Three days before Tropical Cyclone Jude made landfall in northern Mozambique, the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) allocated US$6 million to help hundreds of thousands of people ahead of the storm.
The CERF allocation allowed the UN and its partners to assist 290,000 people, more than half of whom are women and girls, through critical early warning messages and the delivery of shelter supplies and hygiene and water treatment products, as well as providing access to urgent health, gender-based violence, and child protection services. Temporary accommodation centers have also been set up for people displaced by the cyclone. The funding was released as part of the UN’s Anticipatory Action initiative, which brings the UN and its partners together before predicted crises strike to curb potential humanitarian impacts. Ahead of Cyclone Jude, in collaboration with the Government of Mozambique, the Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, led efforts to ensure people received support before, during, and after the storm.
