The event is being held under the slogan: "Urbanization: a Priority for Sustainable Municipal Development", and as a way of boosting the promotion of national and provincial agricultural activity in particular, the provincial government of Zambézia has encouraged the participation and representation of all the districts in the province, with a view to demonstrating their agricultural potential and promoting the exchange of experience between rural producers.
ADRA Mozambique, in particular through the beneficiaries of the AVIR project, and representing the district of Lugela, promoted the exhibition and marketing of tubers (cassava, yams (madumbe) and sweet potatoes); cereals (maize); legumes (sesame and peanuts); fruit (bananas, oranges and lemons), including sugar cane and pumpkin.
The President of the Republic, for his part, stressed the importance of providing technical assistance to local producers, pointing out that it should not be ignored that the largest source of family income is based on agriculture.
Point out that the aim of the AVIR project is to strengthen the capacity of women, young people and people with disabilities to demand and influence the provision of local public services and to ensure that they are respected, valued, visible and actively involved in social and economic processes and represented in public decision-making spaces at district, provincial and national level.
