Break the Trap of Long-Term Poverty and Social, Political and Economic Exclusion

Our holistic needs-based intervention aims to improve the socio-economic and political conditions and livelihoods of people living in poverty and ultra-poverty in remote areas by implementing a BRAC poverty grading methodological approach. This approach provides input, training (early warning signs of radicalization, advocacy, monitoring and evaluation, leadership, business capacity building), mentoring, guidance, research and analysis, policy development and advocacy and economics programs, and practical training or guidance through village mentors to support grassroots movements (women and youth) to advance social and economic development and good governance. In addition, we also provide online resources to Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), holding seminars and virtual leadership programs, training village entrepreneurs on how to expand their businesses, and supporting private companies operating in Mozambique with their social and economic empowerment programs.

We support social enterprises for young people and women that are self-sustainable, cause-driven business entities that create social impact by offering solutions to social challenges and reinventing their surplus to sustain themselves and generate greater impact. They aim to find solutions to social challenges and create surpluses to make a greater impact: initiatives that involve individuals, micro and small companies as suppliers, producers and consumers.

We implement the social development program initiative to facilitate social transformation through the following programmatic priorities: eliminating extreme poverty, expanding financial options, employable skills for decent work, climate change and emergency; gender equality (gender justice and diversity, social empowerment and legal protection); universal access to healthcare (health, nutrition and population; water, sanitation and hygiene); invest in the next generation (education, capacity development, migration and platform for young people and girls).

Humanitarian crisis management responds to natural disasters and conflicts across the country and provides comprehensive services such as access to basic services including healthcare, learning, water hygiene and sanitation, food security and social protection for internally displaced people and host communities. It therefore aims to equip community members with the capacity to provide livelihood opportunities and dignified socio-economic conditions.
