This report covers the period of 01/01/2006 to 31/12/2006 of a two-year planning and appeal process.
In a world of global challenges, continued poverty, inequity, and increasing vulnerability to disasters and disease, the International Federation with its global network, works to accomplish its Global Agenda, partnering with local community and civil society to prevent and alleviate human suffering from disasters, diseases and public health emergencies.
In brief
Programme Summary: The Mozambique Red Cross Society1 (CVM) is implementing a food security programme, combined with water and sanitation (WatSan) interventions, in drought prone regions as well as a HIV and AIDS programme, mainly focusing on prevention and home-based care (HBC). Support for the latter is provided through the Federation Regional Delegation in Harare under a consortium of donors. CVM is the implementing partner for the Disaster Risk Reduction programme funded by the British government's Department for International Development (DFID), through the Federation, for three years. In 2006, the National Society also implemented a community-based health programme (CBHC) with support from various bilateral and multilateral partners.
Goal: CVM aims to scale-up all its programmes - which include WatSan, CBHC, support to people living with HIV (PLHIV) orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and effective disaster preparedness - to reach more vulnerable people in all provinces of Mozambique. This will be achieved by strengthening the organizational capacity development and volunteer management, as well as efficient coordination, cooperation and strategic partnerships at all levels.
Needs: Total 2006-2007 budget CHF 4,610,048 (USD 3,791,158 or EUR 2,845,709), out of which 16.9 per cent covered.

Number of people we help: Approximately 452,383 people benefited from basic health care, improved conditions for deliveries, supply of essential drugs for the most common diseases, and access to health education. A total of 5,400 people have benefited from the WatSan project which covered clean water supply and sanitation, through construction of latrines and hygiene promotion campaigns. The disaster management programme reached thousands of people, mainly though emergency response programmes and community-based disaster preparedness initiatives.
