The Mozambican government has secured approximately $90 million to finance measures aimed at mitigating the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, focusing particularly on the protection of agricultural production and food security in the country. This announcement was made by President Daniel Chapo during the launch of the 2026/2027 Agricultural Campaign in Sanga district, Niassa province. In his address, Chapo indicated that the funding has been mobilised with assistance from international partners, including the World Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and the African Development Bank. The allocated funds will enhance the agricultural sector’s capacity to respond to climatic challenges through the provision of climate-adapted seeds, irrigation equipment, support for farmers and livestock producers, and improvements to early warning systems. “While we cannot control the climate, we can better prepare our agriculture to confront the challenges posed by these climatic effects,” Chapo stated, emphasising the need for proactive measures and preparedness for potential disasters. He also warned of the adverse impacts of climate change on crops, livelihoods, and food security, recalling the floods and inundations that affected the nation during the last rainy season.
