In recent years, Mozambique has faced numerous crises, including escalating conflict, cyclones, and tropical storms. These challenges have significantly increased the population's vulnerability and overwhelmed local response capacities. While the Shelter/NFI Cluster initiated various response efforts, these were often hindered by severe underfunding and limited resources.
Drawing on IOM’s extensive experience managing the Shelter/NFI Common Pipeline in countries such as South Sudan, Nepal, and Haiti, efforts in Mozambique were strengthened to improve in-country preparedness. The existing Shelter/NFI Common Pipeline, established after Cyclone Kenneth, was upgraded to an online system in August 2021.
The system is hosted and overseen by IOM headquarters, with individual country pages managed by designated local administrators. Access to the platform and the ability to submit requests is restricted to registered and approved partners. A total of 12 Partners have access to Shelter/NFI Common Pipeline of which 4 are local NGOs.
