The Council of Ministers this Tuesday ratified a donation agreement signed between the government and the International Development Association (IDA) in the amount of US$100 million.

The agreement was signed in Maputo on November 4th, and the amount will go to the financing of the State Budget under Covid-19 and Development of Operations Policies (DPO).

The financing is targeted at the water, gender, social action and banking sectors, with the purpose of alleviating the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Covid-19 has killed 131 people in Mozambique, 100 in the city of Maputo, out of a total 15,770 infected since last March. However, 13,778 (87.4%) are accounted fully recovered, according to the latest Ministry of Health (MISAU) update.
