OVERVIEW
Displaced families in Mozambique’s Zambezia Province continue to search for stability after severe flooding in early 2015 caused mass evacuations in low-lying areas of the region. After coordinating initial relief operations, the Government of Mozambique has shifted its focus to the recovery phase of the emergency through the development of relocation communities housing internally displaced persons (IDP) throughout the province.
In order to support these ongoing efforts, IOM has worked in close collaboration with the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) and partners Concern, Welthungerhilfe and World Vision to implement the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in the most affected districts of Zambezia Province. The DTM is a data collection system that provides timely information to the government and humanitarian partners on the current displaced population and the present situation within relocation sites.
The final round of multi-sectoral site assessments was completed in 48 relocation sites within the districts of Maganja da Costa, Mocuba, Mopeia, Morrumbala, Namacurra, Nicoadala and Pebane. The assessments followed a door-to-door registration campaign conducted in late May that enabled the collection of up-to-date demographic information included in this report. A final report on the findings of the DTM will be released at the end of July.
