| Project Detail |
To address the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado Province in northern Mozambique, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) will support the provision and improvement of basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, more specifically the N’tamba Water Supply System Network (NWSSN) rehabilitation, ensuring resilient infrastructure for internally displaced and resident population.
For more than six years, the province of Cabo Delgado in northern Mozambique has been affected by armed conflit, resulting in the displacement of more than 1 million people. In 2019, Cyclone Kenneth devastated Cabo Delgado, adding further stress to an already complex situation.
Ongoing violence, combined with increasing climate shocks such as cyclones, continue to cause further displacement and worsen the humanitarian situation. Internally displaced people (IDPs) are putting an enormous strain on already fragile health and water services. Cholera is endemic and an outbreak is currently affecting 3 districts in the province. Health services are limited, water supply insufficient, making adequate water, sanitation and hygiene services even more critical.
Objectives Improve access to water for the conflict affected population in Mueda plateau, Cabo Delgado, Mozambique |
