The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is training communities in the city of Beira, Sofala, in building climate resilient houses.

The training, which will last three months, is part of the post-cyclone reconstruction process and is based on a construction technique using wood.

In the first phase, twenty carpenters participate in the training, who have the mission of making the replica in the communities.

The councilman for Urban Management and Equipment at the Beira City Council, Manuel Joaquim, stresses that cyclones Idai and Eloíse showed the need to invest in building resilient infrastructure.
