Mozambique: Humanitarian Response Dashboard (November-December 2022)

SITUATION UPDATE

At least 1.5 million people in northern Mozambique needed life-saving and life-sustaining humanitarian assistance and protection in 2022 as a result of the continued impact of armed conflict, violence and insecurity in Cabo Delgado Province.

The armed conflict heightened food insecurity and malnutrition, with families forced to abandon their homes and fields; erratic rainfall in some parts of the region compounded crop losses.

In 2022, the humanitarian response in northern Mozambique targeted 1.2 million people in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa provinces.

The 2022 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) sought U$388.5M to deliver life-saving, life-sustaining assistance and protection to 1.2 million people across the three provinces. A total of 48 humanitarian organisations coordinated through the HRP framework to assist people in need.

At the end of December, the HRP was 70 per cent funded having received $270.4 million. Funding imbalances among clusters persisted with three clusters including, Coordination and Common Services,
Health and Logistics fully funded while Food Security and Livelihoods, Shelter and non-food items clusters secured above 50 per cent of their requirements.

A total of 1.3 million people were reached with humanitarian assistance throughout the year. Achievements against set targets by the clusters range between 38 per cent (Protection) to 124 per cent (Food Security and Livelihoods). Due to increasing needs and limited funding, in April 2022 the Food Security and Livelihoods cluster halved the food basket to 40 per cent of the recommended minimum daily kilo calories required.
