CONTEXT & RATIONALE
Access Conditions: Ntocota is accessible by road from Pemba in approximately 1 hour, covering around 52 kilometers. The road is paved but in very poor condition. To reach Ntokota, it is necessary to cross Cahora Bassa on a dirt road, which may become impassable during the rainy season. The security situation in the area is generally stable, although it remains volatile and requires continuous monitoring.
BETWEEN 10 AND 17 NOVEMBER 2025, attacks by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) continued in Memba District, Nampula Province, triggering new displacement amid escalating violence across northern Mozambique. Between 16–23 November, joint verification by the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD), District Services for Planning and Infrastructure (SDPI), and IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) confirmed 14,172 families displaced in Erati. Major concentration points include Alua Sede (10,169 families), Miliva (1,634 families), Alua Velha Primary School (2,369 families), Mecufi (2000 households), and Ntocota (288 families).
This document presents the main findings of the assessment. All findings are indicative of the priority needs of the displaced population. Further details can be found in the Methodology Description and Limitations section at the end of the document.
