Shelter and non-food items (NFI) support is meant as an immediate response for populations affected by crises, especially those displaced, by providing items such as plastic sheeting, cooking sets, blankets, jerry cans, sleeping mats and sanitary items, to allow affected populations to improve their living conditions in a dignified way. In Mozambique, IOM will remain ready to provide and coordinate Shelter and NFI support as part of emergency capacity, ensuring the response is informed by local and contextualized needs assessments of the affected populations. This component is strongly linked to the Durable Solutions thematic area, as after the emergency response it is important to ensure people will continue to have sustainable living conditions in the long term. IOM will also continue to lead the Shelter Cluster in Cabo Delgado to ensure coordination between partners, as well as adequate management of the IOM common pipeline.

Objective
