WFP Mozambique WFP Mozambique Emergency Situation Report Mozambique 27 February 2008 Essential Information: Total WFP Caseload: 258,000 floods in the Center; 227,000 drought in the South through March Total food distributed: 15,300 metric tons (floods and drought response, Oct07– present) Staff assisting emergency response: 57 (including 15 national UNV district Food Aid Monitors, 20 Country Office staff, 15 international surge staff and 7 local short-term recruitments) In country stocks: 3,570 mt (for emergency response, February distributions) 1. HIGHLIGHTS • Water levels in all central region rivers are decreasing, though some sections of the Zambezi and Púnguè Rivers remain above flood alert levels. Water levels in northern Mozambique continued to fluctuate, with a tendency to stabilize. • The Cahora Bassa Dam is discharging water at a relatively low rate of 1,850 cubic meters per second. The dam reservoir is still filing, but is at a safe 71% full. • In the next 48 hours, rainfall and isolated storms are forecast throughout Mozambique. The annual rainy season continues through March, so authorities and people living near rivers remain on alert. • INGC estimates that approximately 21,500 households, 102,000 people, have moved to resettlement centers as a result of the 2008 floods. This increases resettlement populations where centers continue to house people displaced by the floods of 2007 and, in some cases, of 2000/2001. (Source: CENOE) • On 26 February, 11 new cases of cholera were reported in Cholera Treatment Centers (CTC) in Tete province and 24 new cases in Sofala province. Cumulative cases of cholera in these provinces are 825 and 714 respectively. To date, there have been 14 cholera-related deaths in Tete. (Source: CENOE) 2. SECURITY & POLITICAL SITUATION • The security situation in Maputo City is normal, despite a further strike of minibus drivers on Monday this week. With concessions on fuel prices from the Government, minibuses are again operating normally. 3. OPERATIONAL ISSUES • WFP is working closely with INGC and district authorities to determine exact numbers of affected people in each district, as some districts have reported unrealistically high numbers during the last week. • The WFP Deputy Country Director will visit Caia from 28 February to 04 March. 4. CONSTRAINTS • Road access remains problematic in some locations in Tete province, including in Magoe, Mutarara, and Zumbo districts. 5. PROGRAMMING ISSUES 5.1 Target populations/beneficiaries • The initial VAC assessment indicates that 258,000 people require immediate food assistance through March 2008, while at least 226,500 of these people are expected to require continued food assistance beyond this initial period. WFP will continue to work closely with INGC to incorporate the newly displaced people into WFP’s overall emergency response, with priority given to those in resettlement and transit centers. 5.2 Assessments • The level of need for flood-affected populations in central Mozambique beyond April will be determined through a full Government-led VAC assessment to be conducted in late March 2008, with results available mid-April. 5.3 Food Distributions • WFP and cooperating partners, including, Conselho Cristão de Moçambique, ESMABAMA, CEDES, ADRM, BADES, World Vision, Save the Children Alliance, World Relief and OIKOS continue to carry out food distributions according to the February distribution plan in flood-affected districts. 1 of 3 WFP Mozambique • Since emergency operations began in central Mozambique in January, WFP and cooperating partners have distributed 2,350 tons of food to some 200,000 people in 13 flood-affected districts, as of 27 February 2008. 2008 Mozambique Flood Response Partnerships Province District WFP Cooperating Partner Inhambane Govuro Conselho Cristão de Moçambique (CCM) Manica Tambara Concern International Sofala Buzi ESMABAMA Caia Comité Ecuménico para o Desenvolvimento Social (CEDES) Chemba Conselho Cristão de Moçambique (CCM) Dondo WFP Machanga BADES Marromeu Conselho Cristão de Moçambique (CCM) Nhamatanda WFP Tete Magoe Associação de Desenvolvimento Rural de Magoe (ADRM) Mutarara World Vision International Zambezia Chinde German Agro Action Maganja da Costa WFP Mopeia Save the Children and Conselho Cristão de Moçambique (CCM) Morrumbala OIKOS - Cooperação e Desenvolvimento 5.4 Monitoring • All WFP sub-offices are closely monitoring the situation. WFP employs 36 National UNV Food Aid Monitors who cover 54 districts across Mozambique, including 15 who are posted and resident in the flood-affect districts of the central provinces. 5.5 Pipeline and Food Supply • WFP’s PRRO pipeline will break in April and has a total shortfall of 29,400 mt. The shortfall for the emergency relief portion of the PRRO is 7,600 mt through July 2008. 6. LOGISTICS • The SO 10726.0 – through which the emergency logistics operation is being resourced – continues to be dangerously under funded. Currently all helicopters have been served termination notices. Additional funding is urgently required. • Helicopters performed sling deliveries to the newly inaccessible localities of Noere and Nzanza in Mutarara district. • One emergency flight was performed from Mutarara to Traquino on 23 February to deliver urgently needed medicine in response to the outbreak of cholera. • UNHAS coordinated a medical evacuation by helicopter on 25 February from Mutarara to Caia on behalf of UNICEF. • An additional boat with a capacity of 7 mt has been added to the existing fleet. The 30 mt barge arrived in Caia and commenced operations on 23 February, carrying a load of UNICEF OVC kits to Chinde district. • Road conditions in the area are improving on a daily basis. Reports from the area indicate that some roads are beginning to dry out which is resulting in increased landside capacity along certain routes. The Logistics Cluster has 13 trucks in use for road transportation. Three trucks are being used to load helicopters and two are being used to load boats. The remaining vehicles are scheduled for road deliveries according to distribution plans. 7. EMERGENCY TELECOMMUNICATIONS • WFP, Telecoms Sans Frontières (TSF) and INGC ICT staff installed two VHF repeaters on Morrumbala Mountain (1,100m, 39.8 km north of Caia). The interagency repeater provides relatively good connectivity for the base and mobile radios, but not for handsets. Another VHF repeater kit with a high-gain antenna is being transported to Caia to improve connectivity in the Zambezi River Valley. • TSF technicians installed a VSAT ground station in Mopeia district to provide internet connectivity for the humanitarian community. • The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster has installed an HF base radio at the Concern International office in Tambara district (note that Tambara is not an ETC operational area), which will also be used by WFP and INGC who have regular missions to Tambara. The equipment and installation materials were provided by WFP. 2 of 3 WFP Mozambique • Following a request from INGC an HF base radio was installed at Ilea Salvia in Chinde district. 8. COORDINATION / EXTERNAL RELATIONS • WFP helped coordinate a visit to Caia of the US Chargé d'Affaires and the Ambassadors of Norway, Sweden and Finland on 20 February. The delegation met with the District Administrator and the Deputy Director of INGC, visited two resettlement centers where food distributions were ongoing, toured warehouses managed by the Logistics Cluster, and were briefed about the UNHAS-coordinated air operations at the airfield. • The emergency clusters are requested to submit progress reports of their activities to the Resident Coordinator’s Office by 28 February. 9.

  • Above-Average Harvests Likely to Lead to Largely Minimal Food Insecurity Outcomes
    MOZAMBIQUE Food Security Outlook June 2017 to January 2018 Above-average harvests likely to lead to largely Minimal food insecurity outcomes KEY MESSAGES Due to above-average food availability from the 2016/17 season, most areas of Current food security outcomes, Mozambique are experiencing Minimal (IPC Phase 1) acute food insecurity June 2017 outcomes as the majority of poor households are able to meet their basic food needs from their own production and access from markets, particularly due to relatively low prices. These outcomes are generally expected to continue until January 2018. Exceptions include the semiarid areas in the central region where Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes will persist given the slow recovery from the drought due to disrupted livelihoods caused by the recently ended armed conflict and irregular 2016/17 rainfall in these areas. Some vulnerable poor households are likely even facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes. The country is generally experiencing above-average (5-year average) crop production, including in the chronically deficit southern areas, such as the interior semiarid areas of Gaza and Inhambane provinces. In contrast, parts of the previously conflict-affected semiarid areas in the central region, including parts of Caia, Chemba, and Maringue districts in Sofala Province, parts of Tambara district in Manica Province, and southern parts of Mutarara and Doa districts in Tete Province, production levels are below average. Most of the main monitored markets are adequately supplied with staple foods Source: FEWS NET and other commodities. Maize grain prices have been decreasing significantly FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. since January/February and are close to the five-year average.

  • Parts of Central Semiarid Areas Likely to Be in Crisis During the Lean Season
    MOZAMBIQUE Food Security Outlook Update August 2017 Parts of central semiarid areas likely to be in Crisis during the lean season KEY MESSAGES Projected food security outcomes, August Minimal (IPC Phase 1) acute food insecurity outcomes are expected to continue to September 2017 through September, except in parts of northwestern Sofala Province where long dry spells in February 2017 caused crop losses and Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes persist. These central semiarid areas are projected to move to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) due to an early lean season onset in October, and Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are also likely in nearby Mutarara District in Tete and Tambara in Manica. The ongoing mice infestation, which is particularly severe in the central and southern regions, is posing a serious threat to second season crops. According to local authorities, in some places the number of mice has reached unprecedented levels. The impact of Fall Armyworm and other pests on second season production continues to be minimal. On average, from June to July, maize grain prices remained stable and are currently below the five-year average by nine percent. Among the falling maize grain prices, the largest monthly drop occurred in Pemba by 25 percent. Generally July is likely to mark the lowest maize prices for the year before they Source: FEWS NET begin an ascending trend. Maize meal and rice prices slightly decreased or stabilized in July. Projected food security outcomes, October 2017 to January 2018 CURRENT SITUATION Currently, Minimal (IPC Phase 1) acute food insecurity outcomes persist countrywide, except in the central semiarid areas of Chemba, Caia, and Maríngue districts in Sofala Province, which are currently experiencing Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes.

  • Mozambique – Floods and Cyclone
    U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) Mozambique – Floods and Cyclone Fact Sheet #1, Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 March 22, 2007 BACKGROUND AND KEY DEVELOPMENTS • Between December 2006 and February 2007, heavy rains across northern and central Mozambique, together with severe rainfall in neighboring countries, led to flooding along the Zambezi River Basin in Tete, Manica, Sofala, and Zambezia provinces. According to the Government of the Republic of Mozambique (GRM) National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC), the flooding affected an estimated 285,000 people, including more than 163,000 people who sought shelter in GRM-managed accommodation and resettlement centers. These rains closely followed earlier flooding from October to December 2006, which affected 46,500 people. On February 4, the INGC activated its national disaster response plan and began evacuating populations from low-lying communities in the Zambezi River basin. • On February 22, 2007, Tropical Cyclone Favio made landfall in Vilankulo District, Inhambane Province, as the equivalent of a Category 4 storm, and continued through Sofala and Manica provinces. According to the INGC, the cyclone killed 9 people and affected more than 160,000 people, destroying crops and threatening local food security. Following the cyclone, the INGC, together with the U.N. World Food Program (WFP), implemented a response plan and provided food assistance to cyclone-affected populations. • On March 6, 2007, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Daniel Johnson declared a humanitarian emergency in Mozambique due to the flooding and cyclone. To date, USAID/OFDA has provided emergency relief supplies valued at $676,500 to affected populations.
