sector.
Now the GOM and ANE are preparing the second phase of Roads 3, which will
be a three-year program to begin early 2007. ANE requires consultancy services
in order to prepare the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the
Nampula Cuamba Road Project. (ROADS 3).

the legislation and guidelines such as Mozambiques, Japan International
Cooperation Agency, Japan Bank for International Cooperation and African
Development Bank (hereinafter referred as the guidelines). The consultant is

topographical and geological maps and soils maps of appropriate scale relevant
to the alignment. Where possible aerial photographs should be analysed. This
analysis will serve the following purposes:
3.2.
Soils (with emphasis on the distribution of soil types, their aptitude and
erosion sensitivity);
Vegetation cover and use (with emphasis for the floodplain vegetation
communities grasslands on floodplains, dune communities, mangroves,
etc.)
b)
c)
Field Work
From the desktop study, the consultant should be able to define with high degree
of certainty the area of influence of the road. The second stage will involve
fieldwork in the area of impact of the project where a visual scoping exercise will
be conducted. The approach adopted will be to first identify the types of
environmental and social impacts that can occur with the project implementation.
The following environmental and social issues will need to be investigated:
