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 74 humanitarian organizations are coordinating through the HRP to assist people in need; a quarter of them are national NGOs delivering support.

Between January and October, approximately 1.6 million people in northern Mozambique received some form of humanitarian assistance, including food aid. However, if food aid interventions are excluded, the number of people reached reduces to one million. The Food Security and Livelihoods partners report the highest level of achievements (120 per cent). However, there is a considerable gap between food aid and livelihood interventions, with the latter having assisted one in 10 people due to underfunding.

At the end of October 2023, the HRP is 35 per cent funded, having received approximately $179 million. An additional $50 million has been received outside the HRP framework. Funding imbalances among clusters persist; the Health and Logistics Clusters have secured more than 60 per cent of their requirements.

With the exception of the Shelter and NFIs Cluster and Coordination and Common Services, which have secured 50 per cent of the necessary funding, the funding levels for the remaining clusters vary, ranging from 14 per cent (Education) to 45 per cent (Refugee response). Education and Protection clusters have consistently remained underfunded throughout the year.
