The Government of the Republic of Mozambique and the African Water Facility (AWF) has entered into a grant agreement for a feasibility study on Urban Sanitation, Drainage and Solid Waste Management in Chimoio and Inhambane. This AWF €1.6-million grant project will contribute to improve livelihood conditions and climate change resilience for the 310,000 citizens of the Municipalities of Chimoio and Inhambane. The effects are aggravated by a combination of insufficient storm water drainage, sea intrusion and old and collapsed sanitation systems. In urban areas only 55-60% of the population has access to sanitation services. This will be achieved through improved services in sanitation, drainage and solid waste management.
