Mozambique is prioritizing water access in the northern region of the country through the implementation of new supply systems and boreholes. The Minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, Fernando Rafael, announced this priority during a public statement.
Fernando Rafael recognized that concern about water coverage is a national issue, but highlighted that the northern region has presented the greatest water supply challenges. These challenges are concentrated mainly between the months of September and December.
The minister did not specify details about the new systems or boreholes to be implemented, nor did he present a specific timeline for the works. The statement comes in the context of an urgent need to improve access to drinking water in the most vulnerable areas of the country.
