The Vecra-MOZ project aims to enhance skills for climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture by providing training and job opportunities for youth. We focus on promoting vocational excellence and partnering with companies to ensure high-quality skills for a sustainable rural economy.
The main goal of the project is to promote high-quality skills for jobs in climate-resilient agriculture. This helps create an innovative, inclusive, and sustainable rural economy.
The project focuses on training and developing young people and improving training institutions on climate change issues. This will lead to more quality jobs in agriculture and sustainable growth. The project will work with local authorities, private companies, and universities to improve agricultural education and training. This includes updating curricula to address climate change, digital transition, and scientific approaches.
The project will also build the capacity of local Mozambican training providers to strengthen cooperation between private and public stakeholders. It will establish partnerships, promote collaboration, and ensure that training meets local needs and climate challenges. The project aims to improve the quality and relevance of vocational education to better match job market needs.
