Mozambique faces multiple shocks, including the conflict in Northern Mozambique, frequent natural hazards and disease outbreaks. Cabo Delgado Province, already one of the most vulnerable and poverty-stricken provinces of Mozambique, has been affected since late 2017 by armed conflict perpetrated by Non-state armed groups which has continued to destabilize pockets of territory, generating new waves of displacement and constantly undermining the provision of humanitarian assistance.

The country strategy represents well the expertise of ACF, with all programmatic sectors implemented, with both humanitarian and nexus/development approaches.
