The objective of the National Water Resources Development Project for Mozambique is to strengthen the development and management of national water resources and increase the yield of the Corumana dam to augment water supply for the greater Maputo metropolitan area. There are four components to the project, the first component being water resources management. The objective of this component is to enhance capacity at the national and regional level to address the challenges of water resources management in Mozambique and strengthen the framework for water resources development. The second component is the completion of the Corumana dam: civil and hydro-mechanical works. The objective of this component is to support completion of the Corumana dam, through, inter alia the: (a) installation of spillway gates with repair works of concrete pillars and abutments; and (b) construction of a saddle dam with an emergency spillway. The third component is the completion of the Corumana dam: environmental and social. Finally, the fourth component is the water resources development. The objective of this component is to address the infrastructure deficit through support to prepare feasibility studies, tender designs, strategic assessments and river basins plans; and develop a pipeline of future water resource investments in the recipient's territory.
