The French Red Cross (FRC)-PIROI in Mozambique:

The French Red Cross has directed the PIROI regional programme since 2000, a programme which aims to “reduce the impact of disasters and the effects of climate change on the populations of the south-west Indian Ocean” through disaster risk awareness, prevention, preparedness, and response.

Although it was initially not a member of PIROI, Mozambique Red Cross (CVM) has benefited from the platform’s emergency response support since the floods in 2000. Mozambique Red Cross became an official member of the PIROI (Indian Ocean Regional Intervention Platform) network in 2009, and has since benefited from capacity-building programmes through regional workshops and training courses. Since October 2016, PIROI has participated in 3 missions to Mozambique organised by the French Embassy in Maputo, including a joint post-flood assessment of the Licungo River in 2015, a seminar on civil protection, and a technical workshop on disaster risk reduction in education.

In March 2019, the French Red Cross contributed to the IDAI emergency appeal launched by the IFRC. PIROI deployed 100 tonnes of pre-positioned humanitarian stocks from Reunion Island and Mayotte to help 20,000 people affected by the cyclone in the province of Sofala. With the support of DG ECHO, the FRC helped distribute 1500 shelter kits in Beira City, Sofala province. More recently, in order to respond to the COVID-19 crisis PIROI sent 15 consignments of equipment and local purchases to the 7 platform-member National Societies, including Mozambique. CVM received a supply of surgical masks.

In this context, the FRC opened a Delegation in Maputo in 2021, with a field base in Quelimane (Zambezia Province) in order to implement an ECODRR project in Zambezia province, in partnership with the Mozambique Red Cross (Cruz Vermelha de Moçambique – CVM) and funded by the French Development Agency (AFD).

In the field, the French Red Cross (FRC) will coordinate with all Red Cross and other DRM entities in Mozambique to bridge gaps identified in terms of disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change, while building on existing capacities and expertise and developing synergies, including with non-RC partners.
