This is a project designed by the Mozambican government and financed by the World Bank, and implemented by UNOPS.
“Today, we had the opportunity to present the results. The project is progressing at a very significant pace,” said the executive director of UNOPS, speaking to journalists at the end of the audience granted to him by the Mozambican statesman.
Cited by AIM Jorge Moreira da Silva said that there had been a significant increase in social support and socio-economic integration, as well as in infrastructure.
“We are building 134 infrastructures, 41 schools, 24 health centers, but also community markets and water supply systems. It’s a program that will run until the end of 2025,” explained the source, noting that he had the opportunity to visit the city of Pemba and various districts and localities in Cabo Delgado, where he saw that the projects are progressing well.
