About the mission
Solidarités International intervened in Mozambique in March 2019 for a few months following the passage of Cyclone Idai, which hit the Province of Sofala and the city of Beira hard. Operations were suspended after the emergency phase and the mission closed. The evolution of the situation in Cabo Delgado province, hit by several cyclones and severely affected by the violent actions of armed groups claiming to be IS, which caused the displacement of nearly 700 000 people, led to an assessment in May 2021 and to the reopening of the mission. The assessment carried out in the most affected district highlighted needs, particularly in the WASH sector, and the lack of emergency actors. The mission has opened in a complex security and administrative environment, where access is a major issue.
Solidarités International was one of the first INGO actors to respond to the growing crisis in Cabo Delgado, leading emergency response and distributions in hard-to-reach areas.
Solidarités International (SI) is an international non-profit organization that responds globally to natural or man-made disasters with the aim of providing meaningful aid to people in life-threatening situations. In Northern Mozambique SI is at the forefront of humanitarian efforts, providing crucial assistance to populations affected by conflicts, violence, epidemics, natural or climate-related disasters, and economic collapse. Committed to safeguarding lives, SI's dedicated teams address the most vital needs of communities facing threats by delivering essential services such as food, water, sanitation, hygiene, outbreak prevention/control and camp management. As a key actor in emergency response, SI not only distributes immediate aid on the ground but also seeks sustainable, longer-term solutions. This multifaceted approach ensures that affected populations regain access to critical resources in a dignified manner. SI's overarching objectives lie in safeguarding the dignity, and autonomy of the communities it serves. By blending rapid response capabilities with a commitment to build resilience, SI exemplifies its mission to make a positive impact on the challenges brought by crises in Northern Mozambique.
