Quality Education
“We support public education as a common good, and with our unique education programmes and projects we seek to make learning a life-changing experience for students and teachers alike and inspire others to do the same.”
Ensuring access and improving the quality of education and vocational training are among the key concerns of ADPP Mozambique. In order to contribute to the efforts of the Government of Mozambique in these areas, ADPP runs 1 Institute of Higher Education, 11 Teacher Training Colleges, covering all provinces of the country, 2 Vocational Schools (Sofala and Nampula), 1 secondary and 2 primary schools (Maputo and Manica).
ADPP Teacher Training Colleges train primary school teachers who are both passionate educators and capable of leading various community development initiatives in the rural communities. To date, around 25,082 primary school teachers have graduated from the ADPP Teacher Training Colleges. ADPP also supports a network of graduated teachers, offering training and peer support to in-service teachers.
The Institute of Higher Education for Education and Technology – One World (ISET- One World) is training qualified professionals through Bachelor Degrees in Pedagogy, Environmental Education and Community Development along with Master’s courses in Pedagogy and didactics. These courses are also run as distance learning.
Through their training courses, the 2 Polytechnic Institutes offer opportunities for young people to access the job market or seek self-employment. In 2023, the Institutes ran 3-year courses of agriculture, construction and hospitality. These institutions are also running short courses with skills training across a range of subjects.
With its interventions in inclusive education, in 2023 ADPP worked with 1,132 primary schools in 8 provinces. In 750 Primary Schools we worked to engage the community in bilingual education, in 327 with in service training of teachers in participatory teaching methods, in 75 with inclusive education and in 800 of them working with the school councils and promoting girls’ education.
Facing the huge need for quality primary education, we train teachers committed and with open minds, giving their students the joy of learning which leads to their progress, building on 30 years of experiences in teacher training.

Health and Well-Being
“ADPP mobilises people living with HIV to form diverse support groups and take charge of their own health”
In 2023, ADPP’s interventions in the provinces of Nampula, Zambézia, Sofala, Tete, and Maputo reached 1.9 million people with TB information and screening, supporting 30,838 people to complete treatment through Directly Observed Treatment. Mobile nurse services screened 6,716 children, starting 3,980 on preventive treatment. Employing a people-to-people approach, TB champions and community leaders engage communities in TB prevention through education and dialogue, combined with active case finding and person-centered treatment support. The malaria prevention project reached over 680,000 community members and 406,000 school children, distributing over one million treated mosquito nets. Additionally, the Transform Nutrition project in Nampula directly benefited over one million pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls, and children through comprehensive nutrition and hygiene interventions, supported by community leaders and health committees.
The knowledge and tools to prevent, diagnose, and treat TB exist, but due to a lack of resources, this capacity does not reach everyone in Mozambique, where more than 100,000 people contract TB every year. ADPP supports people in the prevention, detection, and treatment of TB through community outreach.

Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
"Expand livelihood clubs to establish platforms for small-scale producers to develop their abilities to establish and improve sustainable food systems, and build long-term climate resilience."
A call for transformation to Sustainable Agriculture and protection of the environment
Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in establishing sustainable food systems locally, ensuring natural resources management and in building resilience to climate-induced extreme events in their communities.
Smallholder farming is the backbone of Mozambique’s economy. About 80% of the population are heavily depended on agriculture as their primary source of livelihood. But farming is characterized by low levels of production and productivity. When combined with climate extremes and global economic slowdowns it is causing devastation on already fragile food systems and the livelihood of millions.
This call for radical changes towards sustainable agriculture, with localised food systems producing for people under local control. It goes along holistic and integrated approaches across sectors, where the potential of smallholder farmers is a key force to be reckoned with.
ADPP’s agriculture development concept, Farmers’ Clubs*, places the farmers and their families at the centre towards shifting to sustainable farming, diversifying and increasing their production and income, protecting the environment and building resilience towards climate change.
“ADPP’s sustainable agriculture concept Farmer’s Clubs, empowers smallholder farmers to address their many challenges through mutual support and collaboration, leading the way towards more productive, diversified and sustainable agriculture, forestry and fishery practices”
The Farmer’s Club Concept
We support smallholder farmers, fishers, foresters and other producers through the Farmer’s Club concept to increase production, productivity and diversification by implementing climate smart agriculture, improving the management and use of natural resources, adopting appropriate approaches and technologies for increased and diversified production and strengthening market access of agricultural products. This will increase their resilience, food security, nutrition and availability of produce for local and regional markets.
Renewable Energy
ADPP promotes renewable energy for irrigation and clean cooking stoves. Scaling up of renewable energy programmes, introducing of solar illumination systems, milling, cooling, solar powered irringation systems and transportation of crops.
Building a Blue Future for Ecosystems and People
33 Livelihood Clubs established by women and men, making their living from mainly fishing in coastal areas of Mossuril and Memba districts. They have adopted sustainable fishing practices, and ecosystem-based agriculture production to improve their resilience. They are harvesting vegetables contributing to improved diets, and increase income by selling excess produce to the market. Most clubs have started saving and credit schemes planning to start other alternative income generating production and sales.

Humanitarian Action
Natural disasters have always affected Mozambique, and with Climate Change these disasters are increasing in frequency and strength. In 2023, more than 1,200,000 people were directly affected by Cyclone Freddy. ADPP supported more than 4,000 people in Maputo, Zambezia and Manica provinces with:
- Support for those affected in Manica and Zambezia, in adhering to HIV and TB treatment, including distribution of seeds for the creation of gardens to ensure healthy food;
- Participation in the campaign against Cholera, distributing chlorin in the communities in the Province of Zambezia, together with the Ministry of Health;
- Distribution of Family Packages of Second Hand Clothes and bottles of mineral water to affected families in Boane District, Maputo Province.
The actions had a very positive impact on the families who had the support of ADPP, which allowed them to overcome the problems caused by the disaster and resume their lives.
