Mozambique, located in southeastern Africa, shares its borders with Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Eswatini, South Africa, and the Indian Ocean. The country is vulnerable to climate variability, droughts, floods, and tropical cyclones. Droughts — the most frequent disaster — affects most of the country’s rural population who rely on rainfed agriculture. As Mozambique also lies at the end of numerous transnational river basins, flooding in its deltas is also a perennial threat, especially when coupled with cyclonic storm surges.
