To provide support to policy and programme activities that effectively meet food assistance needs. Management of climate risk is critical in Mozambique, given the high level of exposure and vulnerability to climatic shocks of the country. To this end, WFP in Mozambique has been strengthening the integration of innovative disaster risk financing mechanisms in its programming (forecast-based financing and anticipatory actions and macro-insurance schemes) and has been supporting the Government in developing the policy and programmatic framework to lead and implement these initiatives at national level. This also includes embedding these innovative approaches throughout the disaster risk management cycle, from preparedness to response, including through linkages and leveraging national shock-responsive social protection programmes.
