| dc.description | Prior to the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020, 1.6 million people in Mozambique were already estimated to be facing acute food insecurity at crisis or worse levels (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification [IPC] Phase 3 and above). The country is directly exposed to the effects of COVID-19 on people’s lives and wellbeing, aggravated by a weak and overburdened health system and high levels of malnutrition. There are also serious indirect impacts on livelihoods, through disruptions to food supply chains and access to food, basic services and humanitarian assistance. In areas that are still recovering from two cyclones and recent drought and floods, any further disruption to food production and value chains could be catastrophic. More specifically, the Southern Region (currently affected by drought), Central Region (affected by Cyclone Idai last year), Cabo Delgado in the north (affected by Cyclone Kenneth, floods, conflict and internal displacement), and low-income urban/peri-urban populations across the country will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. | |
