ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT:

Mozambique is classified as one of the countries in the world most affected by extreme weather events. Since 2007, eleven Tropical Cyclones have hit Mozambique, and the global climate crisis is driving more frequent and intense floods, storms, and droughts. In Mozambique, the 2023/24 rainy season commenced under the influence of El Niño which predominantly manifested in persistent dryness, with many areas receiving less than half of their typical rainfall’s quantity. 2.7 million people were already food insecure in areas that have been impacted by severe drought conditions during the 2023/24 rainy and agricultural season. These people will likely see their food insecurity situation deteriorate and fall into severe and emergency food insecurity.
