Recovery and Resilience from Climate-Related Health Disasters in Mozambique
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives of Study: This study examines how Mozambique is building resilience and strengthening recovery efforts in response to climate-related health disasters. It assesses how local partnerships foster inclusive, community-based disaster health risk reduction strategies, particularly for vulnerable populations, using Non-Governmental Organizations, Community Councils, and Civil Society Organizations.
Introduction: Mozambique is one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, facing frequent and increasingly intense disasters such as cyclones, floods, and cholera outbreaks. The compounded effects of health disparities, poverty, and fragile infrastructure create high susceptibility to cascading crises. In response, Mozambique has begun shifting toward a decentralized, participatory model that utilizes Non-Governmental Organizations and community structures to scale public health preparedness, resilience, and climate adaptation.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across academic databases and gray literature (2010–2025) to identify relevant publications discussing Non-Governmental Organization/community-based disaster management in Mozambique. Studies were included if they examined public health, resilience strategies, or climate adaptation involving Non-Governmental Organizations or community councils, especially those addressing marginalized populations. A total of 84 studies were selected after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria. Data were thematically analyzed to synthesize common strategies, implementation models, and outcomes.
Conclusions: Findings reveal that a factor of Mozambique’s resilience is due to integrating local leadership with international support. Non-Governmental Organizations and community council partnerships have been instrumental in promoting public health by strengthening early warning systems, investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, and reducing social inequalities. Inclusive planning involving women, the elderly, and people with disabilities has enhanced recovery outcomes. Sustained resilience will require institutional reforms, localized funding models, and long-term investment in community empowerment. Mozambique offers a valuable case study for how locally led, globally supported resilience frameworks can address the intersection of climate, health, and equity in disaster-prone regions.
