As of the end of June 2025, around 743,000 people, representing 67.5 per cent of the intended beneficiaries in Cabo Delgado, had received assistance. This marks a 31.2 per cent drop compared to the 1.08 million reached during the same period in 2024.This decline mirrors a broader erosion in operational capacity. Funding levels have fallen by nearly 28.4 per cent, from $85.2 million in 2024 to $62 million in 2025, while the number of humanitarian partners has shrunk by 28.2 per cent, from 78 to 56. These reductions have considerably weakened the overall response, particularly in the delivery of multisectoral support.Much of the current outreach is attributed to the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster, with food assistance playing a central role. Yet, due to funding gaps, distributions now occur every two months and meet only 39 per cent of recipients’ daily caloric needs. Excluding food assistance, the number of people reached falls sharply to 272,000.The coverage becomes more limited when assessing multi-sectoral aid: approximately 305,000 people have received concurrent support in Health, WASH, and Shelter. Meanwhile, around 262,000 children have accessed Education, Nutrition, and Child Protection services. These figures highlight persistent shortfalls in reaching communities with integrated, life-saving aid.Severe underfunding continues to hinder most clusters. With the exception of CCCM (61 per cent funded), Food Security (53 per cent), and Protection and Child Protection (44 and 42 per cent respectively), all other clusters are operating with critically low resources—ranging from just 1 to 28 per cent. The Housing, Land, and Property rights (HLP) Cluster remains entirely unfunded. At present, national NGOs and government bodies are delivering nearly half (48 per cent) of all humanitarian interventions.The 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) seeks $352 million to assist 1.3 million people affected by conflict across 15 districts in Cabo Delgado. The plan emphasizes two primary approaches: (1) rapid deployment of mobile teams to respond to new and acute displacements, and (2) continued multi-sectoral support to three key groups—urban and peri-urban IDPs (via food, shelter, health, and education), rural IDPs, and other at-risk populations (through agriculture, livelihoods, and essential services) to build resilience and reduce aid dependency.The HNRP is supported by the Mozambique Drought Appeal (Aug 2024–Dec 2025) and the Tropical Cyclones Flash Appeal (Jan–Jun 2025), reflecting the compounding crises affecting already vulnerable populations.
