According to INAM, from November 2023 to February 2024, the southern and central regions of the country registered a deficit in precipitation. In January 2024, there were more than 23 consecutive days without significant precipitation in the southern andcentral parts of the country. Severe seasonal deficits were recorded in Manica, Nampula, Sofala, Tete and Zambezia.

These people will likely see their food insecurity situation deteriorate and fall into severe and emergency food insecurity (IPC4+). FEWSNET warns that Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected to emerge in semi-arid districts of Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Sofala, and Tete. The Government of Mozambique is working with different partners, including some from the UN, in implementing Anticipatory Actions; for the first time the Government approved the activation of Anticipatory Action Plans for nine districts (five in Gaza, two in Tete and two in Sofala) to mitigate the effects of the drought. The coverage of this effort is insufficient as compared to the needs; more resources are needed to scale-up interventions. The foodsecurity situation in Mozambique is likely to deteriorate due the compounded effects of El Niño which brought above-average temperatures, persistent dryness with many areas receiving less than half of their typical rainfall.
