Who we are

ADPP Mozambique develops communities, creates opportunities, and brings hope, through its people-driven initiatives, which promote health, education, and sustainable agriculture

About us

ADPP Mozambique is a Mozambican non-governmental organisation working in the areas of quality education, health and well-being, sustainable agriculture and the environment.

About ADPP Mozambique

Created in 1982, the organisation has grown steadily, expanding its interventions throughout the country with the implementation of various projects. It currently employs around 3,300 people and implements more than 60 projects in all the country's provinces, benefiting around 8.2 million Mozambicans every year.

ADPP's activities depend on funding from partnerships that have been created and established over the more than 40 years of its existence in the country. The Mozambican government has always been a great ally, in addition to local and international partners, with whom we seek to improve the living conditions of all Mozambicans and promote the equitable, social and economic development of the country.

We are committed to being part of the international community. The goals set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development continue to guide our work and are incorporated into everything we do.

ADPP Mozambique is a member of the Human People to People Federation, a global network of international non-profit associations created in 1996, which share a set of values to protect the planet, empower communities, create development by supporting people who join forces and develop their potential for positive change.

The HPP Federation has 30 independent member associations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The activities of the Federation and its members are aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda and are based on co-operation between members.

Transparency and Accountability

ADPP Mozambique is committed to operating within this framework to ensure greater accountability among its partners and recipients of donor support, and also that its strategic frameworks are open to public scrutiny.

NGO Governance Benchmark

ADPP Mozambique has been certified through an external audit by ACPO SA of Switzerland, for governance policies and procedures and the implementation thereof, using the NGO Governance Benchmark by NGO Governance Standards SA of Geneva, Switzerland. The standard was developed by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) to provide non-governmental organisations with a management tool dedicated to highlight their key strengths and weaknesses in their functioning. It targets three key objectives: 1) show evidences of accountability, 2) strengthen trust with respect to their donors, and 3) highlight areas of improvement to foster operational efficiency.
Our organisation had its first certification in 2021 by SGS.
