Mozambique: Humanitarian Response Dashboard (August 2023)

SITUATION UPDATE

At least two million people in northern Mozambique need life-saving and life-sustaining humanitarian assistance and protection in 2023 in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa due to the impact of armed conflict, violence and insecurity in the region.
In 2023, the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) in northern Mozambique seeks US$513 million to target 1.6 million people.
A total of 67 humanitarian organizations are coordinating through the HRP to assist people in need, a quarter of them are national NGOs. Between January and July, approximately 1.4 million people were reached with some form of humanitarian assistance.
The Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster (FSL) reports the highest level of achievements (110 per cent). However, there is a considerable gap between food aid and livelihood interventions which have attained 10 per cent of their target due to underfunding. Since April 2022, half rations have been distributed - except for December 2022 and January 2023- to cover a larger caseload. At the end of August 2023, the HRP is 30 per cent funded, having received $151.9 million. Funding imbalances among clusters persist, only the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Cluster has secured more than 50 per cent of its requirements, while the funding level for the remaining clusters ranges from seven per cent (Education and Protection) to 46 per cent (refugee response).
