The goal of the SEED project is to increase access to and control over a diversified portfolio of farm and non-farm income generating activities that operate on commercially and environmentally sustainable terms by poor households in the target area of Northern Inhambane. This is consistent with PROAGRI II’s general goal of assisting smallholder farmers to increase agricultural productivity, agro-industry, and marketing within the principles of sustainable use of natural resources. The districts of Mabote and Govoru will be the initial target areas for SEED activities. After two years, the SEED Project will expand to the coastal districts of Vilankulos and Inhassoro. The anticipated impact of the SEED Project is to
reduce poverty and sustained rural economic recovery in the targeted districts. To achieve this impact, SEED focuses on three outcomes:
1. Sustainable increase in CBO revenue from commercial agriculture opportunities Outcome
2. Sustainable increase in revenue from non-farm opportunities Outcome
3. Empowered women, men and households successfully implementing diversified livelihood strategies
