In June 2013, a joint technical team completed verification and assessment of the Mozambican cluster munitions. The team confirmed that the stockpile contained 210 units of RBK 250 cluster munitions each containing PTAB2.5 anti-vehicle submunitions as well as 83 units of RBK 250 cluster munitions each containing ZAB2.5 incendiary submunitions. The team determined that the RBK250 cluster munitions previously suspected to contain anti-personnel submunitions, where in fact ZAB incendiary submuntions and PTAB submunitions. In June 2014, the joint team conducted a trial to finalize the standard operation procedures for the destruction process. During these trials, the team destroyed one RBK-250 with all 42 PTAB submunitions contained in the munition. In addition, one RBK-250 cluster munition containing 48 individual ZAB2.5 incendiary submunitions, was dismantled and one of each variant of the ZAB submunitions was destroyed. Destruction of the remaining cluster munitions began in October 2014, but due to logistical delays and significant rainfall and flooding during the wet season, the destruction project was unable to be completed within As of 31 December 2014, the project destroyed a total of 90 RBK250 cluster munitions and 3780 PTAB submunitions. The remaining 120 units of RBK250 PTAB cluster munitions and the remaining 82 RBK250 ZAB cluster munitions and all ZAB incendiary submunitions will be destroyed by the end of Reference to Form B (4).

Supplementary information Based on the information currently available, we believe the use of the Cluster Munitions in Mozambique was limited and that clearance of unexploded submunitions can be managed within the scope of the existing mine action programme. However, further non-technical survey work is required to identify the exact scope of the problem and confirm that no more cluster munitions remnants remain on Mozambican territory. The National Demining Institute and humanitarian demining operators are planning to conduct additional surveys in 2015 and Challenges and international assistance and cooperation needed for the implementation of article 4 Activity Description Time period Need Survey and clearance of all known areas containing cluster munitions Clearance Estimated completion date in Financial and technical assistance - Historical Information on cluster munitions strikes in Mozambique

17 Form G Measures to provide warning to the population and risk education Article 7, paragraph 1 Each State Party shall report to the Secretary-General... on: (j) The measures taken to provide risk reduction education and, in particular, an immediate and effective warning to civilians living in cluster munition contaminated areas under its jurisdiction or control; State [Party]: MOZAMBIQUE Reporting for time period from 01/01/2014 to 31/12/ Measures taken to provide risk reduction education As part of the national demining programme, MRE activities are conducted at a national level on a continuous base with more focus on areas where mine and UXO clearance is undertaken and around communities affected by landmines and UXO. MRE is implemented by all humanitarian operators during their clearance tasks and it s complemented by work in the community coordinated by staff of the National Demining Institute. MRE officials are instructed to educate people on the danger caused by UXO and landmines and changing behaviours and attitudes in order to prevent accidents. MRE sessions also serve to collect additional information on suspected areas or landmine/uxo accidents. During 2014, IND conducted 81 MRE sessions that were attended by approximately 14,899 local people (includes 8,159 men and 6,740 women) in 10 districts of 4 provinces. Due to the effectiveness of MRE activities, we have registered a reduction in the number of accidents and casualties among the civilian population compared to previous years. In 2014, no accidents involving cluster munitions were recorded. 2. Measures taken for effective warning of the population Demining operators in Mozambique regularly mark suspected hazard areas and inform the local population as part of survey and clearance work. Various signs and markers are used to alert people that an area is suspected to contain landmines and /or UXO.

Data collection and assessment of the needs of cluster munitions victims (please indicate gender and age of survivors as well as information on affected families and communities) In 2014, there were no known victims of cluster munitions. Additional surveys are needed to identify victims of cluster munitions in Mozambique. 3. Development and implementation of national laws and policies for implementation of article 5 Cluster Munition victims are being assisted in the overall framework of assistance to people with disability, which is provided by the Ministries of Health, Women and Social Affairs, Education and Labor through implementation of a multi-sectoral plan of action on disability. In December 2009, the Government of Mozambique approved the National Council for People with Disability. This council actively monitors and coordinates disability issues and established provincial councils in each of the 10 provinces of Mozambique.

19 4. National plan and budget, including timeframes to carry out these activities A second National Plan of Action on Disability Issues for the period of 2012 to 2019 was formally adopted in All activities and services under the National Plan of Action on Disability Issues are funded through the state budget and with international assistance. In 2013 and 2014, the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs worked with the Handicap International and the local Network of the Associations of the Victims of Mines (RAVIM) to elaborate the National Plan for Assistance to Victims of Landmines and other explosive remnants of war (PAAV). The PAAV will serve as an addendum to the already approved National Disability Plan (PNADII ). The PAAV was approved by the technical council of the Ministry of Woman and Social Action in 2014 and final approval by Council of Ministers is anticipated in Note: If necessary, plans/budgets may be provided separately. 5. Efforts to closely consult with and actively involve cluster munition victims and their representative organisations in victim assistance planning and implementation The National Plan of Action was produced with the involvement of civil society, private sector, associations of disabled persons and RAVIM, Handicap International, religious confessions and international partners. 6. Assistance services (including medical care, physical rehabilitation, psychological support, and social and economic inclusion) Type of service (medical care, physical rehabilitation, psychological support, social and economic inclusion) 1. Basic Social Security and medical Care; 2. Education 3. Health and Rehabilitation; 4. Prevention and Combat to the HIV-AIDS; 5.Publishing of policies and other legal instruments Implementing agency Description of service (progress, types of services, number of persons assisted, time period) 7. Steps taken to mobilize national and international resources Mozambique faces two main challenges to implement the activities on victim assistance: Insufficient financial and qualified human resources; Weak co-ordination of activities between the sectors and less information about the activities that each one carries out. National and international development partners were informed of these challenges.

20 8. Needs for international assistance and cooperation Activity Description Time period Need Implementation of the National Plan on Disability Issues - Basic Social Security - Medical Care; - Education - Health and Rehabilitation; - Prevention and Combat HIV-AIDS Financial support - Qualified human resources - improved coordination of activities between all sectors providing assistance to victims. 9.
