It will commencein 1997 or early 1998 and have threemain components,plus supportto capacity-buildingwithin Mozambiqueto successfully implementthem: 1. Urban and Peri-UrbanWater Supply which will rehabilitateand extendthe water supply systemswith some complementaryinvestments in sanitarysystems in five cities -- Maputo, Beira, Quelimane, Nampula and Pemba -- incorporating an investmentprogram for each city, allocationsto support managementcontracts, and managementdevelopment for seven other cities; 2. Rural Water and Sanitationconsisting of improvementand rehabilitationof small piped water and sanitationsystems on a pilot basis in rural towns; and 3. Water ResourcesManagement incorporating four sub-projects: 3 ManagementDevelopment Plan for ARA-Sul e. Corumana Dam Completion Works * Strengtheningof Managementof Shared Water Resources 3 Joint IncomatiStudy -- SupplementaryWork in Mozambique In addition,allocations are proposed for capacity developmentand technical assistance (projectimplementation unit), planning and strategydevelopment studies in urban and rural water supplyand sanitation,and project implementation. The NWDP was classifiedby the Bank as a CategoryB project. This EA report was prepared in accordancewith Bank EA practices,relevant guidancefrom the Bank's OD 4.01, and terms of reference(TOR) provided by the Bank. As an initialstep, a scoping exercisewas carriedout and resulted in an InceptionReport which modifiedthe TOR somewhat. The InceptionReport was approvedin principleby the Bank with substantialcomments on the key issues of public consultation,and pollutionand environmentalhealth problemsrelated to sanitation. These issueswere clarifiedand the EA proceededon the basis of the InceptionReport. After the draft final EA reportwas presented,and during the Staff Appraisal process, the Bank expandedthe scope of the project to include investmentsin complementarysanitary systems and developmentof seweragerehabilitation plans for implementationunder an upcomingUrban EnvironmentalManagement Project. The Team did not have accessto any documentationon these issues during the work on the EA study. The final EA reporttherefor reflects this new positivedevelopment of the project only to the degree specificBank comments(Shepherd 1996b) refer to the new componentsof the project.The EA report is basicallyprepared in referenceto the project description as outlinedin the Aide Memoire of 1 March 1996 (WB 1996b). viii Executive Summary Concerningpublic consultationduring the EA study,it was foundthat project componentslikely to be of direct concem to the publicwere not sufficientlydefined to make consultationproductive at the time of the

  • Cholera Country Profile: Mozambique
    WO RLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control Last update: 15.12.06 CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: MOZAMBIQUE General Country Information: The Republic of Mozambique is located in south- eastern Africa and borders Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and South Africa with an east coast along the Indian Ocean. Its capital and largest city is Maputo. Beira, in Sofala province, is the second largest town. Mozambique is a former Portuguese colony and became independent in 1975. Civil war and economic collapse characterized the first decade of Mozambican independence. It is now a multi-party republic ruled by a president and a prime minister. Mozambique is divided into 10 provinces which are subdivided into 129 districts. The majority of its 18 million people live in rural areas with an urban population of only 29%. Its economy is based on industry products (such as cement, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages) and agriculture products (such as sugar, cashews, oil-bearing seeds and tea). Mozambique is vulnerable to climatic hazards such as floods, droughts and cyclones. Malaria is the first cause of mortality among children and the tuberculosis rate is 138 per 100' 000 (2002), ranking 11th on the high-burden Tuberculosis countries. Cholera Background History: Since 1973, cholera has always been present in Mozambique.
