The UK is reaching up to 100,000 of the most vulnerable people displaced by the conflict in Cabo Delgado province with emergency shelter, food and protection services. We are also working to address the underlying causes of the conflict by improving access to basic services, supporting development, building peace and resilience to shocks. In May 2023, the Minister of State for Development and Africa met President Nyusi and discussed UK support for the Government of Mozambique's response, including through new programmes aimed at building local resilience to violent extremism and security and human rights training that has been delivered to over 200 Armed Forces personnel to date.
