The integrated cross-sectoral project will contribute to the achievement of two USAID/Mozambique Development Objectives (DOs) described in its Country Development Strategy Statement 2014 – 2020: DO 1. Democratic Governance of Mozambican Institutions Strengthened and will be supported through contributions to Intermediate Result (IR) 1.2: Improved Effectiveness, Transparency, and Accountability of Key Government Institutions . “Key Government Institutions” in this case are the institutions of sub-national governance.

Achievement of DO 2: Resilient, Broad-based Economic Growth Accelerated, will be advanced through program support for local economic development activities by participating sub-national governments. Participating sub-national governments will include provinces, districts, and municipalities, but, at all levels of government, the economies of most sub-national governments are likely to include a substantial level of agricultural production, marketing, transport, processing and/or warehousing. Indeed, in Mozambique, broad-based economic growth is difficult to conceive without involvement of smallholder agriculture.
