ABOUT THE MISSION
In Mozambique, SI first intervened in March 2019 following the passage of Cyclone Idai, which hit the Province of Sofala and the city of Beira. Operations were suspended after the emergency phase. In the past years, the situation in Cabo Delgado province has deteriorated significantly, being hit by several cyclones and severely affected by the violent actions of armed groups claiming to belong to the Islamic State, causing a massive displacement of nearly 700 000 people.
In June 2021, SI established its coordination base in Pemba and an operational base in Mueda. In 2022, another operational base will be opened in Palma. SI has now a full team in place both at base and coordination level. In total, the mission counts 19 expatriates and 72 national staffs for a global budget of around 4,200,000 EUR which will grow in the coming months.
