| Background |
For more than six years, the province of Cabo Delgado in northern Mozambique has been affected by armed conflit, resulting in the displacement of more than 1 million people. In 2019, Cyclone Kenneth devastated Cabo Delgado, adding further stress to an already complex situation. Ongoing violence, combined with increasing climate shocks such as cyclones, continue to cause further displacement and worsen the humanitarian situation. Internally displaced people (IDPs) are putting an enormous strain on already fragile health and water services. Cholera is endemic and an outbreak is currently affecting 3 districts in the province. Health services are limited, water supply insufficient, making adequate water, sanitation and hygiene services even more critical. |
| Objectives | Improve access to water for the conflict affected population in Mueda plateau, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique |
| Target groups |
The target group of the intervention are internally displaced populations in host communities or camps, host communities/residents and returnees in the catchment area of the N’tamba water supply system network. Around 148’194 internally displaced population and host community members will benefit from improved access to water. |
| Medium-term outcomes | The conflict affected population in the catchment area of the N’tamba water supply system network benefit from emergency and sustainable water supply solutions |
| Results |
Expected results: Results from previous phases: Single Phase. However, during a previous intervention through Solidarités International, between November 2021 and September 2022, the following results were achieved: |
