In Gorongosa, starting from 2018, Helpcode has implemented, thanks to the financial support of the European Union, the project “Culture and peace hand in hand towards the development of Gorongosa”.
The project has two areas of intervention – one related to peace education and citizenship, and the other related to the strengthening of traditional craft activities (tailoring, basketry, pottery, carpentry) as an alternative income to subsistence agriculture.
The logic of intervention is that a process of sustainable, inclusive and non-violent local development also requires the strengthening of the social and cultural fabric and the valorisation of income-generating activities based on local knowledge and allowing a diversification of the family’s livelihood strategies. In this context, and based on a participative process with different actors in the territory, the project has made these training and support experiences for craft activities visible through the creation of a cultural centre in Gorongosa, rehabilitating and “re-signifying” the old district jail.
Kindly check this document for the full Terms of Reference for the final evaluation of the project, to be carried out through desk research and field work in Gorongosa, Mozambique.
