In Mozambique we support primary cooperatives in different parts of the country and different value chains to be economically successful and sustainable.
On a secondary and tertiary level, we are fostering exchange among cooperatives and explore the possibilities and benefits of formalized structures which create a benefit for members of primary cooperatives.
An extremely unequal distribution of income and wealth and widespread poverty are among the most pressing problems of Mozambique. For more than ten years we have supported the cooperative sector in the country as part of our regional project in Southern Africa financed by BMZ so it can be a vehicle for economic and social participation.
We support reference Coops to improve their economic, social and environmental sustainability and will enable them to seize the opportunities of digitalization. A start up competition allows young people to discover and utilize the benefits of cooperation. The development of the still young cooperative financial sector in the country is a third pillar of the project.
Fostering exchange and cooperation among cooperatives to allow the sector to build a conducive ecosystem for its members is a further important part of the project.
Government partners on the national and provincial level are supported to gear the implementation of their new program for the promotion of cooperatives towards the needs of the sector. We work with secondary schools and universities to integrate cooperative content into the country’s education system.
