About us

The Grupo de Facilitadores is an informal group. It started with three professionals in 2012 who know each other from the eighties when they worked together in the delta of the Rio Limpopo. The Grupo aims to assist the smallholders and their communities in the Limpopo and Lumane area with suggestions to improve their livelihood and become more resilient to climate change. The Grupo was requested by the Governor of Gaza Province to also look into the possibilities to protect the provincial capital city of Xai-Xai from flooding. And several individuals have asked for advice.

The Grupo is a unique combination of national and international expertise, hands-on agricultural field experience, knowledge of land and water expertise (drainage, irrigation and flood control), climate change, strong local knowledge and network. It is familiar with the international development architecture and social entrepreneurship. They were and still are involved in day to day agricultural support services, water management, rehabilitation of irrigation and drainage schemes and control of the dikes at the left bank of the Rio Limpopo.
