The instrument approved this Tuesday by the Council of Ministers has the central objective of reducing and solving the problems that displaced people are experiencing. The executive says that the policy and strategy for managing internally displaced people will improve coordination among the various entities that provide support.

Terrorism in Cabo Delgado has already caused more than 800,000 displaced people, some of whom are still struggling to flee the conflict zones. In fact, in an attempt to reach a safe place, the country has already experienced shipwreck situations involving displaced people. It is in the face of this humanitarian crisis that the government this Tuesday approved a policy and strategy for managing IDPs. However it does not explain what changes in the way the Executive deals with the dilemma. "This policy and strategy comes essentially to help improve the articulation processes to make the beneficiaries themselves win," said Filimão Suazi, spokesman for the Council of Ministers.

In addition to the government, explains the spokesperson, "we have been relying on the support of one organization and another," which is why "we need to find ways to improve coordination to support the displaced. Naturally the central coordination is always done by government entities, but as I mentioned, with the intervention of other humanitarian organizations, civil society, individuals, and others, there is a need to improve the coordination mechanisms.

According to the Executive, the Policy and Strategy for the Management of Internally Displaced Persons will provide "appropriate actions of prevention, assistance and socio-economic reinsertion and applies to persons or group of persons who have been forced to leave their places of habitual residence to mitigate the adverse effects of armed conflicts, situations of generalized violence, human rights violations, natural or man-made disasters, and who have not crossed the borders of the Republic of Mozambique."
