Mozambique - Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA)

In April 2024, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) agreed on conducting a MSNA in Mozambique covering 9 provinces and 3 population groups (IDPs, returnees and host population), to provide valuable information on critical needs’ magnitude and severity, aiming to highlight gaps and priority areas of intervention for the humanitarian response in 2025.

Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) is a tool used by the humanitarian community to determine the nature and scale of a crisis and the needs of a given population in specific geographic locations through the collection of primary data. A MSNA supports evidence- based planning and decision-making during the Humanitarian Planning Cycle (HPC) and other strategic humanitarian processes.
