Calls intensify to focus on helping high-risk communities adjust to climate change
Six months after Mozambique was hit by cyclones Idai and Kenneth, recovery is far from complete
A lot is at stake and the cost of reconstruction is very high

Cyclone recovery has been further complicated by the cost of humanitarian and reconstruction efforts as well as a mysterious insurgency
The first floods have already been seen in some parts of Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado province, as well as in surrounding areas
Forecasters at Meteo-France warned that Kenneth could trigger waves off Mozambique’s northeastern shore as much as five metres higher than usual
