Households that have been displaced by the flooding along the lower Licungo and Zambezi river basins are living in temporary accommodation centers and are only able to meet their minimal food requirements through humanitarian assistance. While a comprehensive needs assessment is forthcoming by the joint Government and Humanitarian Country Team (HTC), the severity and high risk of further flooding in the central and northern river basins, suggests that food and non-food interventions will be required to avert worsening food security outcomes and to ensure the recovery of livelihoods among households in these areas. As the lean season progresses the food security conditions throughout parts of the country not impacted by flooding are stable. For this time of the year more households than usual are still consuming food stocks from their 2013/14 above-average production. From January to June most of the households across the country will face Source: FEWS NET Minimal acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 1) while poor households displaced This map represents acute food insecurity by flooding within the Licungo and Zambezi river basins are expected to be outcomes relevant for emergency decision- making.

Together these areas cover approximately 134,944km2. Aerial and ground surveys have been conducted to monitor the status and distribution of the large mammal species that support the industry. The distribution of is concentrated in three core regions: Niassa, Tete and Sofala. The economy of Mozambique is structured around agriculture, manufacturing, industry and services. GDP is estimated $12.83 billion in 2011 and grew by 7.2%. Tourism contribution towards GDP is estimated at roughly 2% by the WTTC. Tourism hunting contribution towards overall GDP is insignificant (<0.01%) and is a reflection of the scale of the industry.

The current first phase is attempting to evaluate the direct contribution of tourism hunting to the economy in the country. The second phase is due to evaluate the indirect values of the tourism hunting with particular reference to the ecosystem services provided by hunting areas throughout the country. The final report is expected to produce a global picture of the importance of the tourism hunting for the country. Tourism hunting has been a feature of Mozambique’s wildlife conservation programme since the 1970’s and evolved from a loose system of areas set aside for hunting to a structured system of hunting blocks or Coutadas. The civil war in the 1980’s disrupted its progress but today there are 53 hunting areas under the control of the Direção Nacional de Areas de Conservação (National Directorate for Conservation Areas (DNAC) within the Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) and 37 areas (11 Provincial and 26 Fazendas do Bravio (or Game Farms) under the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG).
