Rehabilitation of state services buildings in districts affected by terrorism in the Cabo Delgado province could cost the state over 638 million meticais, according to an assessment by the Ministry of State Administration and Civil Service.
The work will cover infrastructure destroyed by terrorists operating in the province since late 2017 in seven districts: Mocímboa da Praia, Palma, Quissanga, Muidumbe, Macomia, Meluco and Ibo.
Mocímboa da Praia will consume most of this amount, with the rehabilitation of the district government building, reconstruction of four district service facilities and the Municipal Council and Municipal Assembly buildings, in addition to the construction of three secretariats for the administrative posts of Diaca, Mbau and the headquarters post, and three administrative secretariats for the locality of Nnango.
