Country Projects: Mozambique

Mozambique is a country which is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, particularly floods.  The IFRC has been working together with the Mozambique Red Cross Society to advocate for the development of clearly defined and formalised national coordination mechanisms for disaster preparedness and response, and the adoption of the IDRL Guidelines into national legislation.
