Project goal

This project aims at strengthening the capacity of ISPG to provide better agricultural education, research and technical assistance services especially in the areas of agro processing and agriculture and hydraulics and water supply, meeting the needs of the market with a gender perspective. By doing so the institute expects ISPG to be better able to contribute to food security and economic growth in Mozambique through the provision of qualified professionals for the market.
