The population is primarily rural and dependent on agriculture, with 60% living on the coastline. Droughts, flooding and cyclones affect particular regions of the country and these are projected to increase in frequency and severity. The main institution for managing and coordinating climate change responses is the Ministry for Coordination of Environment Affairs (MICOA), the Ministry for Planning and Development also has a key role. New institutions have been proposed under the National Strategy on Climate Change but are not yet operational, it was approved in 2012. (Artur, Tellam 2012:8) Mozambique Climate Vulnerability and future project effects (Artur, Tellam 2012:9) Summary: The main risk/hazards in Mozambique are floods, droughts and cyclones with a very high level of current and future vulnerability in terms of exposure to floods and cyclones as more than 60% of the population lives along the coastline below 100 meters of altitude.

  • End Smear Campaign Against Bishop Lisboa
    First UA:132/20 Index: AFR 41/2914/2020 Mozambique Date: 26 August 2020 URGENT ACTION END SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST BISHOP LISBOA Bishop Don Luis Fernando Lisboa of Pemba city, in Northern Mozambique, has been the subject of an ongoing smear campaign to undermine and delegitimize his vital human rights work in the province of Cabo Delgado. President Nyusi, and government affiliates, have directly and indirectly singled out Bishop Lisboa in their critique of dissidents. The authorities must ensure a safe and enabling environment for Bishop Lisboa to continue his human rights work without fear of intimidation, harassment and any reprisals. TAKE ACTION: WRITE AN APPEAL IN YOUR OWN WORDS OR USE THIS MODEL LETTER President Filipe Jacinto Nyusi President of the Republic of Mozambique Address: Avenida Julius Nyerere, PABX 2000 Maputo – Mozambique Hounorable President Filipe Nyusi, I am writing to you concerning the ongoing smear campaign against human rights defender (HRD), Bishop Don Luis Fernando Lisboa, of Pemba city. On 14 August, in a press conference you gave in Pemba city, the capital of the Cabo Delgado province, you lamented those ‘foreigners’, who freely choose to live in Mozambique, of using human rights to disrespect the sacrifice of those who keep this young homeland. This statement triggered an onslaught of attacks on social media against Bishop Lisboa and his human rights work, with many users accusing Bishop Lisboa of associating with terrorists and insurgents. Furthermore, on 16 August, Egidio Vaz, a well-known government affiliate referred to Bishop Lisboa on his social media platform as “a criminal [who] should be expelled from Mozambique”.

  • Adaptive Governance for a Changing Climate: Government, Communities
    ACCRA CASE STUDY JUNE 2017 ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE FOR A CHANGING CLIMATE Government, communities and others working collaboratively in Mozambique to transform climate adaptation planning systems Community members validating their local adaptation plan with district government officials and ACCRA team in Guija district, Mozambique. Photo: Thomas White In Mozambique, climate change has been increasing the vulnerability of rural and urban communities. Droughts, floods and cyclones are more frequent and severe, and sea- levels continue to rise – and the situation is likely to worsen. This has undermined the government’s efforts to achieve its goal of reducing extreme poverty. The approval of the new National Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy (ENAMMC) in 2012 presented an important opportunity for ACCRA to advise the Government of Mozambique and ultimately to effect systemic and institutional change in planning for climate change adaptation. ACCRA also supported MITADER, which is responsible for operationalizing the strategy, with tools, resources and advice on processes. This story of change was developed following an external evaluation of ACCRA’s work in Mozambique, through a series of interviews and a learning history workshop held in October 2016 in Maputo.
