Organizational Setting
The crisis in northern Mozambique due to the conflict, insecurity and violence by non-state armed groups in Cabo Delgado Province has led to the internal displacement of over 1 028 743 people, resulting in significant disruption of their agriculture-based livelihoods. The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) continue to be forced to abandon their land that they used for agricultural production, and lost their productive assets, including agricultural inputs, food stock and livestock. The Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are officially camped in resettlement centres organized by the Government and located in the west and south districts of Cabo Delgado. Within this context, FAO developed a three year plan entitled “Northern Mozambique Agriculture Livelihoods Response Plan 2021- 2023”, through which FAO in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER), the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Fisheries (DPAP) and the National Institute for Disaster and Risk Management (INGD),) is implementing agricultural livelihood activities in Cabo Delgado and Nampula Provinces. These activities aim to immediately enhance the food and nutrition security of households of IDPs and host communities affected by conflict, while laying the foundation to sustainably build resilient livelihoods against future climatic shocks and stressors.
