Methodology and tools
The catalogue was produced using the methodology and tools by GRIP and BCPR/UNDP (2010)
for the Systematic Inventory and Evaluation of Risk Assessments.
The methodology and tools use seven categories and a range of variables (See UNDP/BCPR
2010).
Adaptations were made, where it was deemed necessary. Essentially, the SIERA is a four-step
process of work (Figure 2).
1.5
Limitations
Introduction to the SIERA Data Catalogue
Some data cards (the tables) have gaps (missing data). This makes evaluations difficult. The
evaliuation criteria need to be tunned

Inventory of Risk Assessment Studies/ Projects
The various projects under the umbrella of Risk Assessment have brought products (reports,
maps and the like) of great value rather for emergency preparedness and disaster response,
while purposes and objectives of risk assessment (see section 2.5) remain poorly covered.
Risk Assessment has been seen as a one time project.

Remote Sensing and GIS Application in Integrated River Basin Management - Vulnerability Assessment and
Formulation of Adaptation Strategies in the Limpopo River Basin
The key objectives of this project include:
Documented parameters, data and information concerning the Vulnerability levels of the Limpopo River Basin
for both the natural and human dimensions
Adaptation/ mitigation strategies in response to observed or projected climatic/hydrological (flood and to a
lesser extent drought events) and anthropogenic stresses over the basin systems are formulated
A methodological approach to assess vulnerability levels and formulation of adaptation/mitigation strategies
making use of remote sensing and GIS technologies as a decision support tool is developed
Local capacity and awareness raised on the importance of remote sensing and GIS technologies for integrated
river basin management
On-line portal for integrating and analyzing geospatial data will be used for the development of a decision
support system.
This project will have direct benefits for Southern Africa in the context of sustainable water management
through the following results:
Enhanced understanding of vulnerability levels of the Limpopo River Basin for both the natural and human
dimensions
Lower/reduced impacts of natural events and anthropogenic activities on basin systems
Tools and strategies are available for better vulnerability assessment and decision making
Future policies and programmes take into consideration remote sensing and GIS technologies
Vulnerability assessment will aim at providing insights on the extent to which natural and social systems are
susceptible to sustaining damage from human or natural induced stimulus, under the three critical dimensions
of sustainability: ecosystem, socio-economic, and human-health.

Brief Description
O mais recente fenómeno de cheias de 1999-2000 tem o maior impacto destruidor e súbito, sobretudo nas províncias
do sul e centro. As nove bacias hidrográficas dos rios em que ocorreram chuvas intensas estendem-se a montante em
áreas geográficas pertencentes a diversos países, designadamente, Botswana, Zimbabwe, África do Sul e Suazilândia, os
quais registaram, também, situações de cheias que obrigaram à descarga intempestiva das suas barragens.
Resposta:
O Governo reagiu à catástrofe envolvendo os limitados recursos do serviço nacional de bombeiros, do exército, da força
aérea e da marinha, tendo contado igualmente com a intervenção imediata e inestimável de inúmeros países e
organizações; o envolvimento da sociedade civil, de diferentes formas, desde a participação individual à de
organizações não-governamentais, comunidades religiosas, associações, empresas, quer nacionais que internacionais.

Actualização da Política de Gestão de Calamidades
Necessidade de um novo quadro jurídico e de criar órgãos para melhor reflectir a prontidão e eficácia, prevenir e não
somente responder a casos já consumados de calamidades naturais, tendo como base a nossa experiencia interna
acumulada e de outros países. Impõe-se pois, uma mudança de mentalidade de uma atitude reactiva pós-calamidade para
uma postura pró-activa antes da sua ocorrência. Isto, passa pela adopção de uma cultura de prevenção que, tendo em
mente a natureza diversa dos perigos ou ameaças que enfrentamos nas diferentes regiões do nosso país, potencie uma
abordagem multi-sectorial orientada para as comunidades vulneráveis.
A política de gesta de calamidades contém definições ara a compreensão do fenómeno, é constituída por objectivos gerais
e específicos, estratégias, planos de acção, bem como normas legais sobre prevenção, formas de complementaridade
institucional e dos órgãos intervenientes neste processo, segundo o princípio de protecção de vidas humanas e da

Brief Description
O relatório da avaliação da vulnerabilidade
Descreve o contexto para a avaliação da vulnerabilidade
Detalha o esquema conceitual do trabalho realizado
Metodologia:
O esquema de análise adoptado na Avaliação da Vulnerabilidade considera que a vulnerabilidade à segurança alimentar
e nutricional compreende dois componentes: o risco de um evento que está ocorrendo e a capacidade das famílias para
lidarem com o evento.
A Avaliação da Vulnerabilidade visa: (1) Conhecer as condições físicas e económicas que podem influenciar a produção
de cereais; (2) Definir a disponibilidade alimentar e o seu acesso; (3) Avaliar a capacidade de recurso interno; (4)
Fornecer uma base objectiva e um contexto para a medição e correcta compreensão do impacto dos choques potenciais
e uma base de orientação para monitorização da segurança alimentar.

Brief Description
A campanha agrícola 2003/04 foi caracterizada por um regime pluviométrico irregular sobretudo na segunda
metade da época chuvosa (Outubro/Dezembro).
A precipitação ocorrida em Março favoreceu as sementeiras de segunda época, nas províncias de Gaza e Niassa, bem
como o desenvolvimento das culturas que se encontravam em campo.
No que concerne à situação de pragas e doenças, a zona Norte do país registou pragas de grande porte (macacos e
elefantes) e o impacto da podridão radicular da mandioca na zona costeira da província de Nampula foi significativo.

Devido à extrema vulnerabilidade da população moçambicana, os eventos extremos frequentemente
assumem proporções alarmantes, causando inúmeros danos humanos, materiais e ambientais.
Esta vulnerabilidade resulta da combinação de condições sociais, económicas, culturais e políticas que
tornam a população susceptível a choques.
Factores como a pobreza e a fome aumentam o risco de desastres, exacerbando os efeitos dos eventos
climáticos extremos.

Brief Description
Floods and droughts pose extraordinary threats to the social and economic advancement of the SADC region.
Against this backdrop, and bearing in mind the objectives of the SADC Vision of Water, Life and the Environment in
the 21st Century that at their ordinary meeting held in Lusaka, Zambia in June 2000, the SADC Committee of
Ministers of Water recommended that a strategic and coordinated approach to manage floods and droughts in the
region be developed
The approach outlined is the one that the Water Sector also considers appropriate because it is complementary to
and supportive of the disaster prevention roles and responsibilities of disaster management authorities, other
SADC technical units, and the stakeholders in member States.

A Concept Paper Developed by UNDP Mozambique with BCPR Funding
Legacy of Portuguese colonialism, the 16-year civil war (1977-1993), the recurrent climatic disasters, flood
and drought, the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS and other factors linked to governance and management
capacities have turned Mozambique into one of the poorest countries in the world despite a relatively high
growth rate in recent years: the rural areas are the most affect (about 80% of the population lives there)
Mozambique has made the reduction of absolute poverty its first development priority; poverty reduction
strategies have become the main development planning instrument and have become a decisive factor in
the allocation of national external resources.

The vulnerability context of a savanna area in Mozambique: household drought coping strategies and responses to
economic change
Language
English
Publisher
Environmental Science & Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2009, Pages 33-52
Sources
Environmental Science & Policy Journal
Brief Description
In this paper, we investigate the ways in which climate stressors and economic changes related to liberalisation alter
the local vulnerability context. Household and key informant data from two villages in Mozambique are analysed.
First, we explore how changes such as increased market integration, altered systems of agricultural support, land
tenure change and privatisation of agro-industries may affect factors important for response capacity, including
access to local natural resources, employment opportunities, and household labour and capital. Next, we investigate
how people related to the market while coping with the 2002–2003-drought. The study reveals that there had been
an increase in informal trade and casual employment opportunities; however, market relations were very
unfavourable and as the drought intensified, smallholders were locked into activities that barely secured economic
survival and which sometimes endangered long-term response capacity. Only a few large-scale farmers had the
capital and skills necessary to negotiate a good market position in urban markets, thus securing future incomes.
Inequality, social sustainability, vulnerability and natural resource use are all closely linked in the savannas. Hence,
both climate-change adaptation policies and sustainability measures need to target vulnerability context and the
social and environmental stressors shaping it.

Brief Description
The VAC assessment strategy has two principal axes. First, it uses a sequential process of ‘best practices’ in
assessment and monitoring, drawn from the extensive and varied experience of the VAC partners, to meet a broad
range of critical information needs at both the spatial and socioeconomic targeting levels. The sequential nature of
the approach not only provides richer details of the "access side" of the food security equation, but it adds the very
important temporal dimension as well. From an operational (i.e. response) perspective, the latter is critical. Second,
by approaching food security assessment through a coordinated, collaborative process, the strategy integrates the
most influential assessment and response players into the ongoing effort, thereby gaining privileged access to
national agency-datasets, and expert technicians and increases the likelihood of consensus between national
governments, implementing partners, and major donors. This ‘partnering’ strategy links the major players and
stakeholders including regional institutions, national governments, response agencies, NGOs and donors for on going,
intensive ‘rolling’ assessment coverage of food security conditions on the ground. This emergency food needs
assessment was conducted for three main purposes, specifically, to:
Evaluate key assumptions from the April/May CFSAMs;
Update targeting and numbers of beneficiaries in need based on comprehensive national and community level
analysis;
Provide feedback on the emergency response to date.

Brief Description
Goal of the case study: (1) To present and systematise experience with the DRM activities that have so far taken
place within the framework of PRODER, with the aim of making recommendations for the further expansion of DRM
activities in Mozambique. (2) To reduce the disaster risk as far as possible for the villages in question along the Rio
Búzi (3)
Concepts: Presents and illustrates in concrete terms the concept of disaster risk (it comprises the two components of
‘hazard’ and ‘vulnerability’, given the specific context of the local physical-geo-graphical and socio-economic
conditions of the project region.
Methodology: The study pays particular attention to the methodology and implementation of the concept of DRM
and its individual components risk analysis, disaster prevention and mitigation as well as the disaster preparedness
or preparation for emergency. The study is oriented towards outlining the achieved impacts; raises the following
questions: (1) which activities took place in the context of these three complementary components in Búzi and the
neighbouring municipalities? (2) Which participants were involved? What kinds of structures were created, and what
are the impacts?
A special aspect briefly considered within this framework is the connection between DRM and poverty

Brief Description
The purpose of the study was to investigate how people in this flood prone area normally live - in other words, how
they obtain access to food and cash income and how they spend their money in most years. This report (20 pages)
provides a profile to review key findings of the baseline assessment, covering specifically: food economy zoning;
distribution of wealth; sources of food; sources of cash income; and patterns of expenditure
Household Food Economy Analysis is a method for assessing food security and understanding rural livelihoods. The
method is based upon developing an understanding of the various options people employ to secure access to food. It
goes beyond traditional production-based assessments by exploring, in a systematic fashion, the other food sources
people rely upon, and the extent to which these can be expanded in times of crisis.
Methodology
Food Economy Approach: a capacity to compare findings from region to region and from sub-region to sub-region;
Food Economy Analysis counters the problem that most so-called qualitative assessments face – the problem being
that they tend to produce information which may be detailed, but not well-suited to comparative analyses. Because
the Food Economy approach is based in large part on quantifying access to food, and in describing the links within
and outside a community which determine this access, it allows for comparisons to be made between geographic
areas and between economic groups

Pre-hospital Disaster Medicine
Brief Description
The types of medical care required during a disaster are determined by variables such as the cycle and nature of the
disaster. Following a flood, there is the potential for transmission of water-borne diseases and for increased levels of
endemic illnesses such as vector-borne diseases. Therefore, consideration of the situation of infectious diseases must be
addressed when providing relief. The Japan Disaster Relief (JDR) Medical Team was sent to Mozambique where a flood
disaster occurred during January to March 2000. The team operated in the Hókwe area of Gaza, in the mid-south of
Mozambique where damage was the greatest.
Methods: Information was collected from medical records by abstracting data at local medical facilities, interviewing in
habitants and evacuees, and conducting analyses of water.
Conclusions: Both the number of patients and the incidence of endemic infectious diseases, such as malaria and diarrhoea,
increased following the flood. Also there was a heightening of risk factors for infectious diseases such as an increase in
population, deterioration of physical strength due to the shortage of food and the temporary living conditions for safety
purposes, and turbid degeneration of drinking water. These findings support the hypotheses that there exists the potential
for the increased transmission of water borne diseases and that there occur increased levels of endemic illnesses during the
post-flood period.

the Nampula Province and will have serious long-term effects on the standard of living of the affected population and
on the economy.
Criteria for setting priorities in the relief and rehabilitation work: the team applied three criteria for developing
recommendations for priority relief and initial rehabilitation assistance.
Focus on improving the health of the affected populations
Measures having a high impact at relatively low cost
Promoting the capacity of people to help themselves and not interfering with their normal coping mechanisms
In line with these criteria, the priorities cover four areas

Brief Description
Impacto: As províncias de Nampula, Zambézia, Manica e Sofala foram assolados pelo ciclone “Nadia”, nos dias 24 e 25
de Março de 1994. Com maior gravidade na província de Nampula, o ciclone provocou avultados danos em termos de
perdas de vidas humanas, ferimentos e destruição de infra-estruturas socioeconómicas como escolas, unidades
sanitárias, rede de abastecimento de água e energia, habitações, além de culturas que já estavam próximo das
colheitas. Numa avaliação preliminar a catástrofe atingiu 13 dos 22 distritos de Nampula.
Estratégia e objectivos do Governo: É preocupação do Governo adoptar medidas apropriadas com o objectivo de
acelerar acções de prevenção a curto, médio e longo prazo, o que exigirá a disponibilização de fundos apropriados
para o apoio institucional. As acções agrupam-se em acções no imediato, a curto prazo e médio e longo prazo.

O documento foi elaborado pelo Grupo Técnico Multissectorial de Gestão de Calamidades “Pragas e Seca” no âmbito da
preparação da Elaboração de Políticas Estratégicas de Gestão de Calamidades. Identifica as principais pragas, com ênfase
ao gafanhoto vermelho (Nomadacris septemfasciata Serv.), mais comum em Moçambique. Identifica zonas de maior risco
desta praga e níveis de vulnerabilidade da população.
No que toca à seca, o documento define medidas gerais de gestão de secas - advoga previsão de secas a longo prazo,
previsão de secas a curto prazo e determinação de zonas de compensação espacial. Identifica zonas de maior risco,
apresentadas em mapa de probabilidade de risco de seca (fonte do mapa: Sistema Nacional de Aviso Prévio) e, com muita

O documento mostra o sistema de informação: o Grupo Técnico Multi-sectorial e CTE tem recebido informações
concernentes às previsões de seca através de vários Centros Nacionais (ex. INAM) e internacionais (ex., SARCOF, DMC,
etc.) de investigação aos fenómenos climáticos que possam causar secas ou cheias. Após análise, estas informações são
divulgadas às comunidades através da Rádio ou cartazes. Animadores espalhados pelo País podem desempenhar um
papel na divulgação e pode ajudar na avaliação de risco, uma vez possuidores de conhecimento profundo da
vulnerabilidade comunidades onde se encontram.

Brief Description
This document is a result of consensus view about a coordinated approach that will enhance the technical
contributions that the Water Sector can make towards the reduction of threats posed by drought and floods at both
the national and regional levels.
The approach outlined is the one that the Water Sector also considers appropriate because it is complementary to and
supportive of the disaster prevention roles and responsibilities of disaster management authorities, other SADC
technical units, and the stakeholders in member States.
The objectives of the strategy can be summarized as follows:
To further develop and operationalize the recommendations contained in the indicative framework for floods and
droughts management in the SADC;
To contribute as a building block to the SADC multisectoral disaster management strategy currently being developed
by the SADC Secretariat;
To develop the necessary technical capacity for vulnerability reduction against floods and droughts related disasters
in the SADC region.

Brief Description
O relatório analisa a situação de seca em Moçambique com referência à época 2004/2005. Reporta seca nas
zonas centro e sul do país, resultante de uma precipitação irregular e deficitária. A previsão sazonal da SARCOF
(Fórum Regional da África Austral para a Previsão Climatérica), divulgada em Setembro de 2004 indicava
grandes probabilidades de ocorrência de chuvas normais para os períodos de Outubro, Novembro e Dezembro
(OND) de 2004 e Janeiro, Fevereiro e Março (JFM) de 2005 (a situação veio confirmar-se nas zonas sul e centro).
O Ministério da Saúde, em conformidade com as actividades de vigilância epidemiológicas previstas no Plano de
Contingência, está a monitorar a situação nutricional nos distritos afectados. Por exemplo, Gaza: em termos de
taxa de crescimento insuficiente, no primeiro trimestre de 2005, o valor máximo de 11.97% registou-se no
distrito de Massangena, contra 12.36% em igual período de 2004. Relativamente à taxa de baixo peso à nascença,
o valor máximo de 13% registou-se no distrito de Mabalane, contra 11.11% em igual período de 2004. No caso de
Tete, dos distritos com problemas de seca, Mutarara apresenta no primeiro trimestre de 2005, uma taxa de
crescimento insuficiente de 7% contra 12.7% em igual período de 2004, enquanto em relação à taxa de baixo
peso à nascença, o mesmo distrito apresenta 10.6% em 2005 contra 10.5% em 2004. Magóe apresenta em 2005 a
taxa de mais elevada de BPN de 23%, contra 21% em 2004.

Brief Description
Legacy of Portuguese colonialism, the 16-year civil war (1977-1993), the recurrent climatic disasters, flood and
drought, the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS and other factors linked to governance and management capacities
have turned Mozambique into one of the poorest countries in the world despite a relatively high growth rate in
recent years: the rural areas are the most affect (about 80% of the population lives there);
Mozambique has made the reduction of absolute poverty its first development priority; poverty reduction
strategies have become the main development-planning instrument and have become a decisive factor in the
allocation of national external resources.
Impact of HIV/AIDS on poverty: poverty is manifest in health, education, agriculture and basic infrastructures.
Fundamental and structural factors or “causes” that trigger the spirals of poverty in the afore-mentioned areas
and sectors are the quality and low and insufficient quantity of available human resources, the quality of
economic, macro-economic and financial management, and the quality of governance. Other powerful factors
causing power and considered as “structural” because of its historical recurrence are natural disasters (drought,
floods and cyclones) (pg. 5).

Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world and one of the most frequently and worst affected by
natural hazards.
In June 2007, a programme was launched by the country’s National Disaster Management Institute (INGC) to help
build disaster-resilient communities, as part of its National Master Plan for Disaster Risk Management and
Reduction. The programme seeks to reduce community vulnerabilities through mechanisms such as local disaster
management committees and local warning and response systems. It is expected that by November 2008, the
programme will have supported some 60,000-community members living in high-risk areas.

Brief Description
Moçambique: país vulnerável a catástrofes provocadas por anomalias climáticas, provocando efeitos negativos nos
esforços de desenvolvimento económico e social (e.g. as secas de 1981-1984, 1991-1992 e 1994-1995 e as cheias de
1977-1978, 1985 e 1998). O fenómeno de cheias de 1999-2000 teve o maior impacto destruidor e súbito, sobretudo
nas províncias do sul e centro.
Acções de emergência – Resposta: O Governo reagiu à catástrofe envolvendo os limitados recursos do serviço
nacional de bombeiros, do exército, da força aérea e da marinha, tendo contado igualmente com a intervenção
imediata e inestimável de inúmeros países e organizações; o envolvimento da sociedade civil, de diferentes formas,
desde a participação individual à de organizações não-governamentais, comunidades religiosas, associações,
empresas, quer nacionais que internacionais.
O programa de reconstrução exige um esforço financeiro que está para além das capacidades de financiamento
próprias do País e que só poderá ser implementado com um apoio generoso da comunidade internacional. Os
recursos necessários para o programa de reconstrução atingem 360 milhões de dólares, dos quais 298 milhões são
para apoio à reconstrução dos serviços públicos e 62 milhões para apoio à reabilitação do sector privado.

Brief Description
Objectivos: avaliar as capacidades de gestão de risco a desastres em Moçambique; identificar os pontos fortes e fracos
dos mecanismos nacionais de gestão de risco de desastres.
Metodologia: através da identificação dos principais intervenientes e do levantamento das áreas de actuação e
actividades por desenvolvidas por estes intervenientes.
A introdução da redução da vulnerabilidade e a gestão risco de desastres integrada nos programas de
desenvolvimento começam a ganhar maior visibilidade ao nível dos discursos e das agendas, contudo este
movimento tem sido mais lento em termos de desenho e implementação das actividades.
Resultados: Factores como a ausência de uma estratégia nacional de gestão de calamidades, predominância de uma
cultura de gestão de emergências em detrimento da gestão do risco de desastres, ausência de integração da gestão de
desastres naturais nos planos de desenvolvimento sectoriais, falta de recursos humanos, materiais e financeiros,
dependência de financiamento externo, fraco envolvimento das organizações não governamentais nacionais, fraca
participação das comunidades locais, tendência para privilegiar desastres de grande escala em detrimento de outros
tipos, ausência de mecanismos de gestão de risco a nível distrital e local, fraca análise institucional sobre temas
transversais como o HIV/SIDA e as questões de género em desastres, dificultam a gestão efectiva de risco a desastres.

WARFSA/WaterNet
A summary review is made of the major floods that have occurred in Mozambique since the Independence in 1975,
describing the most important negative impacts and consequences
Various types of measures for flood mitigation are analyzed, considering how they have been used in past floods
and their potential for coping with floods in the future.
Brief Description
These measures are grouped into structural (dams, levees, flooding areas, river training) and non-structural
measures (flood zoning, flood management, flood warning systems, emergency plans, raising awareness,
insurance).
The paper briefly refers the need for adequate and comprehensive reports on past floods and some related
research areas.

Where to Go? Strategic Modelling of Access to Emergency Shelters in Mozambique
Language
English
Publisher
Disasters, 2004, 28(1): 82–97
Sources
Journal “Disasters”
This paper, through spatial-analysis techniques, examines the accessibility of emergency shelters for vulnerable
populations, and outlines the benefits of an extended and permanently established shelter network in central
Mozambique. The raster-based modelling approach considers data on land cover, locations of accommodation centres in
2000, settlements and infrastructure.
Brief Description
The shelter analysis is a two-step process determining access for vulnerable communities first, followed by a suitability
analysis for additional emergency shelter sites. The results indicate the need for both retrofitting existing infrastructure
(schools, health posts) to function as shelters during an emergency, and constructing new facilities — at best multipurpose facilities that can serve as social infrastructure and shelter.
Besides assessing the current situation in terms of availability and accessibility of emergency shelters, this paper
provides an example of evaluating the effectiveness of humanitarian assistance without conventional mechanisms like
food tonnage and number of beneficiaries.

National adaptation programmes of action (NAPA) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to
identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for
which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage.
Brief Description
Remarks
The occurrence of extreme climate events in Mozambique constitutes a great barrier to swift sustainable economic
development due to human and material damages. This includes the loss of crops due to extreme events, which can
occur at least once a year. As a result, the population lives in a situation of threat and instability. The Government of
Mozambique (GM), Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs), and Humanitarian Agencies (HA) have been working
to reduce the impacts of extreme events through the elaboration of various action plans and programmes. It’s in
this context that a multi-sector group called NAPA was established with the task of coordinating the elaboration
and implementation of an action plan for adaptation to climate change in Mozambique.

Brief Description
Remarks
A crescente ocorrência de incidentes como o tsunami que fustigou a Ásia tem despertado a atenção do mundo para os
desastres naturais, transformando o tema da gestão dos riscos e redução dos desastres numa prioridade na agenda política
dos governos afectados, das agências (bi) multilaterais e das organizações não governamentais. Em Moçambique, os
desastres naturais são uma realidade que todos os anos ameaça milhares de pessoas; estes assumem fundamentalmente a
forma de cheias, secas e ciclones. A avaliação das capacidades de gestão de riscos aos desastres naturais permitiu
constatar uma passagem gradual de uma abordagem proactiva para uma mais preventiva, alicerçada em actividades de
preparação e mitigação, como por exemplo, o estabelecimento de sistemas de informação em segurança alimentar e
nutrição, a capacitação das organizações baseadas na comunidade locais em gestão do risco de desastres entre outras. A
introdução da redução da vulnerabilidade e a gestão risco dos desastres integrada nos programas de desenvolvimento
começam a ganhar maior visibilidade ao nível dos discursos e das agendas, contudo este movimento tem sido mais lento em
termos de desenho e implementação das actividades. Factores como a ausência de uma estratégia nacional de gestão de
calamidades, predominância de uma cultura de gestão de emergências em detrimento da gestão do risco de desastres,
ausência de integração da gestão de desastres naturais nos planos de desenvolvimento sectoriais, falta de recursos
humanos, materiais e financeiros, dependência de financiamento externo, fraco envolvimento das organizações não
governamentais nacionais, fraca participação das comunidades locais, tendência para privilegiar desastres de grande escala
em detrimento de outros tipos, ausência de mecanismos de gestão de risco a nível distrital e local, fraca análise institucional
sobre temas transversais como o HIV/SIDA e as questões de género em desastres, dificultam a gestão efectiva do risco de
desastres.

Mozambique ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on August 24th, 1994 through the
Assembly of the Republic and became Party in 25th August 1995. By doing so Mozambique joined other Parties of the
Convention, in the common objectives of stabilizing the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere to a level that
would impede dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Such a level should be reached in a period
that allows the ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change that, assures that the production of food is not threatened

The paper elucidates how Disaster Risk Reduction supports Education for Sustainable Development or even shows that
Disaster Risk Reduction is imperative for Sustainable Development. Disaster Risk Reduction is about preventing disasters
caused by natural events, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms or volcanic eruptions. Hazards are part of nature
but can turn into disasters as a result of human interactions. Disasters are among the biggest obstacles to achieving the
UN’s Millennium Development Goals for poverty reduction. This paper is a document prepared by the German Committee

Brief Description
The most rigorous attempt to date to estimate the global costs of adaptation to climate change is a study undertaken
by the World Bank with funding from Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Britain: the Economics of
Adaptation to Climate Change (EACC). Using several climate and macroeconomic models, the study concludes that by
2020, the annual costs of adaptation for developing countries will range from US$ 75 billion to US$ 100 billion per
year; of this amount, the average annual costs for Africa would be about US$ 18 billion per year. The study also
commissioned seven country case studies with the objective of both “ground-truthing” the global study and helping
decision makers in developing countries understand climate risks and design effective adaptation strategies.
Mozambique was one of three African countries selected for the “country-track” study, along with Ghana and Ethiopia.

Brief Description
The guidance lays out a step-by-step approach to assist UN country teams in integrating disaster risk reduction

Disaster impacts have persistent, long-term negative effects on poverty and human development that undermine
the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). While development has the potential to
significantly reduce disaster risk, inappropriate development choices can also exacerbate vulnerabilities and
aggravate the negative effects of disasters. Disaster risk reduction aims at addressing the underlying risk factors
in order to reduce avoidable loss of life, property and livelihoods. Reducing vulnerabilities, mitigating disaster
impacts and improving UN Country Teams' (UNCTs) responses to future disasters correlate strongly with
fostering the MDGs and safeguarding development gains.

Brief Description
This guidance note is intended to support those United Nations Country Teams (UNCTs) embarking on or reviewing,
their Common Country Assessment (CCA) and United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) in
countries where disaster risk constitutes an important challenge to national development and poverty reduction.
Because of the close relationship between disaster and Climate Change the guidance note is also anticipated to be of
use when considering climate change adaptation. The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step advice on
how to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) into the process of CCA/UNDAF preparation, formulation, and
monitoring and evaluation. This guidance note is intended to complement and provide additionality to the United
Nations Development Group’s (UNDG) Guidelines for UN Country Teams on Preparing a CCA and UNDAF. The document
can also be useful to the wider development community by providing helpful insights on integrating DRR into broader
development analysis, strategic planning and programming.
This guidance note is structured as follows: Introduction provides an overview of the relationship between disasters
and development and outlines the key international commitments to DRR; Part 1 describes how DRR relates to the
CCA/UNDAF key principles for engagement. Part 2 explains how DRR can be effectively captured in strategic country
level analysis for development planning (including in the CCA, if one is undertaken). Part 3 explains how DRR can be
incorporated into the preparation of the UNDAF, including reflection on whether DRR should be considered as a crosscutting area, a separate pillar or a combination of the two. Part 4 provides an indication of effective monitoring and
evaluation of DRR efforts. The document also considers how DRR relates to the inter-related principles of human
rights, gender equality, environmental sustainability and capacity development.

droughts. Moreover, poor housing, lack of education, shortage of health services and poor communication and
transport facilities make the population particularly vulnerable.
In 2000, the heaviest rains in 50 years, combined with four cyclones, led to an unprecedented flood disaster that left
some 800 people dead and some 4.5 million affected. This disaster, as well as others in the following years, reinforced
the already existing cycle of poverty, and eroded development gains. No warning system was in place, and it is only
recently that efforts were made to develop systematic coping mechanisms and strategies.
In June 2007, a programme was launched by the country’s National Disaster Management Institute (INGC) to help
build disaster-resilient communities, as part of its National Master Plan for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction.
The programme seeks to reduce community vulnerabilities through mechanisms such as local disaster management
committees and local warning and response systems. It is expected that by November 2008, the programme will have
supported some 60000-community members living in high-risk areas.

Brief Description
Mozambique has experienced severe disasters like cyclones, floods, landslides, drought, and epidemics, as well as a
major earthquake in February 2006. Aware of local vulnerabilities to such hazards and the impacts these can have
on people and property, the Mozambican government and international NGOs embarked on disaster risk reduction
(DRR) initiatives in the country. As part of such initiatives, the Mozambique Red Cross Society resolved to follow
the recommendation given during a UN/ISDR Africa regional training workshop on "DRR and Education" held in
Kenya in May 2006 "to impart the knowledge acquired (during the workshop) to primary and secondary school
teachers". As a result, Mozambican teachers were trained on
DRR issues in June and July 2006, to help them raise awareness among school communities and develop a school
handbook on tsunami and other disaster risks and DRR in Mozambique. The training was a good entry point for
mainstreaming DRR into school curricula.

Assessing The Vulnerability To Natural Hazards On The Provincial/Community Level In Mozambique: The Contribution Of
Geoscience And Remote Sensing
Language
Publisher
Unpublished
Sources
Brief Description
Remarks
The assessment of vulnerability at the community level is currently strongly evolving. Also participatory
methods are seen as the way forward to act successfully at the local/community level. In order to carry out effective
measures for risk reduction, information has to be available about the hazards that threaten a certain area, the
elements at risk (population, buildings, infrastructure, economic activities) that are exposed to these hazards, the
vulnerability of these elements at risk and an estimation on the expected losses. The concept of vulnerability has
not been finally defined yet and indicators and agreements on how to measure the “unmeasurable” are still on its
way. Parallel to this, also the field of participatory practices is moving forward and new concepts such as
“Participatory GIS” (PGIS) are emerging. Within this paper the current application fields of PGIS and the use of
GIScience and methodologies for Disaster Risk Management are reviewed and summarized. From a general
evaluation focusing on available and suitable data and constraints within data distribution experiences will also be
drawn from on-site experiences in Búzi, Mozambique where PGIS methods were applied to assess the vulnerability of
Communities to hazards (focus on cyclones, floods and droughts; Project PRODER-GTZ (2000-present)). Primary
data was gathered through participatory approaches applying techniques of semi-structured interviews, transect
walks and community mapping. To integrate the broad and interlinked concept of vulnerability, including social and
natural issues from the global to the local, and to successfully address the main objectives of PGIS, to “participate”,
empower and represent indigenous spatial knowledge, a common agreement on objectives, methodologies and a
strong legal framework are needed. The relevance of PGIS practices has been evaluated within the Mozambican case
study and will be presented in this paper. A certain attention lies on the requirements for developing countries and
the role of GIScience from a technological perspective, but also from its data availability and potential to
communicate information to involved stakeholders.

Estimating least-developed countries’ vulnerability to climate-related extreme events over the next 50 years

www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.0910253107
When will least developed countries be most vulnerable to climate change, given the influence of projected socioeconomic development? The question is important, not least because current levels of international assistance to
support adaptation lag more than an order of magnitude below what analysts estimate to be needed and scaling up
support could take many years. In this paper, we examine this question using an empirically derived model of
human losses to climate-related extreme events, as an indicator of vulnerability and the need for adaptation
assistance. We develop a set of 50-year scenarios for these losses in one country, Mozambique, using high-resolution
climate projections, and then extend the results to a sample of 23 least-developed countries. Our approach takes
into account both potential changes in countries’ exposure to climatic extreme events, and socio-economic
development trends that influence countries’ own adaptive capacities. Our results suggest that the effects of socioeconomic development trends may begin to offset rising climate exposure in the second quarter of the century, and
that it is in the period between now and then that vulnerability will rise most quickly. This implies an urgency to the
need for international assistance to finance adaptation.

Brief Description
The DRM component in the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH Programme for
Rural Development in Central Mozambique (Programa para o Desenvolvimento Rural – PRODER) follows this
idea. For the Búzi district, at first a participatory risk analysis was carried out, which identified approximately a
third of the district’s population as being endangered by the different types of disaster. Subsequently, different
measures and activities from the ‘disaster prevention’ and ‘disaster preparedness’ components were
implemented in order to reduce the vulnerability of the population and – where possible – the hazard risk as well,
especially concerning the risk of floods and cyclones. These measures included the construction of new
settlements on higher ground further away from the river, cyclone-resistant construction measures in the
rebuilding of the damaged infrastructure, a disaster preparedness simulation and the implementation of early
warning systems.

Assessing Vulnerability and Adaptive Capacity to Climate Risks: Methods for Investigation at Local and National Levels
Language
English
Publisher
Sources
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT WORKING PAPERS, Paper No. 116/May 2009
Brief Description
Effective planning for climate change adaptation programming in developing countries requires a finegrained
assessment of local vulnerabilities, practices and adaptation options and preferences. While global models can project
climate impacts and estimate costs of expected investments, developing country decision-makers also require national
assessments that take a bottom-up, pro-poor perspective, integrate across sectors, and reflect local stakeholders’
experiences and values, in order to determine appropriate climate responses. This paper outlines the methodological
approach of the Social Component of the World Bank’s Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change study. The Social
Component features both village-level investigations of vulnerability and adaptive capacity, and innovative
Participatory Scenario Development approaches that lead diverse groups at local and national levels through
structured discussions using GIS-based “visualization” tools to examine tradeoffs and preferences among adaptation
activities and implementation mechanisms. This dynamic, multi-sectoral approach allows for real-time analysis,
institutional learning and capacity development. The paper presents the research and learning approach of the study
and offers emerging findings on policy and institutional questions surrounding adaptation arenas in Bangladesh,
Bolivia, Ethiopia, Ghana and Mozambique.

World Health Organisation: Programme on Disease Control in Humanitarian Emergencies
Communicable Diseases Cluster
Natural disasters are catastrophic events with atmospheric, geologic and hydrologic origins. They include earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, floods and drought. Natural disasters can have rapid or slow onset, and serious health,
social and economic consequences. During the past two decades, natural disasters have killed millions of people, adversely
affecting the lives of at least one billion more people and resulting in substantial economic damage (1).
Brief Description
Remarks
Developing countries are disproportionately affected because of their lack of resources, infrastructure and disaster
preparedness systems. The potential impact of communicable diseases is often presumed to be very high in the chaos that
follows natural disasters. Increases in endemic diseases and the risk of outbreaks, however, are dependent upon many factors
that must be systematically evaluated with a comprehensive risk assessment. This allows the prioritization of interventions to
reduce the impact of communicable diseases post-disaster. The Communicable Diseases Working Group on Emergencies (CDWGE) at WHO/HQ has developed this document to describe the communicable disease risks in populations affected by natural
disasters. It is hoped that this document, by detailing the priority measures that are necessary to reduce the impact of
communicable diseases following natural disasters, will help to protect the health of disaster-affected populations. Waterborne

In recent years, Mozambique has made encouraging strides in reducing its crippling poverty levels and is making
gradual progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). However, poverty is still
widespread and the economy remains highly dependent on foreign aid. Among the greatest challenges facing the
country are food insecurity, the HIV/AIDS crisis and high infant and child mortality rates.
Brief Description
Production estimates from the Ministry of Agriculture indicate that the 2007–2008 production of cereals, pulses
and cassava were all higher than the previous year and above the five-year average. Yet, the most recent report of
the Vulnerability Assessment Committee (VAC) indicates that in the eight provinces hit by natural disasters in
2008, affected households have inadequate access to food and some are already employing extreme coping
mechanisms. According to the VAC’s report, 302,664 people are acutely food insecure, with another 242,615 at
risk.

Brief Description
This report comes under the cities and climate change initiative to assess vulnerability to climate change. The aim of the
assessments is to provide insights on climate change adaptation and mitigation capacity in cities in developing and least
developed countries. The rationale behind this report is to disseminate the early lessons of the cities and climate change
initiative. This summary of the Maputo city vulnerability assessment is based on the proposed framework for urban climate
risk assessment developed by the fifth Urban Research symposium. Methodology:
The climate-risk assessment framework focuses on the way cities are affected by climate change, as opposed to the way they
contribute to it, an approach that highlights adaptation rather than mitigation. The framework analyses climate risk from three
interconnected perspectives: hazards, vulnerabilities, and adaptive capacities. These perspectives combine physical science
with, geographical and socio-economic elements that can be used by municipal authorities to devise and carry out climate
change action plans.1 this summary has been re-written to highlight these three perspectives. In Maputo, the preliminary
assessment aimed at an overview of climate change issues and challenges in the city. the document highlights current policies
and strategies at the national and local levels; on top of this come a general analysis of existing tools and research, on-going
and planned activities and initiatives (such as training and capacity- building, mitigation and adaptation projects, etc.) and
relevant ongoing information events and networks occurring in Mozambique and in Maputo. The preliminary assessment is
based on a review of literature on climate change issues, including data collection and analysis, existing legislation and
strategies, scientific papers, recently implemented and planned initiatives and projects, as well as interviews with central and
municipal government officials and specialised professionals.

The document reports the combined effects of drought and HIV/AIDS prevalence on the population.
Methodology
Multi-sectoral assessment: a cluster survey conducted in November 2002 in selected areas of the six provinces affected by the
drought (Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala, Manica and Tete); the provinces had HIV/AIDS prevalence above 10% and above
15% of their population and were affected by severe food deficit
Within the selected areas of each province, thirty clusters were chosen (and surveyed) at random through systematic
sampling, with probability proportional to the size of the population, using the figures of the 1997-census. In each cluster, the
Brief Description enumerators were instructed to select households following a specified methodology, and to apply the questionnaire
specifically developed for this survey. Weight for height was used to assess acute malnutrition and according to the acute
malnutrition rate, the severity of the nutritional situation in the surveyed population was classified.
Food Security assessment: The Food Security assessment was carried in the most vulnerable districts in the central and
southern regions of Mozambique from late November to the beginning of December 2002. A rapid appraisal was used as the
methodology to collect data and for analysis. Formal interviews with key informants namely government officials from
agriculture, commerce, disasters, health, including households were also conducted. Purposive observation at field and
traditional burns at household level were part of the assessment and were taken in consideration.
This report contains recommendations, according to the findings of the study.

Inventory of Methodologies, Tools and Guidelines
Methods are very much related to concepts. The methodology design is very much affected by
the way a particular issue is conceptualised. Risk is conceptualised in a varied manner
consequently the methods designed to estimate risk varies notably.
For this report, reference conceptualisation of “risk” is that of the United Nations International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) Terminology on DRR (2009). Risk is defined as the
potential disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets and services, which could
occur to a particular community or a society over some specified future time period (UNISDR,
2009a; UNISDR 2009b). The focus on human actions, behaviour, decisions, and values leading to
vulnerabilities which cause disasters, with the potential implication that disasters are never
“natural”, is now embedded in the disaster literature. The argument is that natural disasters do
not exist because all disasters require human input. Nature sometimes provides input through a
normal and necessary environmental event, such as a flood or volcanic eruption, but human
decisions have put people and property in harm’s way without adequate measures to deal with
the environment. The conclusion is that those human decisions are the root causes of disasters,
not the environmental phenomena (Kelman, 2010). Thus, regional variations in risk are to be
explained by human factors, phenomena and processes. This report also ascertains that risk
assessment is a step in DRM: it is the evaluation of the probabilities of alternative consequences,
i.e., potential losses, of different management actions within the geographic area that is
subjected to extreme natural events. The evaluation can be quantitative or qualitative.
Under the SIERA, the inventories found that in Mozambique risk assessment has been generally
attempted, based on GIS-assisted map combinations of remotely sensed environmental data
with socioeconomic features and population data. Modelling (geological, hydrological,
atmospheric, and oceanographic) has been playing a major role as well. These methods and
tools have been implemented within the context of the existing early warning and monitoring
systems. The results are products (reports, maps, models) of great value for disaster
preparedness and emergency response. Products of specific risk assessment are to inform to
policy and decision-making about alternative consequences, of different management actions
and recommend measures to reduce risk. Thus, risk assessment in Mozambique remains in
need of precise coverage and ample implementation.
Early Warning and Monitoring have been more regularly practiced (Table 1), however,
Mozambique does not have a standardized Risk Assessment Methodology that complies in
accordance with the latest international best practices for major hazards (drought, floods,
landslides, windstorms and earthquakes).

Inventory of Key Organizations and Institutions Related to
Risk Assessment
Disaster-risk assessment is genuinely multi-disciplinary. It requires involvement of disaster-risk
management specialists, geological hazard (risk) specialists, hydro-meteorological risk
specialists, structural engineers, socio-economic experts and GIS-specialists. Mozambique has
expertise in all these disciplines, but existing professional experience varies across the
disciplines.

Inventory of Needs and Requirements for Risk
Information
The needs and requirements expand across over three main momentums: before, during and
after a disaster. They vary over time: if needs prior a disaster (i.e., risk to disaster) are not met,
they increase during the disaster, and more in quantity and nature (diversification), and even
more after the disaster (recovering phase). They also vary in terms of type and from one end
user to another.
The end users of information for disaster risk management are institutions (disaster
management institutions, development planning and communities/ individuals). Institutions
and communities/ individuals have to make decisions, at their respecetive level and context.
The inventory of information needs and requirements comprises distinct end users. The
following grouping of end-users is suggested:

