Livaningo is a non-profit organisation based in Maputo with regional offices in the centre and north of the country, working on social and environmental justice and community welfare matters in Mozambique. The organisation was formed in 1998 with support from Denmark by individuals, journalists and academics, with the shared interest of protecting public health and the urban environment to prevent the Government from installing a factory to incinerate toxic waste material. Since its inception, the organisation has been implementing a range of activities embedded in good urban governance, natural resources management, extractive industry, climate change, and renewable energy. Moreover, the organisation has also been active in gender, litigation and emergency relief or humanitarian assistance, emphasising emergency and post-emergency assistance for livelihood recovery and resilience. In the last 20 years, the organisation has successfully completed more than 35 major projects in Mozambique, benefiting 92,354 people in rural and urban areas. This has given Livaningo experience and competence in working in advocacy, development and emergency relief. In this, Livaningo has a history of contributing to food security and nutrition, building household resilience by promoting different livelihoods mechanisms such as off-farming and on-farming practices for marginalised people, disaster-affected people, people with disability, women and young people in rural and urban communities. These approaches have enabled thousands of people to boost their living conditions and foster resilience.
