I - Background and Objectives of the Project
 Background of the City

• Climate problems in Maputo City are increasingly worrying, on January 2000, there were
abnormal rains, causing deaths, destruction of infrastructure and agricultural fields on the
outskirts of the city;
• The concentration of population within the city of Maputo was results of migratory
movements from rural areas to urban areas looking for better life conditions, security
(political instability) and areas without environmental risks;
• As consequence the city was overcrowded creating pressure over the socio-economic
system, environment, productive chain and cultural of the city.
 Background of the City (Cont.)
Cont.
• The Historical dependency on South African market for supplying primary gods
such as: alimentary products, clothing and job opportunities;
• The biomass energy, 63,5% charcoal and 14,9% firewood, is the main source of
providing domestic fuels that leads to environment degradation, with a
deforestation rate of 0.79% (about 267 thousand hectares/year) in
Mozambique;
• Environment problems derived from null application of the skills to Reduce,
Reuse environment resources;
• Lack of data set and reliable information that could help in monitoring and
managing disasters at all level of administrative boundaries.
 Background of the City Cont.
• Among difficulties observed within the affected urban area underlined
the needs to improve the data collection, analyses and keep update
information system in waste management;
• The city economic sustainability relay on formal business with less
percentage contribution while the informal sector and sell of goods,
services have high contribution assets;
• The urban agricultural production is located along infulene valley.
• The area is the main supplier of vegetables of the local.
• This activities is currently developed by the local communities mostly
from lower income people using local knowledge to sustain their
productivity;
• The sanitation problems in urban and suburban neighborhoods of the
city, combined with obsolete drains, which results in the difficulty of
draining black and residual water from rains.
II - Objectives of the Project
 Project Objectives

General
• To improve life quality on human settlements from the implementation of
environment strategies, technologies favorable to climate changes
adaptation and mitigation.
Specific
• To develop socio-economic actions on the perspective of urban sustainable
development;
• To promote a development actions that leads to low emission and reduction
of climatic effects;
• To strengthen resilience and adaptability to climate-related hazards;

• To reduce vulnerability to climate change, mitigation and low carbon

development.

III - Current states of environment vulnerability
and constraints
 Current states of the environment
vulnerability
Figura 2:

• The city has 1.101.170 habitants most of the live in

informal settlements characterized by environment
problems, social and economic
• More than 65% city population live in informal
settlement which 35% of them are geographical
localized in areas with severe environmentally
sensitivity such as land degradation, humid land
and flood;
• Those are characterized by poor house condition
associated low income earners;
 Constraints of urban resilience of the
city

• Lack of Implementation of land use plans;

• Inappropriate access of infra – structure and basic

services (Garbage collection, water and electricity
supplier);
• Sewage system not well treated causing more frequent
diseases and environmental problems
• lack of basic sanitation services;

• High rate of criminality;

• Insecurity land tenure.

 Constraints of urban resilience of the
city (Cont.)

• Lack of monitoring socio-economic migratory

movements;
• Big waste of potable water and insufficient use of
river waters;
• Regulatory and institutional structures unclear,
insufficient to attend the demand of spaces to
satisfy the urban necessities.
• Lack of skills and technology that can monitor
pipeline system that provider drinking water to the
citizens;
• Limitation skills to reutilize water from the rain;
• Unclear Government lower and policies to attend
land planned demand to satisfy urban development
needs.
