SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association which, since more than 40 years, has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters by meeting their basic needs for food, water and shelter. Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI's interventions provide expertise in the field of access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential area of food security and livelihoods. Present in some twenty countries, the SI teams – 2500 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers - intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.
About The Mission
Solidarités International intervened in Mozambique in March 2019 for a few months following the passage of Cyclone Idai, which hit the Province of Sofala and the city of Beira hard. Operations were suspended after the emergency phase and the mission closed. The evolution of the situation in Cabo Delgado province, hit by several cyclones and severely affected by the violent actions of armed groups claiming to be IS, which caused the displacement of nearly 700 000 people, led to an assessment in May 2021 and to the reopening of the mission. The assessment carried out in the most affected district highlighted needs, particularly in the WASH sector, and the lack of emergency actors. The mission has opened in a complex security and administrative environment, where access is a major issue.
Solidarités International was one of the first INGO actors to respond to the growing crisis in Cabo Delgado, leading emergency response and distributions in hard-to-reach areas.
SI Is Currently Implementing
- Emergency WaSH response in Cabo del Gado,
- WaSH and shelter interventions, targeting the urgent need of the most vulnerable while improving the resilience capacity of the community,
- Food security project and food distribution.
- Deployment of RRM teams for WASH and multisector assessments and WASH responses in the country.
In link with the contextual changes in 2022, SI is seeking to develop a more resilient approach in its interventions, addressing the roots causes of underdevelopment in Mozambique, while keeping an emergency capacity to target the emergency faced by the most vulnerable populations.

Living Conditions
This position is field-based. Mueda has a market, a restaurant, and a bar; locally available ingredients are somewhat limited, but squid and fish, mangos (depending of the season), and other seasonal items are readily available, with imported goods available to be sent up from Pemba. SI has an office and guesthouse in Mueda, with running water, electricity, and internet during the day. Internet in the evening is often cut. The team in Mueda consists of 10 expats at the moment; there are a few other INGOs nearby with expatriate staff who often socialize together on the weekends. In Mueda the days are hot, but evenings are generally cool and comfortable. The months of winter (May – September) are very chilly. Occasional visits to Pemba will be required for visa extensions; where possible, this can be organized to include weekends. Pemba is a touristic city with beaches, several nice restaurants, and numerous grocery shops with imported goods.
The security environment is complex and requires close monitoring. Since the coastal territories have been retaken by the Rwandese troops in summer 2021, the AOG cells have moved to a guerrilla-type of attacks, targeting civilians in some of SI area of intervention (Nangade district, northern of Mueda district and Muidumbe district). Access to these areas is therefore limited and constrained by the evolution of context and following strong SOPs. Access to southern Mueda district is possible on a daily basis.
