Region IV-A

The use of maps in humanitarian response is not a new phenomena - the shift with application of new technologies is in live mapping, which enables presentation on a map not only of geographic reference points, but also of events, needs, and stories. Live maps present material over both time and space - mappers collect information, visualize, analyse and geolocate events that allow for a response to that information.

This Emergency Appeal seeks CHF 2,728,741 in cash, kind, or services to support the Mozambique Red Cross Society (CVM) to assist 14,000 households (70,000 beneficiaries) for 12 months, and will be completed by the end of February, 2013. A Final Report will be made available by May 2013 (three months after the end of the operation).

In addition, the IFRC is soliciting CHF 62,373 to cover the cost of Shelter Cluster coordination; funds will be allocated to this component when partners expressly indicate their interest.

Life remains a daily struggle for most communities across the region who live in abject poverty. An increase in the frequency, complexity and magnitude of natural disasters, influenced in part by climate change, and coupled with socio-economic shocks, pandemic diseases and endemic inequality, has exacerbated the vulnerability of millions across the region. The region features prominently in terms of prevalence rates for tuberculosis, malaria, diarrhoeal diseases and maternal and child mortality.
