Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureNorthern Mozambique: Response overview
jan/23
2023Also available in:
No results found.The ongoing conflict in Cabo Delgado continues to be the main driver of food insecurity in northern Mozambique. In just a little over a year, there has been a ninefold increase in the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) - from 110 000 in March 2021 to nearly 947 000 in June 2022 (International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix). Other key drivers include irregular rainfall and increasing food prices aggravated by the impact of the war in Ukraine. In its lead role in the agricultural livelihoods response across Mozambique, FAO continues to work with key partners to support affected people in the most remote and hard‑to‑reach areas in the north. In a country where agriculture is the main economic activity, FAO is focusing on restoring food production and enhancing the food security and nutrition of the most vulnerable IDP, host community and returnee populations. -
Policy briefPolicy brief2021–2023 northern Mozambique crisis Agriculture Livelihoods Response Plan 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The crisis in northern Mozambique has rapidly deteriorated owing to conflict, insecurity and violence, leading to significant displacement, disruption of livelihoods and lack of access to basic services. The violence has escalated since January 2020 with reports of attacks by non-state armed groups expanding geographically at increased intensity. The conflict is worsening food and nutrition insecurity in the region, where communities are yet to recover from the impacts of Cyclone Kenneth that landed in April 2019. About 90 percent of the IDPs are residing with host communities, while the remainder have been relocated to sites that still do not have adequate basic facilities and services. While agriculture was the main livelihood of the IDPs before their lives were disrupted by the conflict, it is crucial that, from the outset, appropriate measures are in place to ensure IDPs and their host communities produce adequate healthy food, while sustainably managing their land, water, forestry and fish resources. It is within this context that FAO launched the ALRP for northern Mozambique for 2021-2023. The funding appeal of USD 45 million has the overall aim to immediately enhance the food and nutrition security of 100 000 households of the IDPs and host communities affected by conflict, while laying the foundation to sustainably build resilient livelihoods against future climatic shocks and stressors. Support provided to the IDP and host communities will ensure they resume local crop production, fishing and livestock-rearing activities, while sustainably managing soil, forest and fish resources. -

Also available in:
No results found.Over 80 percent of people in Mozambique depend on agriculture for survival. In Cabo Delgado, relentless conflict and climate shocks have shattered lives and livelihoods. With food insecurity and malnutrition surging, farmers and fishers are struggling to recover as resources dwindle and coping mechanisms are eroded. Urgent action is critical to help these communities restore their ability to produce food and break free from prolonged reliance on aid.

No results found.The Addressing Fisheries and Aquaculture in National Adaptation Plans Supplement provides technical guidance on the integration of fisheries and aquaculture in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and complements FAO’s Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans – Supplementary guidelines (referred to as NAP-Ag Guidelines, FAO 2017a). It aims to draw the attention of policy makers and government officers responsible for NAP planning and processes generally, as well as fisheries and aquaculture officers at country level, specifically. It collates and analyses relevant information from fisheries and aquaculture to support the sector’s ability to take part in national climate change adaptation planning processes. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
