Synopsis (short abstract) For the first time in Mozambique, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in cooperation with Agro-Negocio para o Desenvolvimento de Moçambique (ADM) developed and tested the use of e-vouchers to facilitate farmers’ access to seeds, fertilizers and other inputs needed to increase production and productivity. The e-voucher system is a flexible market development tool that allows farmers to buy certain types of inputs from agro-dealers that accept e-vouchers as a partial payment. This e-Agriculture promising practice factsheet gives details on the experience in Mozambique, unfolding challenges and successes and lessons learned

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and World Food Programme (WFP) co-managed the final evaluation of the joint programme “Accelerate Progress towards Millennium Development Goal 1C in Mozambique” in partnership with the European Union Delegation. The evaluation ensured a participatory process. In addition to having a management group, it counted on a reference group formed by the programme task force and national counterparts. This was fundamental to address the challenges arisen from this exercise and to cope with the delays caused by the cyclones Idai and Kenneth in an ethical manner. As a result of this joint and collaborative exercise completed in 2020, four case studies were produced to document and disseminate good practices with potential to contribute to the achievement of SDG2; i.e. i) reducing food insecurity and malnutrition through a multisector approach, ii) nutrition education and social behaviour change communication, iii) e-vouchers, and iv) farmer field schools.
