The Office of Post-Cyclone Reconstruction, GREPOC, has been awarded $100 million to rebuild or rehabilitate 21,000 homes.

The value is part of the US$700 million pledged by international cooperation partners for the housing component.

Part of the money has already been used to build or rehabilitate 3,000 homes.

These data were released in Maputo this Wednesday by Executive Director of the Office for Post-Cyclone Reconstruction, Luís Mandlate, at an event addressing the issues of housing, land and property in the context of displacement due to climate change and disasters in Mozambique.

Luís Mandlate reported that, in the education sector, 4,000 classrooms and close to 1,900 houses were damaged.

In the road sector, passability was restored on the four kilometres affected.

Mandlate said that one concern is to increase the resilience of social infrastructure to adverse climatic shocks so as to reduce human and material damage.
