Capacity building

Mozambique

Thanks to WFP's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) training package that was delivered for the first time in Antananarivo, Madagascar, emergency crews had cutting-edge technology on their side when tropical cyclone Desmond hit the north coast of Mozambique on 22 January 2019. UAS, commonly known as drones, were deployed to track rising flood waters and chart better evacuation plans for the people trying to escape them.
