UNICEF Mozambique Annual Report 2025
This report presents what UNICEF and its partners achieved for children in 2025 in support of Government efforts.
Highlights
In 2025, children in Mozambique continued to face a deepening and prolonged poly-crisis, as conflict, climate shocks, disease outbreaks, economic pressure and persistent poverty placed growing strain on their lives and futures. Post-election unrest, displacement in the north, multiple cyclones, and tight public finances combined to put extra pressure on families and on the systems that children rely on every day.
This difficult context demanded both speed and flexibility. UNICEF continued to work with the Government, communities and partners to respond to immediate needs created by displacement, cyclones, cholera risk and service disruption, while also helping essential systems continue to function in health, nutrition, education, child protection, water and social protection.
Across the year, the strongest results came where humanitarian action and longer-term systems strengthening worked together. National vaccination campaigns protected children at scale, community-based services helped reach underserved areas, digital tools improved the ability to identify and support children who were being missed, and integrated programming showed what is possible when sectors work together around the same child.
This report presents what UNICEF and its partners achieved for children in 2025 in support of Government efforts. It focuses on results, explains why they matter, and shows how UNICEF continued to deliver for children while helping lay the foundation for more resilient services in the future.
