Project General Description
This operation concerns the Chimoio Inclusive Urban Sanitation Project. The proposed project will be the first investment in the water and sanitation sector in Mozambique approved by the Bank since November 2010. It will ultimately contribute to a reduction in the incidence of water-borne diseases, reduce river and soil pollution and promote the reuse of treated water and sludge for agricultural purposes. The people of Chimoio will be able to use better-quality, climate-resilient sanitation facilities, have their wastewater treated safely and benefit from a wastewater treatment plant that treats faecal matter from the municipality's on-site sanitation facilities. The project will comprise three components: i) development of a sanitation infrastructure; ii) design studies for the water supply to the towns of Cuamba and Lichinga; iii) institutional strengthening and project management.
Project Objectives
The Project Development Objective is to provide access to improved sanitation services to the population of Chimoio. Specifically, the project will improve and increase access to the sewerage network as well as to public and household sanitation facilities, and the municipality will benefit from a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
Beneficiaries
The projected population of the Municipality for the Phase 1 intervention is 483,025 people (up from 363,336 in 2017), of whom about 50.8% are female. Nearly 44% of the population are 0 to 14 years old. The proposed improvements in environmental sanitation, and the hygiene and sanitation education, will provide direct benefits to the residents, notably women who bear the brunt of poor health in households. The specific beneficiaries and level of support will be assessed and detailed in collaboration with local leaders during the design review phase, as part of community hygiene education and promotion.
