International finance
The first World Bank water project to take place in Mozambique was given the go-ahead in February
1998. This involved a US$36 million credit to assist the Government to improve water supply and
sanitation in rural and urban areas. This project will lay the groundwork for an increase in the quality,
coverage, and sustainability of water supply and sanitation services through new systems and
encouraging privatisation policies. The Mozambique National Water Development Project’s total cost
of US$56.9 million will be financed by a US$36.0 million IDA credit and co-financed by the
Government of Mozambique and various bilateral institutions.
In June 1999, the African Development Fund (ADF) loaned US$26.44 million for a water supply
rehabilitation project in Maputo. This project is concentrating on water supply and sanitation systems
to bring these to the unserviced areas of the Hulene/Laulane/Mahotas suburbs of Maputo. The
project concentrates on rehabilitation and extension works to the existing water supply system to
increase the filter capacity at the water treatment, distribution and upgrading works as well as the
installation of an additional water storage facility. The total cost of the project is estimated at US$31.9
million. The work is being carried out by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing and ran for three
and a half years from September 1999.
