Mozambique: 2024 Humanitarian Response Dashboard - Conflict, As of September 2024 -ENG/PT

By the end of September 2024, some 1.39 millions people were reached, including 722,000 women and more than 792,000 children. People reached included internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees, and host communities.
A more granular analysis of the assistance provided reveals that while in Cabo Delgado the assistance provided was multisectoral in Niassa assistance was provided by two clusters (Education and FSL). In Nampula, multisectoral assistance was provided in Erati district in response to the IDP outflow from Cabo Delgado. In Cabo Delgado, between January and September 2024, FSL partners have reached 962,608 unique beneficiaries across 14 districts of Cabo Delgado (Ancuabe, Balama, Chiure, Ibo, Macomia, Mecufi, Metuge, Mocimboa da Praia, Montepuez, Mueda, Muidumbe, Namuno, Nangade and Pemba), but they have covered only 13 per cent of the food needs of the targeted people.

The number of host communities assisted went beyond the initial target. The overreach can be attributed to the fact that during the planning phase the number of people in host communities was calculated to match the number of IDPs, on a one-to-one basis. However, as the crisis continued, it became clear that many more people— including those who had not fled but remained in their homes —were in urgent need and the humanitarian response was expanded to support all those affected by the crisis.

Of the 71 humanitarian organizations coordinating assistance through the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), a quarter are national non-governmental organizations (NNGOs). Despite their significant presence, NNGOs received less than one percent of the HRP funding, primarily through sub-grants from UN agencies. This highlights a critical gap in direct funding to local organizations that are often at the forefront of response efforts.

At the end of September 2024, the HRP was 36 per cent funded, having received approximately U$148.8 million of $413 million requested. An additional $8.9 million has been received. Funding imbalances among clusters persisted in 2024; all clusters received below 40 per cent of funding except for Coordination and Common Service Sector, the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster and the Refugees response.
