Second Climate Change DPO

closed

The development objective of the Second Climate Change Development Policy Operation Project for Mozambique is to build effective institutional and policy frameworks for climate resilient development. The operation has two pillars: (i) strengthening national policy and institutional frameworks for climate resilient planning; and (ii) strengthening climate resilience in sectors. The first pillar supports cross-cutting reforms that will institutionalize and implement climate change actions at the national, sector, and provincial levels. The second pillar supports the integration of climate resilient planning and development at the sectoral level and focuses support on agriculture, hydro-meteorological services and disaster risk management, human development (health and social protection), and infrastructure (energy, roads, and hydrometeorology). The sector areas included in this development policy operation (DPO) series have been identified as priority reform areas by the Government of Mozambique (GoM). The latter embarked on an ambitious program to build the climate resilience of the country, and introduced six reforms under the first operation. Seven reforms have been introduced under the second operation of this series. There is strong demand to continue with support for further reforms in the sectors covered under the series.
