The State of Hunger in Mozambique

Mozambique continues to face a severe humanitarian crisis caused by conflict, climate shocks, and governance challenges. In Cabo Delgado, protracted conflict has displaced 550,000 people, and more than 870,000 people are facing crisis levels of food insecurity. Nearly half of children under five are stunted, and around 28,000 require treatment for acute malnutrition. In 2024, La Niña and Cyclone Chido further reduced access to food and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. Only around 60% of the population has access to safe drinking water, and agricultural production is declining.

How We're Helping in Mozambique

Given the scale of the crisis, we continue our emergency response for host and displaced populations in Cabo Delgado. Our rapid response mechanism enables us to address the most urgent needs, including the provision of food, hygiene, and shelter items. Our multi-sectoral and integrated programs, including livelihood diversification and agricultural revitalization activities, rehabilitating clean water and sanitation infrastructure, running mobile primary healthcare services, and providing lifesaving nutritional support.

We also strengthen the capacity of conflict-affected communities, create climate-resilient communities and infrastructure, and pilot nutrition-sensitive agriculture programs. Following the devastating landfall of Cyclone Chido on 15 December 2024, we supported over 40,000 people with emergency survival items, access to primary healthcare, safe drinking water and sanitation services, and agricultural support.
