The people of Mozambique are among the poorest in the world. There has been a successively deepening crisis since the Independence of Mozambique in 1975. By 1986, it has become a social, economic, military and political crisis.
In view of the foregoing, the mission concludes that a long-term perspective has to be applied to the planning of disaster relief to Mozambique.
The evaluation should focus on -
- HIstorical perspective
- War and Conflicts
- Acute Disaster situations and causes
- Vulnerability and disaster tendency
- Description of existing structures
- Government attitude to foreign disaster relief
