Mozambique - Project Preparation for the Climate Resilient Water Services for Cuamba and Lichinga Cities Project

The proposed Technical Assistance (TA) seeks to increase the resilience of utilities, and communities – particularly women and youth - in the cities of Cuamba and Lichinga to frequent and extreme climatic events, to pervasive land degradation and to frequent siltation of dams through promoting resilient catchment-based integrated management. Mozambique completed its Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) in 2011. However, significant TA is required to ensure that the investment areas endorsed for climate resilience vision achieve an adequate level of sectoral readiness. The Bank is prepared to support these activities in order to advance the priorities of Mozambique’s SPCR in the water sector.
