MOZAMBIQUE Food Security Outlook April Through September 2011
MOZAMBIQUE Food Security Outlook April through September 2011 In April and May 2011, FEWS NET is transitioning its classification system from the FEWS NET Food Insecurity Severity Scale to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification’s (IPC) Household-based Acute Food Insecurity Reference Table, which is scheduled for release with IPC version 2 in July 2011. For more information see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale. Key Messages Figure 1. Current estimated food security outcomes, April 2011 • At this point in the season, food is available and markets are adequately supplied throughout the country. With the exception of localized areas affected by weather shocks (floods and long dry spells), no acute food insecurity is present for the majority of rural households. • The selected area of concern includes the semi-arid parts of Massangena, Chigubo, Mabalane, Mabote, Funhalouro, Panda, and Magude districts in the southern region, and Magude, Machaze, Chemba, Changara, and Mutarara districts in the central region. Currently the food security situation is favorable in these districts as households are consuming this season’s crops from the recent harvest, yet the food security situation is likely to deteriorate by the second half of the outlook period. • From April through June, the majority of households throughout the areas of concern will be able to meet their basic food needs thanks to the increased food availability from the harvest of the 2010/11 cropping season. Although the season was marked by localized flooding during the first half Source: FEWS NET of the season, most households had alternative crop fields on higher ground For more information on the IPC Acute Food to secure their seasonal food.

Mozambique Political Process Bulletin 2004 Election specials by e-mail Issue 21 Friday 10 December 2004 Editor: Joseph Hanlon ([email protected]) Deputy editor: Adriano Nuvunga ========================================= IN THIS ISSUE: + Frelimo declares victory + Observers arrested in Tete + Dhlakama alleges "massive fraud" + Counting begins in Maputo + 556 phantom polling stations + Edital in rubbish + No province meets count deadline ========================================= FRELIMO DECLARES VICTORY BASED ON SAMPLE COUNT Frelimo held a press conference yesterday afternoon to release the result of a sample count, which shows a clear Frelimo victory. The Electoral Observatory carried out the sample count based on 792 polling stations, and the results give Guebuza 60% and Dhlakama 31% in the presidential race, and Frelimo 61% and Renamo 27% in the parliamentary race. On Thursday Brazao Mazula, Vice-Chancellor of Eduardo Mondlane University, representing the Electoral Observatory, delivered copies of the parallel count to the two presidential candidates, Armando Guebuza and Afonso Dhlakama, the National Election Commission (CNE), and the Constitutional Council. The Observatory count is based on a sample of 792 polling stations -- every 16th polling on the official list. The sample was collected by 1600 observers from the Electoral Observatory, a coalition of seven major Mozambican groups. They were supported by the Carter Center and experts in parallel vote counts, and the sample count should predict the final result very well. The Electoral Observatory is composed of the Christian Council (the umbrella grouping of the main protestant churches), the Islamic Council, the Catholic Bishops' Conference, the Human Rights League (LDH), the Mozambican Association for the Development of Democracy (AMODE), the Centre for Studies in Democracy and Development (CEDE), and the Organisation for Conflict Resolution (OREC).
