Summary

The Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, Paula Gaviria Betancur, visited Mozambique from 9 to 21 November 2023. 

The Special Rapporteur commends the Government for the remarkable progress made in responding to a complex displacement situation, driven both by conflict and climate emergencies. Important challenges remain, however, both for the remaining displaced population and for those who have returned. 

The Special Rapporteur calls upon the Government, against the backdrop of a fragile security situation, to expedite its responses and to scale up recovery, stabilization, livelihood and resilience-building activities, as well as development and local integration-related interventions in the central and northern part of the country, in order to ensure that the critical needs of internally displaced persons and host communities are adequately addressed. There is a need for a common and long-term vision, aligning durable solutions, reconstruction, development and stabilization initiatives under a Government-led consolidated strategic approach, integrating human rights, humanitarian, development and peace efforts to address internal displacement. Tackling the underlying drivers of displacement, strengthening protection mechanisms and promoting social cohesion and inclusive development for internally displaced persons and host communities are equally important in fostering lasting solutions for displaced populations.
