This will be supported by direct funding from the AfDB,\u201d executive director of the Post-Cyclone Reconstruction Office (GREPOC) Lu\u00eds Mandlate told Lusa.<\/p>\n<p>The work, covering 65 kilometres of power line in the districts of Buzi and Nhamatanda in Sofala province, central Mozambique, will take 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe quality and reliability of electricity in this area will improve, without the power cuts which currently characterise the districts. We will have a more robust line,\u201d Mandlate said.<\/p>\n<p>Cyclone Idai hit central Mozambique in March 2019, causing more than 600 deaths, with Sofala province being severely affected. About 90% of the city of Beira, the provincial capital, was destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, in April of the same year, Mozambique was again affected, this time by Cyclone Kenneth, which killed 45 people in the north of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The 2018\/2019 rainy season was one of the most severe in memory: a total of 714 people died, including 648 victims of the two cyclones.<\/p>\n<p>Mozambique is considered one of the countries most affected by global climate change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/grepoc\/posts\/pfbid0oNVvjcsHpdzc7pthtwBAYZqQk64d4Ngx8qMnHebYL2S6CQqMTs5jQ6CUeP4mVwZal\"><b>Facebook Post click here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
