DevPact led co-creation and public-private sector partnership model design using market systems development (MSD) principles in northern Mozambique
The purpose of the five-year Feed the Future Mozambique Resiliência Integrada na Nutrição e Agricultura (RESINA) Activity, is to increase the resilience of smallholder farmers and rural households in target districts in the Zambezia and Nampula provinces of Mozambique. To achieve this, the activity is implementing a local food systems approach that integrates climate change adaptation capacities focusing on innovation, affordable water solutions, and nutrition-sensitive agriculture. The team co-creates solutions with market actors that build their absorptive, adaptive, and transformative capacities. Efforts will also involve shifting how market actors work with communities to anticipate and respond to shocks. DevPact was retained to provide targeted support to FTF RESINA’s technical team to co-create intervention solutions with local market actors and to develop program descriptions (partnership proposals) for approval by USAID and subsequent implementation. In addition, DevPact provided rapid market systems development (MSD) training to the technical team in Nampula, Mozambique. As part of this work, DevPact worked with the FTF RESINA team to prioritise 16 concept notes that were then developed into comprehensive project documents through co-creation sessions with public and private sector partners in Mocuba, Mogovolas, Ribaue, Malema, Murrupula and Alto Molocue.
