The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique are to cooperate in the fields of agronomy and forestry by transforming the Agrarian Institute of Bilibiza into a centre of excellence. A statement from AKF says that the collaboration between the two institutions aims to enable the Bilibiza Agrarian Institute (IABil) to contribute to the prosperity of small farmers by enhancing their capacity to manage and sustainably utilise natural resources. Under the agreement, the Faculty of Agronomy and Forest Engineering (FAEF) will train small farmers and IABil teachers, and students from both institutions will also receive training through professional internships.
