The FRC opened a Delegation in Maputo in 2021, with a field base in Quelimane (Zambezia Province) in order to implement an ECODRR project in Zambezia province, in partnership with the Mozambique Red Cross (Cruz Vermelha de Moçambique – CVM) and funded by the French Development Agency (AFD). The FRC response is focusing on 3 main priorities: 1- Strengthening community resilience by using a river basin approach (Zambezi Delta) for disaster risk reduction 2- Strengthening CVM capacities – particularly at Quelimane branch level – in disaster preparedness and response in order to provide effective and timely support to the community 3- Strengthening the capacities of DRM stakeholders in the Zambezi Delta to better coordinate, prepare, and respond to disaster. In the field, the French Red Cross (FRC) will coordinate with all Red Cross and other DRM entities in Mozambique to bridge gaps identified in terms of disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change, while building on existing capacities and expertise and developing synergies, including with non-RC partners.
