Description:
May 2019 - On April 24, 2019, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique causing substantial damage to homes, infrastructure and crops. Tens of thousands of people were displaced from their homes and up to an estimated 380,000 are in need of humanitarian assistance as a result of the cyclone.
With GAC support, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by Cyclone Kenneth in multiple sectors in Mozambique. This assistance includes protection, shelter, emergency non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health, and camp coordination and management. With the support of Canada and other donors, IOM is also facilitating access to essential relief items and adequate living conditions for crisis-affected populations.
Project activities include: (1) providing emergency shelter and non-food items to households displaced by the Cyclone impact; (2) coordinating camp management for internally displaced people; (3) provision of adequate sanitation facilities and safe water through trucking and/or rehabilitation of damaged water points; (4) data collection, including mapping of populations that face increased vulnerabilities for enhanced targeting and delivery of assistance; (5) providing transportation and other support to improve access to healthcare facilities to increase access to medical care for the most vulnerable; and (6) protection and gender mainstreaming across activities with provision for extremely vulnerable individuals including women and children.
