Descripción
The crisis in northern Mozambique has rapidly deteriorated owing to conflict, insecurity and violence, leading to significant displacement, disruption of livelihoods and lack of access to basic services. The violence has escalated since January 2020 with reports of attacks by non-state armed groups expanding geographically at increased intensity. The conflict is worsening food and nutrition insecurity in the region, where communities are yet to recover from the impacts of Cyclone Kenneth that landed in April 2019.
About 90 percent of the IDPs are residing with host communities, while the remainder have been relocated to sites that still do not have adequate basic facilities and services. While agriculture was the main livelihood of the IDPs before their lives were disrupted by the conflict, it is crucial that, from the outset, appropriate measures are in place to ensure IDPs and their host communities produce adequate healthy food, while sustainably managing their land, water, forestry and fish resources.
It is within this context that FAO launched the ALRP for northern Mozambique for 2021-2023. The funding appeal of USD 45 million has the overall aim to immediately enhance the food and nutrition security of 100 000 households of the IDPs and host communities affected by conflict, while laying the foundation to sustainably build resilient livelihoods against future climatic shocks and stressors. Support provided to the IDP and host communities will ensure they resume local crop production, fishing and livestock-rearing activities, while sustainably managing soil, forest and fish resources.
