Introduces tank-based tilapia farming to households and women's and youth groups in Sofala and Manica, with training in Portuguese, tanks, fingerlings and feed, and a route to local markets. The sustainable fish-farming solutions come from Aquaculture Education and Engineering Services (www.aquaee.org.zw). Partners are invited to sponsor a business. The aim is a dependable protein source and income that survives floods, cyclones and drought better than crops.
Households in central Mozambique face recurring floods, cyclones and drought that destroy crops, and children’s diets are short of animal protein, while there is little local fish-farming knowledge or inputs.
Fish is a key source of protein and micronutrients in Southern Africa, and aquaculture is identified as a way to improve nutrition security (Frontiers in Nutrition, 2024). Local Mozambican production data are limited, so the project records its own baseline and results.
Seven farmer clusters producing fish from tanks, trained farmers who record their results, and evidence on what works in Sofala and Manica.
100 households, with priority for women- and youth-led groups, in fish-farming clusters of 10–15.
500 people targeted
