Project General Description
The proposed project is an Emergency Humanitarian Relief Assistance for Tropical Cyclone Freddy. The Bank’s grant will help address an important component of the early recovery efforts, in Mozambique. The grant will be used to provide alternative temporary shelters, to the most vulnerable segment of the affected population through the provision of family tents, emergency kits, seeds and emergency foods. The scale of prolonged floods and cyclones overwhelmed the capacity of Government of Mozambique to provide the required food assistance to the 256,515 affected people in 2023 and the subsequent effects of floods have further increased the need for further assistance to the flood and cyclone affected households for the next 12 months. This assistance will contribute and supplement governments efforts to alleviate the suffering of these affected households through the provision of relief food assistance to help reinstate food consumption and restore the floods affected people’s livelihoods. The emergency assistance is expected to be funded through a grant from the Bank’s Special Relief Fund. It will purchase emergency kits constituting of family tents, shelter tool kits, seeds for agriculture and basic emergency food stuff (sugar and salt). The costs included are local transportation, handling, and storage. It will also cover the financial audit of the emergency operation.
Project Objectives
The main goal of the Bank Group Emergency Relief Assistance to the Government of Mozambique is to provide meaningful contribution to the on-going efforts of the Government and other humanitarian partners to mobilize resources for the interventions of the early recovery phase.
Beneficiaries
The intervention will benefit the Government of Mozambique and people affected by floods and cyclones in 2023. |
