Following the severe impact of Cyclone Idai on the Central Region of Mozambique 2019, resettlement sites were established in view of eventual durable solutions. As per the latest DTM report, currently around 97,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) live across 73 sites in Central Mozambique. However, the conditions for durable solutions as set out in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons have not yet been met in most cases – 89% of the IDPs are still living in emergency or temporary shelters. In light of the above, the risks of further forced migration and vulnerability inherent within the situation, and at the request of the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD), this project seeks to ensure that displacement management in Mozambique shifts towards an integrated durable solutions approach, taking whole-of-society and evidence-based considerations into account moving forward. The project takes a three-pronged approach to improving displacement management. First, a Steering Committee will be established in a key target district, which will increase stakeholders' capacities and knowledge on implementing Durable Solutions (Outcome 1). This will help to coordinate and facilitate efforts on Durable Solutions in line with the recommendation of ‘local solutions for local problems’. Second, based on community identified needs, IOM will support infrastructure and a platform to improve community participation in decision making (Outcome 2). Community engagement and ensuring the people benefitting are part of their Durable Solutions is a key component for sustainability and ownership of solutions. Finally, to ensure evidence based programming and leveraging on past and ongoing Durable Solutions activities in Central Mozambique, IOM will conduct a first progress report against the eight indicators for Durable Solutions as set by the IASC, in resettlement sites in Sofala and Manica. This will provide a baseline and support longitudinal evidence to measure progress towards achieving Durable Solutions and expanding the programming for the Central Region (Outcome 3).
