The Round 14 MSLA assessed 93 sites across Central and Southern Mozambique, identifying a total of 136,637 IDPs. This represents a 14 per cent increase from the previous round, with displacement driven primarily by climatic shocks. While these Figure focus on those residing in designated sites, it is important to note that many displaced individuals are also living within host communities, as reported in the DTM Round 21 Mobility Tracking Report. The assessment covered a range of site types, including relocation sites, resettlement sites, temporary sites or transit centers, and host community extensions. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the demographic breakdown of IDPs, their vulnerabilities, and the specific sectoral needs across shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food security, health, education, protection, and community engagement.

Key findings reveal that 50 per cent of the IDP population are children (under 18), with significant challenges in shelter, food security, and access to essential services. The data underscores the importance of targeted humanitarian interventions to address the ongoing and dynamic displacement situation in Central and Southern Mozambique.
