PRESENTATION OF THE ORGANIZATION
Solidarités International (SI) has been providing life-saving assistance in northern Mozambique since March 2019, initially responding to Cyclone Idai. As the crisis in Cabo Delgado escalated, SI began operations in Mueda in July 2021 and progressively expanded to other northern districts including Nangade, Muidumbe, Palma and, more recently, Mocímboa da Praia. By 2022, SI had established a coordination office in Pemba and operational bases in Mueda and Palma.
Following the closure of the Palma base, SI opened a new base in Mocímboa da Praia in July 2023 to support urgent returnee needs. Today, SI operates from Pemba, Mueda and Mocímboa da Praia, covering not only the northern districts (Mueda, Mocímboa da Praia, Nangade, Muidumbe and Palma) but also additional districts further south, such as Metuge, Chiúre, Mecúfi and Ancuabe.
In 2024–2025, SI Mozambique has prioritized integrated, multisectoral programming focused on the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), and Shelter/NFI. At the beginning of 2025, however, major BHA funding cuts forced a significant restructuring, reducing the mission from approximately 140 to around 50 staff and prompting a reorganization of operations to maintain essential activities.
This restructuring coincided with a deterioration of the security situation in Cabo Delgado, with renewed attacks, increased displacement, and unpredictable access since mid-2024, requiring continuous adaptation of SI’s strategies.
In 2026, despite these challenges, SI continues to deliver principled, needs-based assistance across Cabo Delgado with the support of key donors such as ECHO, SDC, CDCS, OCHA, IFSAN and UNICEF while exploring emergency and nexus funding opportunities with other donors such as DG INTPA, adapting its WASH strategy and stenghtening its FSL expertise.
Solidarités International is committed to preventing all forms of abuse—exploitation, abuse and/or sexual harassment (SEAH), fraud, corruption, violations of persons or property, and the funding of activities harmful to human rights—through a strict zero-tolerance policy. SI does not request any form of payment at any stage of its recruitment processes.
