Maputo Municipal Development Program II (MMDP II)

closed

The objective of the Second Maputo Municipal Development Program Project for Mozambique is to increase the coverage and quality of Maputo Municipality's services to its citizens by continuing to strengthen its institutional and financial capacities. There are five components to the project: 1) institutional development seeks to strengthen municipal capacity to deliver services in response to citizen demand. The component will address two sorts of constraints: (a) limited technical and administrative capacity to carry out municipal functions; and (b) governance constraints which limit responsiveness and accountability by the municipality; 2) financial sustainability seeks to ensure the financial sustainability of the Maputo Municipal Council. It seeks to raise revenues and rationalize expenditures with the support of an integrated financial management system; 3) urban planning seeks to ensure the equitable and sustainable management of municipal land, mostly through improvements in land administration procedures, the establishment of a geographic information system, and modest neighborhood improvements; 4) urban infrastructure investment and maintenance seeks to ensure the construction and maintenance of key municipal transport and drainage infrastructure; and 5) metropolitan development seeks to introduce a metropolitan approach for the improvement of selected municipal services. Key sectors identified include urban transport and solid waste management.
