Contesto | The humanitarian crisis continues to affect districts in Northern Mozambique with an estimated number of 850,599 IDPs currently displaced due to the conflict (IOM, 2023). Pemba municipality hosts the largest population of IDPs with a stunning 70% increase of the total number of inhabitants. The influx of displaced populations, combined with the effects of previous disasters and high socio-economic vulnerability, are having profound impacts on the housing market, the land use and land tenure in areas where IDPs settle, leading to unplanned urbanization. With local authorities and communities largely unprepared to manage such massive population influx, living conditions in hosting areas are continuously deteriorating, limiting access to adequate housing, basic services and community infrastructure, which notably lead also to an improper use of natural resources and environmental degradation. Populations have little access to employment and income generating activities, resulting in situations of increased poverty, food insecurity, marginalization and eroding social cohesion. |
Obiettivi | To strengthen the resilience of communities impacted by displacement, in particular women and girls, and strengthen the capacities of local authorities to address challenges linked with unplanned urbanization following the mass influx of IDPs from Northern Mozambique. |

Effetti a medio termine |
Outcome 1: engagement of communities has improved in participatory and gender-inclusive planning and management at municipal and neighbourhood scale and awareness rising with specific social services provision. Outcome 2: living conditions for vulnerable women and girls within host communities and IDPs have increased at the neighbourhood scale with assisted self-construction of prioritized community infrastructure “including on the job” training and employment / entrepreneurship opportunities. Outcome 3: capacities of local authorities and communities in integration of IDPs have increased, ensuring the sharing of experiences, as well as systemic monitoring and evaluation to extract lessons learned and formulate guidelines for scaling-up. |
