Sub-projects

Sub-Projects or Main Areas of the CTR Project

The following three (3) activities correspond to CTR subprojects:

  • Licungo Bridge and Mocuba Bypass

    Construction of a new bridge and bypass road for climate resilience and congestion reduction.

    Objective

    To enhance connectivity and resilience of the N1 road.

  • Rural Roads

    Improvement of arterial and secondary roads, including upgrading, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

    Objective

    To improve access to district capitals, markets, and social services.

  • Policy and Institutional Reforms

    Ensure support for (a) improving the existing road maintenance financing system to benefit from increased funding, (b) implementing road asset management in Zambézia, and (c) enhancing women's access to and benefits from transportation services.

    Objective

    To increase funding for road maintenance, improve institutional performance, and promote social inclusion.

CTR

Key Implementation Strategies

  • Designing a reliable climate-resilient infrastructure (e.g., Licungo Bridge with a safety margin above flood levels).

  • Using economic and social criteria for road prioritization;

  • Providing technical assistance to improve funding mechanisms and road asset management systems.

  • Incorporating stakeholder engagement, including women and excluded groups, into road management.

Cross-cutting

Cross-cutting commitments

  • Environmental and Social Safeguards

    The CTR Project includes measures to mitigate environmental and social impacts, such as:

    • Conducting Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) for activities like the Licungo Bridge and rural road interventions.
    • Developing Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) to align with International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards and Mozambican environmental requirements.

  • Gender and Social Inclusion

    The project emphasizes addressing gender barriers, such as:

    • Improving women's mobility through awareness campaigns, skills training, and support for women-led transport services.
    • Promoting women's employment in construction, rehabilitation, and road maintenance activities.
    • Mitigating risks like sexual harassment and gender-based violence (GBV) through training, awareness, and reporting mechanisms

  • Trafficking in Persons and Safety

    Construction activities may exacerbate trafficking risks and road safety concerns, including:

    • The influx of male workers potentially leading to harmful behaviors.
    • Trafficking risks along improved road corridors;

  • Biodiversity Conservation

    The CTR Project incorporates biodiversity offsets and sustainable practices, such as:

    • Avoiding large-scale deforestation and habitat destruction.
    • Potentially piloting new biodiversity legislation.

  • Institutional Coordination

    • The project involves multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, contractors, and local communities.
    • A collaborative approach is taken to enhance capacity and align national policies with international standards.

  • Climate Resilience

    Climate adaptation strategies include:

    • Designing reliable infrastructure like elevated bridges;
    • Incorporating climate considerations into maintenance and construction practices;

  • Economic Empowerment

    The project seeks to:

    • Reduce transportation costs, benefiting approximately 57.4 million people.
    • Create employment and income generation opportunities for women and youth
