Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The World Bank on Tuesday approved a 150 million dollar grant to support the Mozambican government\u2019s projects to improve water supply and sanitation in the provinces of Nampula and Zambezia.<\/p>\n

According to a press release from the World Bank, these two provinces contain 39 per cent of the country\u2019s population but have the lowest access rates to safe water supply and sanitation services.<\/p>\n

It adds that \u201cthe northern provinces of Mozambique have the highest rates of multi-dimensional poverty and the lowest rate of access to basic services such as water, sanitation, and electricity. These social vulnerabilities are exacerbated by conflict, frequent climate shocks, and minimal basic service provision\u201d.<\/p>\n

The World Bank\u2019s representative for Mozambique, Idah Pswarayi-Riddihough, points out that \u201cimproving water security in small towns and rural areas will boost the country\u2019s overall economic growth and has major positive externalities in terms of poverty reduction and human capital development\u201d.<\/p>\n

She adds that \u201cfor rural women and girls, closer water availability means less time spent fetching water. By rehabilitating and upgrading 179 school sanitation facilities, including menstrual hygiene management facilities in schools, this operation will mean less menstrual-induced school absenteeism and dropouts for girls\u201d.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s \u201cRural and Small Towns Water Security Project\u201d will improve water and sanitation infrastructure in seven towns in Zambezia and ten in Nampula. In addition, it will supply piped water to 22 rural growth centres through the construction and upgrading of water sources, treatment plants, transmission, distribution, and household connections. The project will also see solar energy replacing diesel generators and grid electricity for powering the new systems.<\/p>\n

The project also makes special provisions to improve water supply and sanitation for internally displaced people and host communities in the two provinces.<\/p>\n

The grant will come from the World Bank\u2019s International Development Association (IDA). Established in 1960, IDA helps the world\u2019s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programs that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world\u2019s 74 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa. Since it was launched in 1960, it has provided 458 billion US dollars to 114 countries. Annual commitments have averaged about 29 billion US dollars over the last three years, with about 70 per cent going to Africa.<\/p>\n

Mozambique\u2019s government has two crucial initiatives to improve water and sanitation, namely the National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (PRONASAR) and the Presidential initiative \u201cWater for Life\u201d (PRAVIDA), both of which are working towards the implementation of UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030.<\/p>\n
