Mozambique: Drought - ACT: 23-Sep-02
Action by Churches Together (ACT)
Appeal - Mozambique
Assistance to Drought Affected - AFMZ22
Appeal Target: US$ 3,424,153
Geneva, 23 September 2002
ACT members in Mozambique have reported that, according to FAO/WFP reports
and the Mozambique Ministry of Agriculture 515,000 people in 43 different
districts in the provinces of Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Maputo, Sofala, and
Tete, will require food aid from the month of September 2002 to March
2003. The food shortages in the country are a result of severe dry weather
during the 2001/2002 cropping season which sharply reduced crop yields in
the southern and central parts of the country. This comes after
devastating floods in both 2000 and 2001 which affected some of the areas
now facing food shortages. In addition to erratic rainfall, the overall
economy is affected by reduced cash remittances from South Africa,
particularly for households in southern Mozambique. In times of declining
cash remittances, female headed families are unable to hire labour for
cultivation, reducing the area planted and household crop production. In
southern Mozambique, women head up to 60% of the rural households. For
this group, the coming months will be particularly difficult.
Although, Mozambique had an increase of 5% cereal production from 2001 it
still had a food deficit of 642,000mt. It should be noted that the
northern region of the country had an overall surplus of 100,000Mt, but
this could not be transported economically to the south due to long
distances, poor infrastructure, and the proximity of markets to Malawi.
The people in the southern part of the country are becoming increasingly
hungry, and it is reported that some of the affected families are already
resorting to eating wild fruits, seeds, and berries and their nutritional
status is consequently deteriorating rapidly.
ACT Mozambique members, the Christian Council of Mozambique (CCM), the
Lutheran World Federation - Mozambique Program (LWF/WS), the Presbyterian
Church of Mozambique (PCM/IPM), and the Ecumenical Committee for Social
Development (CEDES) are proposing assistance for approximately 178,756
people in the affected provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala,
Manica, and Tete. Assistance comprises: relief food, seeds and tools.

IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER AND PARTNER INFORMATION
ACT Mozambique Network comprising the Lutheran World Federation, Christian
Council of Mozambique, the Presbyterian Church of Mozambique, Ecumenical
Committee for Social Development (CEDES), and Christian Aid is seeking to
provide food aid and much needed seeds to vulnerable communities affected
by the current drought in Mozambique.
Christian Council of Mozambique is a Church based organisation formed in
1948 by the main line churches such as the Methodist, Anglicans and
Presbyterians. Presently it constitutes 24 different denominations both
the main line as well as few of the small denominations including two
Associations (The Bible Society and the Scripture Union).
In 2000 ACT/CCM implemented a relief program that assisted 24,900 families
(approximately 125,000 people) in the Provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane
and Sofala; the four Provinces that were heavily hit by the floods and
cyclones. Later on a follow up program that assisted 1,245 most vulnerable
groups with housing was also carried out and an expanded varied seed
distribution was made in November / December. ACT/CCM works countrywide
with offices in each province and in some districts as well as
administrative posts and localities.
The Lutheran World Federation, a program of the Lutheran World Federation
in Geneva, has been active in Mozambique since 1977. LWF has had a signed
agreement with the Government of Mozambique since 1986. It has always
concerned itself in an operational manner with the plight of displaced
people, refugees and returnees namely through emergency relief and
rehabilitation, capacity and confidence building in development. LWF has
experience in all aspects of assisting people in need regardless of race,
gender, religious belief, nationality, ethnic origin or political
persuasion. The organisation is working towards the establishment of
self-sustaining and independent communities, which participate voluntarily
in the socio-economic and political development of their country.
ACT/LWF responded to the 2000 floods in Gaza, Sofala and Maputo in ACT
Appeal AFMZ01 and has completed its rehabilitation activities. LWF
engaged in a full range of crisis and rehabilitation activities included
food security, temporary and permanent shelter, temporary and permanent
water and sanitation, road, school and health post rehabilitation. More
than 86,000 people were assisted in water activities alone.
The Presbyterian Church of Mozambique (PCM/IPM) was founded at the end of
the 19th century (1887) and has a long historical presence in the province
of Gaza and Maputo. Its local churches, Mission stations and health
clinics place PCM directly within the affected communities. The PCM has
38 parishes, 90 local congregations with a total of 80,000 members, 45
ordained clergy and 25 evangelists.
PCM has been a member church of the Christian Council of Mozambique for 52
years. The relief and development department of the PCM has carried out
numerous relief and development projects.
Ecumenical Committee for Social Development (CEDES) was established in
August 1992 by the Christian Council for Mozambique, Caritas Mozambique
and the Lutheran World Federation as the National Ecumenical Committee for
Rehabilitation Resettlement and Reintegration (RRR). This followed the
signing of the Peace Accord in 1992. In 1996 following consultation with
its founding organisation and international partners the National
Ecumenical Committee for Repatriation, Resettlement and Rehabilitation
(NECRRR) concluded that the need for the return reintegration and
rehabilitation programme had largely been met and the organisation was
transformed into CEDES.
CEDES works in co-operation with CCM, Caritas and LWF, who are represented
on its board. There is co-ordination at local level to prevent duplication
of activities between the church and related organisations. In addition to
its office in Maputo, CEDES has offices in Moamba (Maputo province),
Sofala, Inhambane, Gaza and Niassa provinces.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION
Background
The ACT Mozambique partners have come together to assist close to 178,756
people in an effort to assist communities' hit by the current food
shortages in the country, which is starting to gain momentum. This ACT
response is intended to help the communities cope during the short-term,
but also closely links the assistance to the return to normal
pre-emergency life. ACT Mozambique interventions will focus on six
Provinces: Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala, Manica, and Tete.
The severe dry weather during the 2001/2002 cropping season sharply
reduced crop yields in southern and parts of central Mozambique. This
comes on the heels of devastating floods in both 2000 and 2001 in some of
the same areas. Although national cereal production is up 5% from 2001,
there still remains a deficit of 642,000 Mt. The northern region of the
country had an overall surplus of 100,000 Mt, but this cannot be
transported economically to the south due to long distances, poor
infrastructure, and the proximity of markets in Malawi.
In addition to erratic rainfall, the overall economy is affected by
reduced cash remittances from South Africa, particularly for households in
southern Mozambique. In times of declining cash remittances, families
headed by women are unable to hire labour for cultivation, reducing the
area planted and household crop production. In southern Mozambique, women
head up to 60% of the rural households. For this group, the coming months
will be particularly difficult.
WFP reported on August 2 that it has sufficient cereal stocks to cover 70%
of the needs in Mozambique until the end of September but urgently
requires beans from August onwards. Re-assessments jointly conducted by
the government, WFP, FEWS NET, and other partners are planned within the
next few weeks in order to refine estimates of humanitarian needs in all
relevant sectors.
Current Situation
According to the report produced by the FAO/WFP/Ministry of Agriculture of
Mozambique, 515,000 people, in 43 different districts in the provinces of
Gaza, Inhambane, Manica Maputo, Sofala and Tete, will require food aid as
from September 2002 to March 2003. This figure represents an increase by
160,000 compared to estimated 355,000 that were in need during the period
June to August 2002 and it is also foreseen that the number of needy
people can rise again as a new assessment is taking place right now.
This document also indicates that Gaza and Inhambane are the most affected
representing around 43% of the affected people in the six provinces. For
further details, see the following table that is currently being reviewed:

The highlighted are the districts where the ACT members will operate.
This is a crisis phase response which began in May 2002 and, where the
situation has been slowly deteriorating, especially in the provinces of
Inhambane and Gaza where ACT Mozambique have regular programme activities.
Most of the organisations have been waiting for the UN food assessment
survey carried out by the GoM and the UN. The World Food Programme has
been reporting that the situation will get worse if no help provided in
the coming months.
ACT Mozambique field staff report that household incomes in general have
dropped substantially. There is almost no off-farm income because those
who might normally employ extra labour are themselves without crops to
tend. Nutritional intake is reduced to life-threatening levels with the
obvious consequences for health
Despite the fact that the total cereal production in Mozambique is up by
5%, it must be noted that this production is concentrated mostly in the
northern part of the country, i.e. north of Zambezi River, where the land
is much more fertile and the rains are more regular than in the south. The
indicated deficit is basically in terms of the normal import cereals, that
is: rice and flour mostly for the consumption in the cities, as it is
estimated that the maize part is more than enough for the entire need of
the country.
Considering the road conditions of the country and the capabilities of the
commercialisation system, the transport of the surpluses available in that
area to feed the rest of the country is economically unaffordable. Thus
the only remaining possibility for all the farmers is selling their crops
across the borders in Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe especially now
that some of these countries are facing severe shortage of food. The
process of selling across the border is considered in order to encourage
the peasants to continuously produce and not to slow down because of lack
of market for the surpluses.
Impact on Human Lives
To date the affected families coped first by consuming their stored food
products left from the last successful harvest in 2001, and since then
they have been foraging for wild fruits, seeds, and berries which are of
insufficient quantity and nutritional quality, and are less and less
commonly found.
WFP and the INGC have also been providing some food on food for work
basis, but the scheme seems to be inadequate for such a large number of
people in need. It must be noted as well that the situation in Mozambique
has been and is being monitored carefully and the food for work activities
used as a stabilising measure. The Government intends to continue the
monitoring process.
The Ministry of Health has recently finalised a nutritional assessment in
ten districts (two per province affected by the drought). The districts
were chosen on the basis of the assessment made by FAO/WFP/Ministry of
Agriculture as indicated above and they are the ones with higher ratio of
the drought impact. The report of this assessment is being prepared but
the preliminary results are not encouraging and suggest a further
surveillance in this area.
Taking into consideration the possibility of children failing to attend
school due to hunger, the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with WFP
and UNICEF, have introduced a programme for feeding school going children
at school through small kitchens that provide a meal to each individual
student once a day. The programme is taking place especially in the rural
areas.
Description of Damages
In the provinces located at the south of Save River, namely Maputo, Gaza
and Inhambane, the average annual rainfall ranges between 400 and 1,000mm.
The rainy season started in the first half of October 2001 and then a dry
spell followed which lasted until late November. Another dry spell
occurred in December. From then, a prolonged drought prevailed until the
end of the season. The early planting was virtually lost but later
planting performed relatively better although yields were reduced by the
second dry spell. The outlook for the second season is also poor,
reflecting the lack of rains.
The majority of farming in Mozambique is rain-fed; the most important
planting season is from October - December during the rainy season (which
normally lasts until April the following year). In 2001 in a large part of
the country the rainfall was much lower than average and in many of the
worst affected districts there was very little rainfall after December.
The crops planted in October died, due to the lack of rains and the
affected farmer families lost all their crops. These are subsistence
farmers who depend on their harvest to survive. It is important to stress
that, though there is a lot of fertile land through out the country, its
use is dependent on rainfall.
The following table, taken from the report produced by FAO/WFP/Ministry of
Agriculture in May, indicates what was expected to be agriculture seasons'
production as well as the level of deficit, which is concentrated exactly
around the areas to be covered by this appeal.
As one moves southward, it becomes clear that the shortage of production
is growing significantly and that is why the provinces of Gaza and
Inhambane are the worst of all as indicated under current situation up in
this chapter.

*Total food aid requirements amount to 70 000 tonnes. The difference will
be procured locally.
Keeping in mind the geographical configuration of the country and the road
system, the transport of any surplus from the north to the south where
there is always a deficit of grain production is difficult and,
consequently, more costly. That is why the market within the neighbouring
countries becomes the only alternative. EU has recently announced an
intention of purchasing over 40,000 MT of maize from the north of
Mozambique to supply Malawi.
The Government of Mozambique, for some reason, decided not to declare a
national disaster but recognises the seriousness of the problem and have
commissioned WFP to request food aid to a total of 70,050 MT of food aid
to feed the 515,000 people from June 2002 to March 2003.
Locations of Response by ACT Mozambique Partners
The following chart indicates the areas of response by the ACT members to
be covered by the present appeal. It is important to note that these areas
are the locations where each of the ACT members has its ongoing activities
of various kinds and/or strong presence with basic infrastructures.
It is therefore expected that those programmes will back up the
implementation of the activities viewed in this appeal, including the
preparative measures that may be necessary even before the funds arrive as
long as indication of funding is foreseen.

PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
When the ACT Mozambique group were brainstorming on the possible response
to the crisis, one of the most important issues raised was the relevance
of seeds to support the people who have lost almost all their crops due to
the drought.
The seed package is generally intended to include drought resistant types.
Maize, the traditional crop, is not at all drought resilient, although it
should be noted that the agricultural authorities in Mozambique and in the
region have been putting effort into developing maize seeds that are of
short cycle growth and drought resistant. The sorghum and millet are
drought resistant but their growing period has already been shortened.
This also applies to the cassava and sweet potato seedlings.
The maize seed has been included in the package in consideration for
tradition and lifestyle of the population that cannot be told they have to
give up maize and grow another crop instead. It was decided to introduce
other types of seeds besides maize so that the communities can judge for
themselves the best type of seeds to grow in the future. The Ministry of
Agriculture also agreed that this was a good strategy.
The following charts intend to indicate the total type of assistance per

Implementation Description Per Activity
The registration and distribution are conducted openly and transparently.
If there are allegations of corruption, such as the siphoning off of food
supplies, ACT Mozambique will immediately halt its programme until the
problem is addressed.
Individually ACT Mozambique partners have carried out formal registration
of households receiving food aid and seeds. In some areas lists developed
by local authorities and community generated family lists will be used.
The ACT Mozambique partners have agreed to involve women from various
segments of the population, which it is hoped will improve gender
representation. To meet the huge logistical challenge of delivering
essential assistance to remote areas, a fleet of 19 ACT Mozambique managed
trucks and 6 tractors will be used to deliver food and other emergency
aid. When fully deployed, from August onwards, it will have the capacity
to transport 190 metric tonnes at a time. In addition, the trucks will be
used to support the UN World Food Programme and other agencies responding
to the emergency, thus allowing the relief operation to reach more people
in need. The appeal will also finance improved seed varieties.
Specifically:
ACT/IPM: will distribute relief food and seeds for 2,600 families,
approximately 13,000 beneficiaries in the districts of Moamba, Maputo
province and Manjacaze, Chibuto, Guijá and Xai-Xai, Gaza Province. ACT/IPM
will also be undertaking food for work programmes with WFP in the
provinces of Maputo and Gaza.
ACT/LWF: will assist in providing both logistics and warehouse support to
the ACT Mozambique partners where necessary especially in the Maputo,
Sofala, Tete and Gaza provinces where it has established field offices
with warehouses. One Rub Hall storage tent currently kept in disaster
preparedness stock piles will be erected and made available for partners
to store food/biscuits and seeds in transit to the communities in
Chibabava where all three partners are operating. ACT/LWF will assist in
the distribution of much needed seeds to approximately 17,451 homesteads,
approximately 87,255 beneficiaries in the districts of Northern Chokwe,
Mabalane, and Guijá in Gaza Province and Chibabava in Sofala Province
where it currently runs its regular development programmes. In addition
high energy biscuits (BP5) will be provided in schools through the
LEC-Ligaçao Escola Comunidade (like a parent / teacher association) in
areas located in the drought affected areas. This will be a nutritional
supplement for the 12,000 children. ACT/LWF will also assist ACT/CCM and
ACT/IPM with reaching vulnerable communities with food and seeds in the
districts of Zumbo and Magoe in Tete ( boats will be used to move seeds
and BP5 biscuits across the Zambézia), and logistics, monitoring and
warehousing support in Chibabava, in Sofala Province with CEDES.
ACT/CCM: Is planning to work in the following areas and will provide
12,400 seeds kits to approximately 62,000 people in: Chibuto and
Massangena in Gaza province, Mabote and Govuro in Inhambane province,
Chibabava and Machanga in Sofala Province, Machaze and Tambara in Manica
Province and Magoe and Zumbo in Tete Province. ACT/CCM plans to implement
food aid in Chibuto, Massangena, Govuro and Machanga, with food supplies
from the Canadian Food Grains Bank (CFGB).
It must be noted that due to different project proposal format
requirements and the willingness of the CFGB to provide the whole food
required for its programme as well as significant amounts for the
operation costs, ACT CCM has had to design the food aid appeal completely
outside this one and will hence report separately.
ACT/CEDES: Is targeting 3,300 families, approximately 16,500 people in the
following districts with food aid and seeds: Moamba in Maputo Province,
Massingir and Manjacaze in Gaza province, and Inhassoro and Vilanculo, and
finally in Chibabava, Cheringoma and Maringwe in Sofala Province.
Transition from Emergency
Plans to transit back to the regular programme are difficult because of
the huge food security problems. It is not likely to be a smooth
transition, because the SADC countries meteorological institutes predict a
90% chance for drought the next growing season 2002-2003.
Small irrigation systems are going to be tried out to link this activity
to the food security initiatives in the regular development programmes.
Considering the seriousness of this recurring problem, CCM is willing to
have an experimental phase on construction of small dams in the district
of Massangena. The idea is to provide communities with means to save as
much water as possible during the short rainy season.
CCM is also considering some studies for the use of windmills and solar
panels for power production as well as for water pumping. These are
permanent sources of power and are environmental friendly and of low cost.
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
Management and Finance control
The ACT Mozambique partners have agreed to ensure that there is sufficient
stock of inventory management documentation and forms (waybills, stock
ledgers, reporting forms) at all locations where staff will be involved in
receiving, storing and or dispatching in order to maintain a documented
audit trail of commodity transactions:
ACT/CCM The ACT/CCM General Secretary is the overall responsible for the
ACT/CCM activities countrywide; this includes all the relief, development,
training as well as Justice and Peace. The practical implementation of the
activities in this appeal will be delegated to the ACT/CCM Emergency
Officer based in Maputo with the assistance of the ACT/CCM Regional
Co-ordinator based in Quelimane.
ACT/CCM Administration and Finance will be responsible for overall
financial management of the project accounts and will, disburse the funds
as per the project plans and budgets. The field staff will be required to
submit monthly requests and reports as per the programme plans and needs.
The accountant is responsible for keeping the programmes' records and
produces the necessary monthly financial statements that are then approved
by the ACT/CCM Finances Committee.
ACT/CEDES The Program manager is responsible for the overall
implementation process. He is responsible for taking decisions, visiting
project sites, working as a linking person with local government
institutions and partners, researching the market and producing the
progress and final reports.
Administration and Finance will be responsible for overall financial
management of the project accounts and, will disburse the funds as per the
plans and budgets. They will be responsible for checking that all records
at provincial level adhere to ACT/CEDES financial management and
procedures. Internal audits will be carried out on a monthly basis. The
Administration and Financial Directors will gather information each month
in order to prepare the reports and send to donors.
ACT/IPM The project Director will have overall responsibility for the work
according to the appeal, however he will delegate the execution to the
Programme Manager. The Programme Manager will be involved daily in the
project as his primary task and communicate with all staff in the field
operations. All management staff have many years of experience in relief,
emergency and rehabilitation work.
ACT/IPM has an ACCPAC accounting system with a specific costing module. It
will keep track of each expenditure and provide a detailed audit trail.
The system will compare budget with actual cost and where necessary
provide unit costing for additional cost control. The internal control
document dealing with procurement, accounting, handling cash and checks,
record keeping and storage, physical inventory administration will be
followed. The books are audited by KPMG, an international auditing firm.
ACT/LWF The Representative carries overall responsibility for the
implementation of all project activities within the LWF Mozambique Country
Programme. This includes emergency-related projects and specific
responsibility will be delegated through the Emergency Programme
Co-ordinator to LWF Project Co-ordinators in Gaza,Tete, and Sofala
projects. Ongoing emergency preparedness is the responsibility of the
Projects Co-ordinators.
Distribution will be carried out essentially by temporary clerks and
monitored by ACT/LWF Community development Assistants. For the BP5
high-energy biscuits the local education officers together with the
LEC-Ligaçao Escola Comunidade (parent / teacher association) will monitor
the distribution of biscuits to the school children and reports checked
and verified by ACT/LWF Community development staff.
The Financial Administrator is responsible for overall financial
management of project accounts and disburses funds to projects against
budget plans. The emergency Project Co-ordinator is in charge of the
project implementation. Payments are made at Maputo level in accordance
with agreed budgets and procurements are made in Maputo and Beira. The
Financial Administrator will carry out periodic internal audits. Financial
reports are received periodically from the implementing teams and
consolidated into a monthly financial reports. These are submitted to the
Secretary for Administration and Finance in Geneva. The Finance
Administrator prepares specific donor reports with copies to Geneva. Donor
funds are paid into an LWF/DWS - Mozambique bank account in Geneva and
drawn from by the field office as required.
LWF books are audited by KPMG, an international auditing firm.
Procurement
Act Members have procurement guidelines in place that comply with
non-profit or charitable and church related institution principles. The
Act members will, under the scope of this appeal, try as much as possible,
and where applicable, to procure the commodities jointly in order to gain
on bulk buying process and maintain common time delivery.
Much of the procurement of food, BP5 high-energy biscuits and seeds will
be procured in the region, but will make sure that the type/variety are
those approved by the competent Mozambican Authorities ACT/CEDES may
source some of its seeds from other parts of Mozambique. ACT Mozambique
partners have agreed to procure as much as possible in bulk and
standardise on the seeds kits it will be distributing
Monitoring procedures
ACT Mozambique will focus on assessing and monitoring their assigned
areas. Experienced staff will be used who have been involved in similar
surveys, distribution procedures and monitoring in the past years. The
church leaders as well as the Community Development Committee members at
local level will be used to assist field staff in the monitoring process.
Senior staff members at each individual organisation will pay regular
visits to the field to assist and supervise the work. The visits can as
well be combined, where possible and applicable, to ensure standard
requirements by the ACT partners are in place and/or implemented. Visiting
partners from abroad can be involved in partners monitoring field trips.
Monitoring will be done through sample household visits carried out by
field staff based in the communities in order to collect information
concerning the acceptability of the food delivered. Homestead visits will
also be a way for the ACT implementing partners to identify people who
meet the selection criteria but also who are not receiving food aid.
Since most ACT Mozambique partners work with communities based
organisations/committees, they are able to collect information from all
groups in the affected population in a culturally acceptable manner,
especially with regard to gender and language skills. The ACT Mozambique
partners will strive to ensure that women are fully involved in the
process.
Reporting
Field staff will produce monthly progress reports to the headquarters of
each ACT partner for the sake of management and monitoring control. Each
partner will in its turn produce at least one midterm programme progress
report to be shared widely with the entire alliance.
The Act Mozambique partners will at the end produce a joint narrative
report which will try to, as before, highlight the most important aspects
of the implementation of the programme and draw lessons learnt in order to
avoid repetition of the same mistakes in future similar interventions.
To the narrative report will be attached individual financial statements
and audited statements will be provided individually.
IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE
Applies for all ACT Mozambique partners:
August 2002 - September procurement of food - recruit temporary
distribution clerks and monitors, hold further co-ordination meetings with
WFP, ACT partners, and Government District Authorities.
September 2002 - December Distribution of relief food (most of which will
be procured locally where possible.
August-September - Procurement and sourcing of seeds in the region,
especially drought resistant varieties.
Oct-November 2002 - Distribution of seeds in time for the next planting
season.
December 2002 - March 2003, regular two-weekly distribution of
high-protein biscuits to schools in project areas.
April - May 2003 - Monitor the harvests in the communities supported by
the
Food for work and free food and seed distributions.
CO-ORDINATION
Co-ordination efforts have been put in place to avoid overlapping or
duplication of assistance. As to the food aid the ACT assistance is
primarily directed to the most vulnerable groups.
Between ACT Mozambique partner's co-ordination will take place in regular
meetings at Maputo level as well as at the Provincial and district levels.
Warehouse and trucks will be combined and used together when delivering
food and seeds where possible and joint warehousing of food or seeds will
be co-ordinated in an effort to cut costs and combine efforts.
WFP in Mozambique is playing the lead role in the co-ordination and
mobilisation of food aid and in the primary logistics. WFP is responsible
for all food aid logistics up to the Extended Delivery Point (EDP),
usually this means at the Provincial capitals, close to the affected areas
where the ACT partners will be doing the distributions. ACT Mozambique
partners are currently signing agreements with WFP to assist in the
transportation from the EDPs to the distribution site and distribution to
recipient households. ACT Mozambique will keep both WFP and INGC informed
of food to be provided under this appeal.
The latest mapping of NGO's was done in 2000 by LINK. In light of the food
crisis there is a need to get an overview of which organisations is
working where and in what sectors. The ACT Mozambique partners are
featured in the UNRCO and WFP tables showing who is where. It has been
distributed electronically to all organisations at the meetings.
