The Prime Minister, Carlos Agostinho do Rosário, announced this Wednesday, in the city of Pemba, the need for 300 million dollars for the reconstruction of the districts that were the target of terrorist actions in the province of Cabo Delgado.

The amount was announced a few moments ago in the city of Pemba where the reconstruction plan for this part of the country is being launched.

According to the source, of the amount announced, 200 million are for short-term application in the replacement of the infrastructure of the administration and operation of the state, health, education, electricity networks, banking and mobile telephony.

Do Rosário congratulated the private sector, namely banking, electricity, and mobile telephony, which is already investing from its own funds in the replacement. Meanwhile, the state will finance the activities through its budget and also counts on the support of cooperation partners.

According to the governor, a technical damage assessment team was in various parts of the province to survey the needs of each sector in that province, which resulted in the reconstruction plan that is being released today.

The plan includes a provincial commission that will work on operationalizing and monitoring all stages of reconstruction.

The northern part of the country suffered damage from Cyclone Kenneth, terrorist attacks that halted the implementation of natural gas mega-projects, and the negative impact of covid-19.

Do Rosário invited all actors in society to identify areas of action in the implementation of the reconstruction plan that counts with the participation of the Defense and Security Forces, Finance, Public Works, and housing, among others.
