Serving as a critical trade and mobility route along the border between Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia, the Nacala corridor plays a key role in the region's economic development, income growth and employment creation. The corridor serves an important trade route for Small-Scale Cross-Border Trade (SSCBT), which is a heavily feminized economic activity. Despite its potential for fostering economic diversification and growth through intra-regional trade and investment, women engaged in SSCBT face challenges that hinder their economic activities and jeopardize their safety. Against this background, the objective of this project is to contribute to the empowerment of Mozambican women by providing targeted support to enable safe and prosperous cross-border trade toward gender-inclusive economic growth. The targeted outcome of the project is that Female SSCBTs at the Zobué Border Cross Point (BCP) contribute actively to sustainable development through improved collaboration between SSCBT associations and Government officials, resulting in sustainable, safe and climate change-adapted livelihoods. This Outcome will be achieved through three key outputs. First, risks and vulnerabilities related to cross-border trading will be mapped and addressed in cooperation with the community (Output 1.1). Second, SSCBT associations will receive capacity development training related to organizational capacity, strategic partnerships and knowledge, promoting women's full and effective participation, advocacy and enhanced economic opportunities (Output 1.2). Finally, platforms of discussion between the government and other relevant stakeholders will be established, and policy recommendations will be developed to promote synergies between trade, mobility, and development (Output 1.3).
