[2] Canada has participated in peacekeeping missions from 1992 to 1994[2] as part of the United Nations (U.N.) operation ONUMOZ after Mozambique's 15-year civil war.

Canada and the United Nations monitored Mozambique to implement the General Peace Agreement signed between the Republic of Mozambique and the Resistência Nacional Moçambicana, which included protecting transportation routes, ensuring the ceasefire and monitoring the electoral process.

The Agenda also included 3 priority themes: children and youth, food security and economic growth which are all employed in CIDA's efforts towards Mozambique.

Mozambican children are supported through increase in education quality and access to health services, including response to the HIV/AIDS crisis.

At the 2010 G8 Conference, Mozambique was named one of 10 Muskoka Initiative countries, supporting maternal, child and neonatal health.
