The second phase of the ‘green infrastructure’s rehabilitation of the Chiveve river, aimed at establishing a healthy ecosystem and increasing biodiversity in Beira, starts in March.
The Chiveve River is the city of Beira’s ‘lung’, draining waste and rainwater and passing through several neighbourhoods (urban and suburban) on its way to the sea.
The first phase of the rehabilitation, unique in Southern Africa, began in 2012 and was inaugurated by the prime minister in January 2017.

Financed by Germany, this phase is intended to contribute to the greater resilience to climate change on the city of Beira’s part.
The ‘green infrastructure’ layout will be about five kilometres long, stretching between Maquinino, Ponta-Gêa and Goto, in the administrative post of Chiveve. Civil society has been invited to participate in the project.
A considerable part of the nearly seven thousand plants involved will be imported, mangroves will be conserved.
