Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi inaugurated on Monday, in the administrative post of Luenha, Changara district, in the central province of Tete, a new water system.

According to Nyusi, the new system, funded by the Zambezi Valley Development Agency, has the potential to boost development in the region.

“The water supply system, together with the irrigation system, should boost agricultural production”, he said. “It means that the Changara district will now have the responsibility of supplying other places that cannot obtain water on the same scale”.

The Zambezi Valley Development Agency, Nyusi said, was able to interpret the government’s projects and programmes monitored and directed by the Ministries of Public Works and of Mineral Resources and Energy, which set the guidelines for carrying out the projects.

Nyusi also called on the population to make rational use of the water supply and energy production systems.

Also in Changara district, the President inaugurated a solar energy production system.

Speaking at the event, the Minister of Public Works, Carlos Mesquita, gave a positive assessment of his department’s performance during the construction of these facilities.

He also announced that the government had built and rehabilitated 2,576 water supply sources (more than the 1,963 planned) across the country during 2023, with the support of its partners, which represents a level of compliance of 125 per cent.

“As for rural water supply systems, 106 were built, although only 75 were planned”, he added.

In Tete province, 309 water sources were built or rehabilitated last year, although only 141 were planned.
