The IFAD-funded PAMA Programme - the Agricultural Markets Support Programme - supports the implementation of major economic reforms launched by the government during the 1990s, including the commercialization of small-scale farming through better access to markets and improved linkages with private sector operators. The programme enables small-scale farmers in Boane, 30 km south of Maputo, to cultivate cabbages, potatoes, tomatoes and other cash crops in the rehabilitated irrigation schemes which were severely damaged during 16 years of civil war.
