The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) have signed two agreements for the Miombo forest Protection.
They will implement projects for protecting the miombo forest and facilitating trade in the border region between Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
The first project was the Integrated Transboundary Sustainable Management of Miombo Forests.
The second project is "Zim-Moza Agriculture Value Chain & Trade Development Project" (Zim-Moza ATDP).
The Miombo is a biome that includes tropical and subtropical grasslands, bushlands, and savannahs.
It also encompasses four bio-regions and is responsible for maintaining the Greater Zambezi, one of the most important transnational river basins.
