CCCM Cluster Mozambique – Ancuabe Situation Update, June 2022

9:00 CAT | 06 Jul 2022

Number of households arrival by district.

Recent attacks in Cabo Delgado’s Ancuabe district, as well as fears of attacks by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG), have resulted in a new wave of forced displacement from communities and IDP sites in Ancuabe and neighbouring districts.

Between June 1 and June 30, an estimated 6,403 households were affected by these attacks in 29 sites, namely (Nanjua A, Cujupane, Megaruma, Marrupa, Ocua, Chiure Velho, Nacivare, Meculane, Catapua, Ntocota, Ngalane, Nacuta, Nangua 2, Tratara, Unidade, Manono, Mieze, Nacopo, Merige, Nacate, Ncoripo, Campona, Marcune, Massingir, Nicuapa, Ntele, Napai, Matuto and Corrane).

The majority of newly displaced people, 60.4 %, were received in IDP sites and communities in Metuge district, 18.8 % in Chiure district, 16.4 % in Montepuez district, 4.1% in Ancuabe district, and less than one percent in Meconta district in Nampula province. Although the government and humanitarian actors have assisted these populations and plan to provide additional assistance, shelter, NFI, hygiene kits, water, access to showers and latrines, and food remain critical needs for new arrivals.

An estimated 33% of the newly arrived population requires shelter assistance, 23% requires food assistance, 13% requires access to water, and the remaining 31% requires access to other needs like latrines and hygiene kits.

Due to the current influx of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across Cabo Delgado province, the government and site service providers have planned 5 sites as transit centers with a capacity of 1,410HH. These are two sites in Metuge (Unidade 2 and Centro de Nacuta) and three in Chiure (Nacivare, Ocua, and Megaruma).

Site service providers are actively involved in site coordination and monitoring. Ongoing activities include tracking and validating new arrivals, identifying available shelters at sites, mapping service provision for visibility impacts and reducing duplication of assistance, and conducting frequent coordination meetings with various stakeholders. Solidarites International is mainly focused on community participation and site development activities, which include the establishment of new distribution points and the consolidation of site governance structures. IOM is focusing on restructuring existing women’s and disability inclusion committees, collecting and consolidating complaint feedback mechanisms, assisting the government in planning potential transit sites by providing flood risk analysis, and assisting in the repair of roads at the Corrane site in Nampula province. AVSI is involved in the relocation of internally displaced people as well as the clearing of roads and public areas on the sites.
