Mozambique fish farms aid recovery in Nangade District
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
In Nangade District, Mozambique, 180 people received fish farming tanks and support to rebuild their livelihoods after years of conflict and displacement.
The Government of Cabo Delgado Province, UNDP, and the Government of Japan partnered to deliver the tanks to 18 community associations in October 2026. Each association, with around ten members, will manage a tank and received fingerlings, fish feed, and technical assistance.
This initiative aims to improve food security and economic independence for approximately 900 households by increasing access to protein and creating income from fish sales. The project recognises that lasting recovery requires more than just rebuilding infrastructure, but also empowering communities to participate in the local economy. By giving local associations control over the fish farms, the programme encourages community ownership and cooperation. UNDP will continue to provide technical support to help the associations manage the farms independently and sustainably.
The intervention aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals, including those focused on poverty, hunger, economic growth, and peace.
