1. Executive Summary
The Humanitarian Country Team Inter-Agency Contingency Plan was developed as a result of wide-ranging consultations, a stakeholder workshop and Cluster meetings aimed at increasing awareness, preparedness and effective response whenever emergencies strike in Mozambique.
The overall goal of the Inter-agency Contingency Plan (IACP) is to support the Government of Mozambique in mounting a timely, consistent and coordinated response to minimise the humanitarian consequences of disasters on the Mozambican population.
This Plan was elaborated in coordination with the National Disaster Management Institute (INGC) and considers four main contingencies for Mozambique: floods, droughts, cyclones and earthquakes, as per the Government of Mozambique’s Contingency Plan. It focuses on strengthening coordination between humanitarian actors for emergency preparedness and response at national, provincial, district and community levels in the face of these types of natural disasters, while upholding the rights of affected populations. The Plan includes a profile of frequently occurring natural disasters, the districts most vulnerable to each and the priority needs of the population threatened in the event of a flood, drought, cyclone or drought situation.
Importantly, the Inter-agency Contingency Plan is based on lessons learned from previous emergencies, particularly the 2007 Zambezi floods and Cyclone Favio responses and is aligned to the IASC Inter-Agency Contingency Planning Guidelines for Humanitarian Assistance. In order to ensure more effective and coordinated support to the Mozambican government for emergency preparedness and response, the IACP outlines the key structures and mechanisms within the Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team, within the national institutions mandated with disaster management and between the HCT and government structures. The activities described in the IACP will be implemented in support of the INGC and the line ministries[1] that comprise the Technical Council for Disaster Management (CTGC).
Specific Cluster planning and capacities are described in the Sectoral Plans presented in Section 9 and will be carried out by the Cluster members, in coordination with the wider Humanitarian Country Team. The Humanitarian Cluster approach as implemented in the 2007 emergencies was proven to enhance humanitarian response, preventing duplication of activities and facilitating joint resource mobilisation efforts, and ultimately ensuring that the needs of the affected populations were met. The Sectoral Plans thus provide the roadmap through which future collaborative humanitarian action will be carried out.
The Humanitarian Country Team Inter-Agency Contingency Plan, which will be updated twice annually, will be shared with all stakeholders at different levels to ensure that when emergencies occur there will be more coordinated and effective humanitarian assistance provided to the affected populations. This will reinforce comprehensive coordination mechanisms in support of the Government (INGC), ensure timely response and accountability and will be based on consensus built through commonly agreed Cluster objectives amongst the UN agencies and national and international NGO partners that compose the Humanitarian Country Team in Mozambique.
2. Introduction
Mozambique is prone to a wide range of natural disasters, which regularly cause major damage and set back economic growth in the disaster affected areas. The country has a land surface of about 799,380 km² and a total population of 20.1 million inhabitants of which 51.9 per cent are female. The population is dispersed over 10 provinces, 128 districts, 394 administrative posts, 1,072 localities and 10,025 villages. Natural disasters have long-lasting consequences due to the high level of vulnerability of the population further exacerbated by the debilitating HIV/AIDS pandemic, which has a national prevalence rate of 16% (MISAU, 2007).
A look at the record of natural disasters in Mozambique shows that the country is recurrently hit by droughts, floods and cyclones. Meteorological records show that flooding usually occurs during the rainy season between the months of October and April, with some slight variations across the country, affecting principally river valleys and low-lying areas where drainage systems are weak or do not exist. Records of cyclones, dating back to 1946, show that they mostly form between the months of October and April, mainly affecting the coastline of Mozambique but occasionally moving inland. Historical references to drought reveal that the country habitually suffers from extremely dry conditions approximately every ten years, mostly affecting inland areas.
High levels of vulnerability and susceptibility to climate changes has tremendous impact on Mozambique’s people, livestock, property, natural resources and physical infrastructure. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is seen as an emerging disaster with a very slow onset and significant impact that is expected to continue for years and cannot be mitigated against through short-term interventions. In addition, about 36.2 %[2] of the population lives below the poverty line and survives on an estimated average of 1 USD per day. Natural disasters in Mozambique remain a key obstacle to sustainable development and the achievement of the Millennium Developmental Goals (MDGs). As a result, the Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) has developed this Inter-Agency Contingency Plan which takes into account the country’s propensity for rapid and slow on-set natural disasters, and addresses preparedness and response efforts for 2008 based on (i) the experiences and lessons learned from the 2007 Zambezi River Basin Floods and Cyclone Favio emergencies; (ii) the framework of the Humanitarian Country Team and the Mozambique Clusters and their coordination with the Mozambican government’s disaster management structures.
To enhance the quality of response during emergencies, the wider international humanitarian community in Mozambique under the leadership of the United Nations Resident Coordinator (RC) who acts as Humanitarian Coordinator during emergencies, decided to apply the Cluster Approach in early 2007, as a framework to complement and support the Government’s emergency response efforts. The Government of Mozambique leads the emergency preparedness and response process through coordination by the National Disaster Management Institute (INGC) which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of State Administration and with the support of line ministries at national, provincial and district levels. Improved coordination between the nine clusters created in the Mozambique context and the Government’s sectoral working groups created in the national and regional Emergency Operations Centres (CENOEs), will contribute to a more coordinated, timely and predictable approach to humanitarian response in 2008 and beyond. The Clusters have also been actively supporting national emergency preparedness efforts in the lead-up to the 2007 rainy season.
3. Context Analysis and Risk Assessment
The National Meteorological Institute of Mozambique (INAM) held its annual briefing on SARCOF weather predictions for the 2007/2008 rainy in September 2007. The outlook for Mozambique forecasts near-normal to above-normal rainfall for Mozambique during the entire season (October 2007 – March 2008).
For the first half of the season (October-December 2007), the country has increased chances of normal to above-normal rainfall. For the second half of the season (January-March 2008), most of the Central region and all of the Northern region has an increased probability of above-normal rainfall, while the Southern part of the country has an increased probability of near-normal to above-normal rainfall tendencies (Figure 1).
Figure 1 - The numbers for each zone indicate the probabilities of rainfall in each of the three categories: below-normal, normal and above-normal. The top number indicates the probability of above-normal rainfall, the middle number is for normal rainfall, and the bottom number is for below-normal rainfall
Forecast for January-March 2008

Although cyclones are difficult to predict, according to the South African Weather Services, the cyclone outlook for 2008 predicts that there is a 95% probability of above normal number of cyclones over the period November 2007 to April 2008 which could impact the Southern Africa region. (On average there are about 10 cyclones per year in the Indian Ocean area).
4. Contingencies (floods, cyclones, earthquakes and drought)
Floods:
Flooding scenarios in Mozambique have demonstrated a relatively well defined pattern with regard to their timing and geographic locations, occurring every two to three years along the seven major rivers that cross the country namely the Incomati, Limpopo, Save, Búzi, Pungué, Zambezi and Licungo rivers. The extent of flooding depends not only on the amount of rainfall in the country but also on the amount of rainfall in neighbouring countries where these rivers originate. In 2000/2001, Mozambique experienced its worst flooding in 50 years, affecting a total of 570,000 people.
The most likely time for floods to occur is from November to March in the southern region of the country and from January to April in the central and northern regions, due to heavy rains in Mozambique and/or in the countries upstream. There is also a high probability of flooding following cyclones, increasing in this way food insecurity, disease outbreaks and infrastructure damage displacing large numbers of people and exposing them to the risk of homelessness, water-borne disease and malnutrition. The National Directorate of Water (DNA) monitors the water flows and levels in the main river basins in the country and issues warnings in case of imminent flooding.
Cyclones:
The long coastal area of Mozambique is frequently hit by tropical depressions or cyclones that enter the country from the southwest Indian Ocean. From November to April the provinces most prone to this disaster are Nampula (Angoche), Zambezia (Nicoadala), Sofala (Dondo and Buzi) and Inhambane (Vilankulos and Massinga). Over the period January to March there is an increased risk that cyclones can occur. On 22 February 2007, Mozambique suffered the brunt of Cyclone Favio which made landfall in Vilanculos, in the coastal province of Inhambane. An estimated 180,000 people were affected, essential infrastructure (health centres, schools, houses, etc) were severely damaged and thousands of hectares of crops were destroyed. Monitoring of cyclone activity is carried out by the National Meteorological Institute (INAM) and Mozambique has a flag-based warning system for local communities in the event of approaching cyclones.
Earthquakes:
Mozambique is situated on the southern end of the East African Rift Valley (a 50-60 km wide zone of active volcanic fault lines that extend north-south in eastern Africa for more than 3,000 km from Ethiopia in the north to the Zambezi river in the south), although seismic activities are not frequent in this area. INGC has identified the need to consider earthquake preparedness as a priority for contingency planning since February 2006 when an earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richer Scale struck central Mozambique on Wednesday, February 23, 2006, 220 km SW of Beira, 235 km South of Chimoio and 530 km North of Maputo, injuring 27 people and damaging infrastructure (health centres, schools and houses) in the Espungabera, Beira and Chimoio areas.
To monitor earthquakes, Mozambique has five seismographic stations in Nampula, Tete, Manica, Lichinga and Changalane. The first three stations have lower coverage estimated at approximately 650 km of ray. However, the Humanitarian Country Team monitors seismic activity in Mozambique through international internet websites, such as ; USGS-NEIC Earthquake Data Reports.
Drought:
Mozambique is affected by cyclical droughts which occur every two to three years, although southern Mozambique has experienced drought for five of the last seven years. Droughts are likely to occur, are relatively chronic particularly in southern and central regions of the country and are determined not only by the total amount of rainfall but also by its spatial and temporal distribution. Prolonged dry spells can easily lead to a drought situation particularly in remote areas where agriculture is absolutely dependent on rain fed crops. As a result, vulnerable communities may experience reduced access to water, outbreak of communicable diseases, hunger and eventually malnutrition.
Most households, already vulnerable due to other socio-economic factors including the impact of HIV/AIDS are often too weak to cope with the cumulative shocks caused by droughts. For instance, Mozambique is currently suffering from a severe drought which is forecast to continue until March 2008. Some 520,000 people affected are at risk of food insecurity if agricultural conditions do not improve by the next planting season.

5. Lessons learned from the 2007 Zambezi floods and Cyclone Favio
Localised flooding is common in Mozambique during the southern Africa rainy season. However, the country experienced above average rainfall over the 2006/2007 season which led to severe flooding of the Zambezi River and in turn resulted in the need to dramatically increase discharges from the Cahora Bassa Dam. This flooding affected up to 285,000 people and displaced approximately 163,000 across four central provinces. The INGC issued a Red Alert on 4 February 2007, calling for the immediate evacuation of all low-lying communities in ten districts across these provinces.
On 22 February 2007, Tropical Cyclone Favio struck the coast of Mozambique, generating torrential rains and wind speeds of up to 220 kilometres per hour. Many families in these largely rural and agrarian districts lost their entire principal agricultural season crop, just one month prior to harvest. The cyclone affected an estimated 180,000 people, according to the INGC.
In response to the 2007 flood and cyclone emergencies, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Mozambique officially established a wider Humanitarian Country Team comprising UN and NGO partners, and decided to adopt the Cluster Approach as the framework through which to support the Government of Mozambique in the emergency response. Ten Clusters[3] were assembled and supported the INGC and line ministry partners to ensure that the humanitarian needs of the affected populations were met. The Cluster approach facilitated joint resource mobilisation efforts between the UN agencies and NGO partners (including a joint CERF application) and improved coordination between all humanitarian actors and with the INGC both at central level and in the operational bases established in the affected provinces.
In April 2007, an Inter-Agency Real Time Evaluation (IA-RTE) was commissioned by a group of IASC agencies to assess the effectiveness of the HCT response and its collaboration with the government during the two emergencies. The Real Time Evaluation concluded that the humanitarian response to the floods and cyclone that struck Mozambique in 2007 was successful overall. This was due to effective coordination and preparedness by the Government of Mozambique, the leadership role played by the HCT and the positive impact of the humanitarian reforms, particularly the Cluster Approach. The RTE also presented a set of findings, conclusions and recommendations for the HCT to address when contingency planning for future natural disasters and in order to improve support to the government at the onset of emergencies.
The Cluster Approach
Overall, the Cluster Approach in Mozambique resulted in improved coordination and information sharing, and provided a more coherent link with government. However, some important lessons were learned which need to be addressed in future emergency responses and in the implementation of this Cluster-based Contingency Plan.
Some of the findings of the RTE are more relevant for global-level cluster issues rather than Mozambique specific ones. For example, the evaluation includes recommendations for the IASC including that Cluster terms of reference should be changed so that field presence is a requirement for all cluster leads and that a set of minimum criteria for agencies to act as cluster leads should be established, including funding, and the willingness to commit resources to the cluster lead role.
Furthermore, many of the findings of the evaluation relate to the fact that the Cluster approach was not well understood by partners, including the government, when adopted by the HCT. This was largely due to the need to respond quickly to the Zambezi flood emergency and despite plans to raise awareness of the Cluster approach; events overtook the process of communicating the objectives and modalities of the reformed framework which had been planned. However, the Cluster framework and individual roles and responsibilities have since been discussed in detail in the HCT and Cluster fora, and in a workshop organised for the Humanitarian Country Team which included representation from the INGC and sectoral line ministry counterparts.
Bearing in mind that Cluster-specific lessons learned have been addressed in the individual Sectoral Plans in Section 9, some general findings of the Real Time Evaluation to be considered by all humanitarian partners include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Cluster leadership is quite demanding on agencies, not only in terms of the demands on funding, but also on resources, and the willingness to priorities short-term humanitarian goals over longer term ones and needs to be accounted for in agency planning;
• Surge capacity should include people who can stay in place for at least six weeks and who have appropriate language (Portuguese) skills;
• More clarity is required at the field level on what should be done when a Cluster Lead does not have a presence in a particular area;
• Monitoring of Cluster partners’ activities at field level is critical to ensure that commitments are fulfilled and that there are no gaps in humanitarian response. Limited partner capacity needs to be taken into account when implementing the Clusters Sectoral Plans;
• Reporting through Clusters should be rationalised right from the beginning - consistency in the information needs of the humanitarian partners should be encouraged and standardisation of assessment and monitoring tools between humanitarian partners and with those of the government is essential.
Another key finding of the RTE was that coordination was seen to be better between Clusters at field level than at central level. It was also concluded that the Resident Coordinator played a key role in the response serving as a liaison with government and helping to resolve disputes within Clusters. The coordination section of this IACP (see Section 8), includes the mechanisms identified by the INGC and HCT for ensuring effective coordination between the Clusters and government partners, at central and field level, and takes many of the recommendations related to improved coordination into account.
Emergency Funding Mechanisms
A key lesson learned from the 2007 flood and cyclone emergencies was that without the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) grants it would not have been possible for the humanitarian partners to respond to the floods as they did. The process of submitting the CERF request was a collaborative one and was found to be generally inclusive between the UN and NGO partners. However, flexible funding on the part of many of the UN agencies facilitated the release of programme funds to NGO partners immediately while waiting for the CERF funds. A less successful Flash Appeal was issued by the Humanitarian Country Team a month after the CERF request was submitted. For future emergencies in Mozambique, the HCT will endeavour to ensure the inclusion of more local NGO and Civil Society partners in any initial requests for humanitarian funding and with clearer guidelines for preparing proposals as it was found that local NGOs were constrained in their response by a lack of funding.
6. Scenarios for the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan
Based on the prevailing weather conditions, four scenarios have been developed as possible occurring natural disasters over the 2007/08 season (Table 2). Each disaster is unique and requires different responses. Mozambique’s flood, drought and cyclone prone areas are illustrated in Figure 2.

• 7. Strategies and Objectives
Global Objective
The overall objective of the Humanitarian Country Team Inter-agency Contingency Plan is to support the Government of Mozambique to prepare for and mount a timely, consistent and coordinated response to minimise the humanitarian consequences of disasters on the Mozambican population. Based on agency mandates and international instruments, all of the humanitarian agencies composing the Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team will assist with the provision of aid and assistance in a coordinated manner to save lives of civilians and to provide for the humanitarian needs of the population, while maintaining the rights and dignity of those affected through participatory means.
When the country is not experiencing an active emergency situation, the Mozambique HCT will address vulnerability reduction, disaster preparedness and mitigation issues[5]. A key objective of the HCT will be to update the HCT Inter-agency Contingency Plan every six months.
Strategies
The strategies for achieving this objective are Cluster-specific and therefore, are addressed in more detail in each of the nine Sectoral Plans (see Section 8). The strategies are based on the planning assumptions identified by each Cluster, and lessons learned from the 2007 flood and cyclone emergencies. It should be noted, however, that Gender, HIV/AIDS and Early Recovery are mainstreamed across all of the Clusters’ Sectoral Plans given their importance as cross-cutting themes.
8. Overall management and coordination framework
This section of the Inter-agency Contingency Plan aims at defining the coordination mechanisms of both the Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team and the relevant Government institutions for emergency preparedness and response. Furthermore, it outlines the mechanisms through which the HCT should link to the Government structures to ensure the most effective and efficient means of coordination and information sharing. These mechanisms have been determined on the basis of consultation with the INGC, the Clusters and the UN DMTWG, and lessons learned from the 2007 floods and cyclone emergencies.
1. HCT roles, responsibilities and emergency coordination mechanisms
In early 2007, and in line with UN and humanitarian reforms, the UN Resident Coordinator (RC) convened the Mozambique members of the IASC to establish a Humanitarian Country Team and to formally adopt the cluster approach.
The purpose of the Mozambique HCT is to strengthen inter-agency preparedness and response capacity, and strengthen support to the Government of Mozambique for disaster management. The HCT has a dual function for strategic preparedness policy and coordinating actual response. The Mozambique HCT will also promote the mainstreaming of relevant policies, guidelines and standards adopted by the IASC in humanitarian preparedness and response efforts, especially in the areas of gender, early recovery and HIV/AIDS.
Composition
The Resident Coordinator chairs the Mozambique HCT, which is comprised of all heads of UN agencies present in country and representatives of non-resident UN agencies, who are involved in humanitarian preparedness and response activities, as well as the IASC NGO consortia members in country. To reflect the Global IASC, the IFRC and the Mozambique Red Cross are also invited to participate. The Mozambique HCT is open to bilateral donors interested in participating as observers on a case-by-case basis. Other national organisations are also invited as appropriate.
Management Functions
The Resident Coordinator is responsible for overall coordination of the activities of the Mozambique HCT. He is supported by an HCT secretariat based in the RC’s Office. The Secretariat is responsible for organising meetings, following-up with individual HCT members, and coordinating information sharing between partners and with Government.
It is proposed that the Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team be complemented by efforts at the technical level with a HCT Working Group (HCT-WG). This would replace the current UN Disaster Management Technical Working Group (UNDMTWG) as this consists of UN agencies only and should therefore expand to include the international and national NGO partners who are members of the HCT. The HCT-WG will be chaired by the WFP Representative (who was chair of the UNDMTWG) and will continue to meet every month. It will serve as a forum for inter-agency UN and NGO deliberations on disaster vulnerability reduction and preparedness, mitigation and response issues.
Management of sector specific issues takes place through the Mozambique Clusters which continue to operate actively since the emergency response in early 2007 and on on-going recovery and resettlement processes. When not in active emergency response mode, the Clusters have been focusing on vulnerability reduction, early warning, disaster risk reduction, preparedness and contingency planning with their respective Government counterparts.
Relationships and Working Modalities
The Resident Coordinator is the main liaison between the Mozambique HCT and the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator and oversees the implementation of the Cluster Approach in Mozambique. While Cluster Leads report to the RC through the Mozambique HCT on issues related to the Cluster Approach, they maintain at the same time their normal reporting lines insofar as their own agencies’ activities are concerned.
Working Modalities: In the absence of an emergency situation, the Mozambique HCT will meet monthly during the rainy season that runs from November to April, and quarterly the rest of the year in June and September. In the event of an active emergency response, the Mozambique HCT will meet as often as required.
Clusters prepare periodic updates on emergency preparedness and response developments to the Mozambique HCT, and hold periodic consultations as required in the absence of an emergency situation. During the rainy season from November to April, or in the event of an active emergency response, Cluster Leads will determine the frequency of meetings required based on preparedness needs and developments in the emergency situation.
Objectives of the HCT and the Mozambique Clusters
Preparedness Objectives
The Mozambique HCT will work with the Government of Mozambique, through the CENOE/CTGC Working Groups and interaction with corresponding line-ministries to:
➢ Exchange information on vulnerability reduction, disaster preparedness, mitigation and response leading to improved early warning and risk reduction efforts;
➢ Develop and strengthen national and sector-specific information sharing, emergency preparedness planning, assessment, monitoring and evaluation tools; and
➢ Ensure that the HCT IACP is in line with national and sector specific preparedness and contingency plans.
Response Objectives
The key objective of the HCT in an active emergency response period is to support the emergency coordination and response efforts of the Government of Mozambique, through close collaboration with the INGC. The HCT will help ensure timely, predictable and effective response to emergency situations in Mozambique based on the HCT IACP, national and sector specific preparedness and contingency plans, and the specific demands presented by each emergency situation. This will be achieved through the coordination of the Mozambique Clusters by the Resident Coordinator in consultation with the HCT, and in conjunction with the declaration of an INGC preparedness Red Alert and/or the reactivation of the CENOE.
The Mozambique HCT and its Clusters will also work to reinforce the capacity of Government counterparts for information sharing, assessment, monitoring and evaluation in emergency situations.
2. Mozambican coordination mechanisms, responsibilities and activities[6]
Disaster Management Coordinating Council (CCGC) and Disaster Management Technical Council (CTGC)[7]
The Coordination Council for Disaster Management (CCGC) was established through a Cabinet Decree 38/99 on the 10th of June 1999. The CCGC is an organ of the Mozambican Prime Minister’s Cabinet and is the highest coordination body for disaster risk management in the country. The primary objective of the CCGC is to ensure multi-sectoral coordination for disaster prevention, assistance to victims and rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure.
Importantly, as the CCGC is a political decision-making organ, it is advised by the Technical Council for Disaster Management (CTGC), which is comprised of technical staff from the relevant departments of the different Ministries represented in the CCGC. In general, the CTGC meets weekly at central level.
National Disaster Management Institute (INGC)
The INGC is a public institution endowed with legal and administrative autonomy. Its mandate is to direct and coordinate disaster management at the national level, particularly concerning prevention and mitigation activities, as well as assisting disaster victims during an emergency response. The Institute is under the Ministry of State and Administration, has delegations in each province, and works under the guidance of a director and deputy-director nominated by the Minister of State Administration. It coordinates the CTGC at both central and provincial levels.
The INGC’s general competencies are related to prevention, emergency response and recovery/rehabilitation. More specifically on emergency response, INGC has the responsibility to:
• Ensure the proper functioning of the emergency operation centres both at central and local levels, as well as the active involvement of civil society, concerned governmental sectors and the international humanitarian community;
• Manage and coordinate all humanitarian assistance activities directed to affected communities and concerned local authorities, and coordinate the support of competent organisations (such as NGOs, UN Agencies, etc) for fulfilling this objective.
At the provincial level, a similar disaster management organisational structure is replicated. There are INGC delegations in all Mozambican provinces. Each one is headed by a Delegate nominated by the INGC Director. A provincial technical council for disaster management is also in place, with representatives from all concerned government sectors, other stakeholders from civil society (religious leaders, NGOs, etc) and the media (provincial and community radio, television, etc).
Since the 2000 floods, INGC has coordinated the preparation of Contingency plans with national and local institutions in order to delineate strategies to cope with three types of disaster: floods, droughts and cyclones. Plans are developed based on assessments made at community, district and provincial levels, as well as from contributions gathered during regional seminars. The main objectives of these Contingency Plans are:
• To locate risk areas and prepare operational early warning systems;
• To perform inventories of supplies and pre-position existing means;
• To determine additional resources needed for response and mitigation.
The plans are also meant to provide meteorological information based on the Southern Africa Regional Climate Outlook Forum (SARCOF), as well as indications of the hydrological situation at national level. In addition, relevant Ministries provide information concerning their respective sectoral needs and activities.
National Emergency Operation Centre – CENOE
The National Emergency Operations Centre (CENOE) is a multi-institutional and multi-sectoral coordination structure established by the Government of Mozambique to coordinate national and international efforts for a rapid, efficient and effective response to any disaster or threat from natural hazards.
Under the leadership of the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) and its Director, the objectives of the CENOE are:
• To collect from the different national and international bodies all relevant information about possible or current emergency conditions and to centralise them in order to provide support to the President of the Republic and the Council of Ministers for the declaration of emergency conditions;
• To coordinate, upon delegation by the President of the Republic, the efforts of the different country administrations and international bodies;
• To provide all of the stakeholders involved in the prevention, mitigation and hazard response with guiding instruments, procedures, tasks and actions for technical and scientific monitoring, broadcasting warnings, control of operations and the activation and deactivation of the emergency operations.
Functioning of the CENOE, including protocols and procedures for activation/deactivation and warnings are presented in the document entitled “Proposta para estabelecimento e funcionamento do Centro Nacional Operativo de Emergência”.
The operations and support function of the CENOE is implemented through a sectoral approach, with the following four sectors or working groups:
|Sector I – Planning and Information |Sector II – Communication |
|Planning |Maintenance of Equipment |
|Information |INGC Internet Website |
|Resources |Social Communication |
|Sector III - Infrastructure |Sector IV – Social Services |
|Transport |Attention to the population |
|Public Works and Engineering |Medical and Health Services |
|Energy |Food |
| |Volunteers |
The CENOE counts on a permanent system of duty officers, operating 24 hours per day during the year. They collect and process information[8] about potential threats and they monitor natural phenomena. Partial or full activation of the CENOE is based on an “institutional” warning system. Once the CENOE is activated, focal points from various ministries will be called in and will act as “operation” officers, with responsibility to liaise with their respective ministers/institutions.
The Civil Protection National Unit or UNAPROC is the operational armed of CENOE and is deployed for search and rescue operations.
3. Emergency coordination mechanisms between HCT and GOM
The organigram on page 22 summarizes the proposed links and coordination arrangements between the Humanitarian Country Team and the Mozambican Government’s emergency management mechanisms described above. Based on the guiding principles and structures presented and on lessons learned from previous emergencies, it was suggested that the HCT continue to coordinate the efforts of the humanitarian community through the Cluster approach, instead of having many UN agencies, NGO and international partners attending CENOE/CTGC meetings and participating in national working groups.
Therefore, the clusters will endeavour to integrate into the four working groups of the CENOE. The Cluster Lead or Co-Leads and a deputy (preferably one UN agency and one NGO Cluster Partner) will be designated to attend INGC Working Group meetings - representing the other Cluster partners, contributing Cluster inputs to the National preparedness and response process, and feeding back to the Clusters the developments and decisions made with regard to emergency preparedness and response within the CENOE Working Groups and the wider INGC.
In the absence of an active emergency, Cluster Leads and designated NGO Cluster partners will be an integral part of the CTGC Working Groups; the frequency of Working Group meetings will be determined with the INGC. Cluster participants in the Working Groups are expected to provide written updates to the rest of their Cluster partners and the Mozambique HCT. In an active emergency response period, the Clusters will work in conjunction with the CENOE Working Groups through the representation of Cluster Leads and designated NGO Cluster members; Cluster representatives will attend INGC/CENOE working Group meetings as required, and will keep Cluster partners and the Mozambique HCT apprised of developments.

Nutrition
Overall Objective
The overall goal is to provide access to essential and quality nutritional services to emergency affected populations, with special attention paid to vulnerable groups.
Specific objectives
• To ensure the nutrition sector has set up mechanisms to adequately respond to emergencies.
• To provide access to nutrition services to 100% of vulnerable groups.
• To ensure adequate monitoring of the nutritional situation in the emergency-affected areas.
Planning Assumptions
• The Government will take the lead using existing structures, in collaboration with all stakeholders.
• It will be possible to mobilise the necessary resources quickly;
• Supplies, either pre-positioned or already present in the area, will be quickly made available;
• Rapid field assessments and existing data will assist in building an up-to-date picture of the situation.
Requirements
1. Rapid field assessments should provide some initial data. A formal nutrition survey may be required, although its need will be established according to various criteria. The analysis of the compilation of already available and freshly generated information should guide the interventions.
2. In areas without a selective feeding programme already underway, the programme may be set up, as appropriate.
3. A referral system for severely malnourished children to district hospitals should be ensured.
4. Nutrition education activities (IYCF, feeding habits, food preparation and storage, etc.), would need to be strengthened.

Water Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
Overall Objective
To ensure the provision of safe water and proper sanitation taking into account the privacy, dignity and security of women and girls.
Specific objectives
• To reduce the transmission of diseases from faeces to mouth through the promotion of good hygiene practices, the provision of safe drinking water and the reduction of health risks related to poor sanitation.
Planning Assumptions
Safe water supply facilities will be damaged and/or not available due to the emergency situation exposing people more susceptible to illness and death from diseases caused by lack of sanitation, inadequate water supply and hygiene. In response to the situation, there will be a need to:
• Restore water supply ensuring the availability of minimum safe drinking water supplies;
• Trucking of water;
• Providing technical expertise to ensure rapid response taking into account the minimum standards and policy guidelines;
• Providing supplies for water treatment, storage and distribution;
• Making available latrines and sanitation services;
• Preparing and disseminating information on hygiene, safe water and sanitation;
• Monitoring and coordination of the WASH emergency interventions.
Requirements
1. A rapid assessment of water supply, sanitation and hygiene conditions in disaster-affected areas is required to assess needs and ensure that lives are saved, the availability of drinking water and basic hygiene conditions. Assessments should also include details on accessibility, numbers of population affected, disaggregated by gender and the capacity of local WES authorities and partners to respond to the situation.
2. Based on the results of the assessment, and in coordination with MOPH, develop an initial response plan (48 – 72 hours response) with supplies required and distribution plan, appropriate alternatives for minimum water supply, safe excreta and solid disposal.
3. Determine the capacity of the WASH Cluster partners to support MOPH to respond to the water supply, sanitation and hygiene needs identified and conduct a mapping of WASH Cluster partners according to their human and technical capacities to ensure full geographical coverage of WASH assistance in disaster-affected areas. Ensure that all partners use WASH emergency response guidelines including priority action checklist from the WASH EPRP.
4. Conduct a detailed assessment (for a two week response) including evaluation of WES resources available; develop a response plan that could include the repair of existing water systems/points in the accommodation centres.
5. Ensure continuous monitoring of the WASH situation including disease surveillance in collaboration with Health Cluster partners. Ensure that adequate coordination mechanisms are in place including a system for timely information sharing.
6. After the emergency response, undertake an assessment of the WASH situation for reconstruction requirements or other needs, particularly construction of new water supply facilities and assistance of resettled households for construction of HH latrines.

Protection
Overall Objective
The overall goal is to provide protection from discrimination, neglect, exploitation, violence and abuse to the most vulnerable groups affected by the humanitarian crisis.
Specific objectives
• Assist in the prevention of the unintended separation of family members from another, and facilitate the identification, registration and medical screening of separated children, particularly those under 5 years of age and adolescent girls.
• Ensure that family-tracing systems are implemented with appropriate care and protection facilities and prevent sexual abuse and exploitation of children and women by: (i) monitoring, reporting and advocating against instances of sexual violence by military forces, state actors, armed groups and others (ii) provide post-rape treatment and psychosocial care and support.
Planning Assumptions
• In an emergency, children may become separated from their families and vulnerable groups may face increased discrimination, neglect, exploitation, violence and abuse;
• No infrastructure will be available;
• The Government will take the lead using existing community structures, in identifying Orphaned and Vulnerable Children and other vulnerable groups requiring specific care and support;
• It will be possible to mobilise the necessary resources quickly;
• Distribution of any non-food items for vulnerable groups will be done in temporary shelters where the people will be re-located.
Requirements
1. A rapid survey to establish any protection violations and the degree of vulnerability of the already most vulnerable groups in the context of the new crisis. This survey will then inform the precise nature of ensuing interventions. This should be in collaboration with MMAS and MINT.
2. In the event of sudden internal displacement, a system that will trace missing people, especially children and that will ensure immediate reunification with family/community members or an intermediate solution providing the necessary care and support. This should be in collaboration with MMAS and MINT.
3. Ensure that affected populations are aware of the increased risks of sexual exploitation and abuse in the context of an emergency and put in place additional mechanisms (eg mobile police brigades, community referral systems) to prevent such cases and respond to them when they do occur. This should be in collaboration with MMAS and MINT.

Requirements
1. A rapid assessment of schools in disaster-affected areas is required to assess the level of destruction of classrooms and equipment, and loss or damage to textbooks and other education materials. Establish whether schools are being used to house displaced communities. Assessment should also include details on accessibility, numbers of teachers and learners affected and capacity of local education authorities to respond.
2. Based on the results of the assessment develop an initial response plan with distribution plan of materials and supplies required (school tents, learning and play materials, textbooks), human resources and other needs, in coordination with MEC.
3. Determine the capacity of the Education Cluster partners to support MEC to respond to the education needs identified and assign member organisations based on capacity and geographical coverage. Ensure that all partners use education emergency response checklist from Education EPRP.
4. Ensure continuous monitoring of affected schools and attendance of learners and teachers. Share information from assessments with MEC and Education Cluster partners.

Overall Objective
The overall goal is to reduce the vulnerability of the population affected by disasters by strengthening the response capacities of the Ministry of Health and its partners.
Specific objectives
• To strength the disease surveillance system, early warning and outbreak and other health risks responses;
• To develop access to essential health services including immunisation, HIV/AIDS control programmes, communicable and non-communicable diseases and mental health;
• To monitor and report the health sector’s actions and needs,
• To strengthen the capacity of national partners (MoH and National NGOs) and other partners.
Planning Assumptions
• Temporary health facilities will be located close to where the accommodation camps are set up;
• Temporary health facilities will need to be established for displaced communities;
• The Government will pre-position medicine in natural disaster risk zones.
• It will be possible to access emergency funds quickly;
• There will be allocated space for the transport of medication in UN transport means;
• Health facilities and equipment will be damaged or inaccessible due to the disaster;

Emergency Telecommunications
Overall Objective
The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) will provide clearly defined services to ensure timely, predictable, and effective inter-agency telecommunications to support humanitarian operations (Clusters and other humanitarian partners) and to ensure personal security from the onset of the emergency.
Specific objectives
• Providing inter-agency telecommunications infrastructure and services, covering both data and security communications, which are essential for the efficient and effective operations of the humanitarian community, as per section A;
• Providing basic data services in emergency affected areas, as per section B;
• Providing standard, interoperable ICT platforms and procedures to avoid duplication and ensure cost effective services;
• Ensuring a smooth transition to the post-emergency reconstruction phase.
A. Security Communications (WFP)
These services aim to provide a reliable common telecommunications backbone for UN agencies and Cluster partners, to facilitate common security support measures, and they include but are not limited to:
• Provision of HF/VHF network coverage in every common operational area, as per established requirements, for the humanitarian community;
• Deployment of a MOSS compliant radio backbone/infrastructure and 24/7 capable radio-rooms in all operational areas operating as per MOSS standards, including recruitment, training and management of the necessary radio operators;
• Frequency, call-sign and sel-calls coordination and management services;
• Liaison with government authorities on behalf of the ICT humanitarian community for security telecommunications purposes (licensing, equipment importation);
• Coordination of the local ET cluster activities and services;
• If and when applicable, the definition and submission for approval of a project document to address identified gaps in the system with a clear budget, fund-raising, regular (at least monthly) project reporting, donor reporting; definition of an exit strategy and hand-over/closure of the services at the end project and final closure reporting;
• Training of radio-operators and users, through a dedicated radio trainer. The training is open for all UN agencies, NGOs and humanitarian partners
• Provision of technical advice to all UN agencies, INGC, NGOs and other humanitarian partners.
B. Data Communications Services (UNICEF)
These services aim to provide common inter-agency data-communications services for the Clusters, INGC, other humanitarian agencies and NGOs in the primary operations site. The services will be provided based on two distinct implementation phases described below:
• Phase One – within the first week of the emergency activation of basic voice, fax and web-based email access by installing portable data satellite terminals.
• Phase Two – within three weeks of the emergency activation of wireless data-connectivity from Internet “hot spots” using portable high-speed data satellite terminals (VSATs) or through local broadband links if available.
• Training of users (UN, NGOs, other humanitarian partners) on IT systems deployed to the operational area through national IT assistants.
Planning Assumptions
• No infrastructure will be available due to the damage, non-existence or overloaded communications channels;
• It will be possible to mobilise the necessary resources quickly;
• Importation of the equipment into the country might be delayed;
• INGC will ask for additional assistance to support its communication system;
• Roads in affected areas might be destroyed which will make it more difficult for bulky equipment (generators, masts) to be deployed.

The Early Recovery Cluster has since been disbanded as it was seen to be a cross-cutting issue to be addressed by all of the other clusters.
