Mozambique
Acted began its operations in Mozambique during 2022, in response to the humanitarian crisis in Cabo Delgado province, in the north of the country.
Since then, Acted provides critical assistance to conflict-affected and disaster-affected communities, delivering multi-sector responses, with programs that look beyond the immediate emergency, towards opportunities for longer-term livelihood reconstruction, skills trainings and sustainable development.
In Mozambique, Acted deploys an area-based approach comprehensively supporting communities, Government Structures and Civil Society Organizations, to develop long-term resilience and ultimately self-reliance.

Since 2017, the combined effects of conflict, climate and economic shocks have disrupted lives and livelihoods in the north-east of Cabo Delgado. The presence of non-state armed groups (NSAG) in the province has led to a major humanitarian crisis, causing the displacement of around one million individuals. IOM estimated 580,000 people remain displaced at the end of 2024
The prolonged displacement has eroded the income and resilience of the communities, leaving over 92% of households in need of humanitarian assistance, including 1.3 million individuals in Cabo Delgado only, as registered by REACH Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment in 2024.
At present, the humanitarian outlook remains tenuous, due to a sharp deterioration in the security situation and an increase in NSAG activities, since January 2024. Consequently, around 870.000 individuals in IPC 3 and IPC 4 level of Food Insecurity have been identified in the province, for the Humanitarian Needs & Response Plan 2025.
