**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 26 countries, the SI teams – 3200 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 (SI) has been present in northern Mozambique since 2019, initially in response to Cyclone Idai and later expanding its operations to address the conflict-related crisis in Cabo Delgado. SI currently operates from Pemba, Mueda and Mocímboa da Praia, implementing emergency and early recovery activities in WASH, Shelter/NFI, Food Security and Rapid Response.

Following major BHA funding cuts in early 2025, the mission underwent significant restructuring. In early 2026, the mission entered a new phase marked by the confirmation of several short-term emergency grants and the expected launch of a major multi-year development-oriented project funded by DG INTPA, in consortium, focused on Education, WASH and Livelihoods.
