Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Quelimane City Council, in Mozambique, and the Nova University of Lisbon have devised a cooperation agreement in the area of climate which allows public policies to be drawn up on empirical data collected by researchers, Mayor Manuel de Ara\u00fajo has told Lusa.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic managers often make decisions that are not based on facts, because they do not have the means to gather them,\u201d Ara\u00fajo told Lusa following his participation in the 2022 NOVAFRICA Conference on Economic Development, which ends today in Carcavelos, Lisbon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cooperation agreement with Universidade Nova makes it possible to draw up public policies that will influence what is happening,\u201d the mayor explained, citing as examples the studies that are being carried out on climate change and the use of bicycles in Quelimane.<\/p>\n

University researchers are working on several projects in the city, one of which concerns climate change, Ara\u00fajo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey present us data that we were not able to systematise, while working towards their master\u2019s or doctorate. They also transfer knowledge to municipal employees,\u201d Ar\u00e1ujo explained.<\/p>\n

Another area in which Nova researchers are working is the use of bicycles in Quelimane city, which has the highest number of these vehicles per capita in Mozambique.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is necessary to understand this phenomenon, to know where they are from, what they do, what they earn, and we do not have the capacity to carry such studies. The university sends its students, who share with us their results, and in this way we improve our knowledge about our situation. This cooperation has served as a lodestar for the governance process,\u201d the mayor concluded.<\/p>\n

In Quelimane, Manuel de Ara\u00fajo told Lusa in February, in addition to being a means of transport, the bicycle \u201chas become an instrument of inclusion and employment\u201d, with around 5,000 young people employed by dint of bicycles adapted to carry passengers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most popular means of public transport in Quelimane is the bicycle taxi,\u201d revealed the mayor, explaining that the back of the vehicle \u2013 which, in some electric models, is occupied by the battery \u2013 in Mozambique is made into a second seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cRiding a bicycle in Quelimane has become fashionable; people are proud of it. And cyclists, who were once despised by the police, are today called \u2018the sons of Ara\u00fajo\u2019 (\u2026) In southern Africa and in English-speaking countries, I\u2019m called \u2018the cycling man\u2019 \u2013 the city mayor who rides a bicycle,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

During his February visit to Portugal, Manuel de Ara\u00fajo signed cooperation agreements in areas such as training and mobility with the municipalities of Coimbra, Leiria, Cantanhede and Agueda, the latter being in the Portuguese district of Aveiro, which has a history of manufacturing bicycles.<\/p>\n
