  • Summary Mozambique Is Experiencing Dry Weather Conditions, As Normal for This Period of the Year
    Mozambique Food Security Update: September 20, 2000 Summary Mozambique is experiencing dry weather conditions, as normal for this period of the year. However, Vilanculos (Inhambane Province) and Beira Districts (Sofala Province) had above- normal rains during the first and second dekads of August. Overall food security is good because of increased food availability and improved food access. Thanks to the recent harvest, marketed volumes of maize increased considerably during the month and food prices decreased in most locations largely due to good supplies. Land preparations for the first crop season of the 2000/2001 production year have started in some areas of the southern region. However, some 186,400 farm households in central and southern Mozambique face a lack of seeds, tools and fertilizers, largely due to a combination of poverty and poorly developed markets in rural areas. Seed needs, in particular, are tremendously higher this production year (213% higher for maize and 115% for pulses) than in 1999/2000. In some cases, household seed reserves were washed away by the devastating floods and cyclones in February/March. In other cases, crops failed completely and farmers were also left without seeds. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) is working closely with seed companies to guarantee a sufficient supply of seeds on credit for the 2000/2001 production year. Programs to restock chickens, goats and cattle for recovering flood victims are under way in Gaza and Maputo Provinces. Neither major diseases nor water and forage shortages have been reported. This indicates that animals are in good condition. Food availability increased in August as a result of the first season harvest that ended in July.

  • MOZAMBIQUE ZIMBABWE FLOOD REHABILITATION (Appeal 04/2000)
    MOZAMBIQUE & ZIMBABWE: Appeal no: 04/2000 (revision no. 4) FLOOD REHABILITATION 17 July 2000 THIS APPEAL SEEKS CHF 17,913,000 IN CASH, KIND AND SERVICES TO ASSIST 400,000 BENEFICIARIES FOR 6 MONTHS With this revision no. 4 of Appeal 04/2000, the total budget is increased to CHF 47,876,955; the increase of CHF 17,913,000 is exclusively related to the proposed Mozambique flood rehabilitation activities outlined below. Flood rehabilitation plans and activities are moving ahead in Botswana and Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Summary In response to the disastrous flooding caused by torrential rains and the effects of Cyclones Connie and Eline in Mozambique, Botswana, Swaziland and Zimbabwe during February and March 2000, the International Federation launched successive revisions of its Appeal no. 04/2000 to provide assistance to affected communities. Mozambique was particularly badly affected, with its three major river basins along the Limpopo, Save and Buzi rivers suffering the most extensive floods in fifty years. The effects of the record rainfall and cyclonic downpours were exacerbated by the opening of sluice gates of dams up river in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Swaziland. Approximately 4.5 million people, 27% of Mozambique’s population were affected by the flooding, with 700 deaths, almost a hundred missing and 544,000 displaced from their homes. The International Federation’s relief efforts - which reached over 100,000 beneficiaries - were closely coordinated with the Mozambique Red Cross (Cruz Vermelha de Moçambique - CVM). Following the final distributions of ‘reinstallation kits’ to 10,000 families to help them re-establish new homes in late June and early July in six of the affected provinces of Mozambique, the focus of the International Federation and CVM’s activities will now be adjusted.

  • Mozambique Cyclone and Floods Report #2 – 22 February 2007
    Mozambique Cyclone and Floods Report #2 – 22 February 2007 Background Flooding of the Zambeze river valley continues to drive people from their homes increasing the risk of water borne disease and other public health problems. Highlights Tropical Cyclone Favio ripped through an already flooded Mozambique with rain and winds nearing 200 km/hr, exacerbating flooding of the Zambeze river valley. Previous flooding in the provinces of Tete, Manica, Sofala, and Zambezia, has displaced approximately 120 000 people, a number that could rise after the storm. An estimated 70 925 people are already in accommodation centres and 49 866 in resettlement centres that were established after the 2001 floods. Affected people have lost their homes and livelihoods as well as access to medical facilities, sanitation and safe drinking water. Health Situation The displaced population is living in overcrowded camps with poor sanitation and little access to safe drinking water. Morbidity and mortality from malaria, the primary cause of child mortality, and diarrhoeal diseases is expected to increase. Preliminary Assessment Results WHO/MOH teams are returning from the field with preliminary assessments of the situation. As of 22 February: Tete Province: - In Zumbo, 13 950 people are affected, losing primarily crops and livestock. - Access to Zumbo District is very difficult. It is reachable only by air, more than two days by boat, and car through Zimbabwe ( 8 hours minimal ). - Only two residential areas have access to the health facility. - There are few latrines and lack of potable water. - Health concerns include malaria, diarrhoea, and dysentery. - Quelimane Province: - Health facilities are reporting cases of diarrhoea, malaria, conjunctivitis and skin diseases.

  • Floods and Cyclone
    FLOODS AND CYCLONE Version 1.1 – updated 21 March 2007 FLOODS AND CYCLONE Mutarara District / 2007 © EC/ECHO/François Goemans Goemans © EC/ECHO/François 2007 / District Mutarara Vilanculos / 2007 © EC/ECHO/François Goemans Goemans © EC/ECHO/François / 2007 Vilanculos Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) The CAP is much more than an appeal for money. It is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of: • Strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • Resource mobilisation (leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal); • Coordinated programme implementation; • Joint monitoring and evaluation; • Revision, if necessary; and • Reporting on results. The CHAP is a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region and includes the following elements: • A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • An assessment of needs; • Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • Stakeholder analysis, i.e. who does what and where; • A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • Prioritised response plans; and • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary. The CHAP is the foundation for developing a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team. This team mirrors the IASC structure at headquarters and includes UN agencies and standing invitees, i.e. the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR. Non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can be included, and other key stakeholders in humanitarian action, in particular host governments and donors, should be consulted.
