Mozambique: Key Lessons Short Term Pillar 1: Contingency Plan Risky and Right Decisions Decentralization, Coordination and involvement On event training (preparedness due to vulnerability) Learning with past experiences Government/Partners Commitment Poverty alleviation and Development programme shall include Disaster Issues Medium/Long Term Pillar2: Master Plan/PARPA/MDG)
Mozambique: Weakness 1. 75% of population based on agriculture activity 2. Agricultuture economy ( 23% in the GDP, 2005) 3. Percapita income of U$230 (UNDP, 2003) 4. Vulnerable infrastructures: Roads, water supply system, houses, lack of human resources 5. Law Financial Capacity and High dependency on financial support 6. Intervention of many agencies
Recommendations Approval of National Disaster Act (draft available) Consolidation of Planning and coordination role Resource mobilization Proceeding with the Decentralization process ongoing (Strengthening government sectors) Continuation on establishment of early warning systems Rehabilitation and Construction of Infrastructures for drought and flood mitigation Establishment of Strategic stock for food security Reforestation
