It is hoped that the strict implementation of actions listed in this document will be a great contribution towards poverty alleviation and sustainable development in Mozambique.

The goal of this project is to reduce communities" vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, thus improving their well-being and protecting livelihoods. The project will promote mainstreaming or integrating vulnerability and adaptation to climate change into sustainable development plans and planning processes through pilot projects in Kenya, Mozambique and Rwanda.
