Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Last February, a line of grants was launched, amounting to the equivalent to around US$20 million, to help small and medium-sized companies in the seven Mozambican provinces affected by consecutive Category 5 Tropical Cyclones Idai and Kenneth, which hit the central and northern regions of the country in April, 2019.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister of Public Works, Cec\u00edlia Chamutota, said the line would facilitate the \u201ccomprehensive recovery of the private sector\u201d.<\/p>\n

But the offer from the Mozambican government and partners fell short of the expectations of many companies, which saw their businesses ruined by the passage of the biggest storm in Mozambican history.<\/p>\n

Job opportunities<\/b><\/p>\n

Ricardo Conhaque, president of the Sofala Business Council, says that, in addition to financing, job opportunities are needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf companies had work in the province, it would be a good opportunity that wouldn\u2019t even need funding,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

If this amount isn\u2019t enough for companies, just imagine what it represents for a peaceful citizen without a job.<\/p>\n

Three years after the passage of Cyclone Idai, Victor Mualeua continues to live in the coastal neighbourhood of Praia Nova, which he fled when the sea inundated his community.<\/p>\n

All his furniture was submerged in salt water. Victor says he waited for help from the government to rebuild the roof of his house, but so far, nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy my sweat, I\u2019m trying to pull from here, pull from there, but nowadays, when there\u2019s no work, everything goes wrong,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this day, we have nothing\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Another elderly woman, who did not want to be identified, is also unemployed. She lives off the proceeds of her small business ventures. She remembers Cyclone Idai with great sadness. Three years later, she doesn\u2019t know if she will benefit from help to get back on her feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this day, we have nothing. Since the cyclone, we have not had a place to sleep, and until today we have never received help. Only one side of the house is good, but two rooms have lost their roofing sheets and beams. We can\u2019t find the money to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the last three years, Mozambique has been repeatedly buffeted by extreme natural phenomena.<\/p>\n

Cyclones and floods have killed, injured or displaced thousands of people. The last cyclone, Gombe, hit the northern provinces of Nampula and Zamb\u00e9zia last week. According to an IOM bulletin, at least 400,175 people have been affected, with 82 injured and 20 dead, along with damage to 301 schools, 691 classrooms and 17 health centres.<\/p>\n
