In 2019, Mozambique was impacted with severity by two tropical cyclones in the same season, namely Cyclone Idai in March in the Central region and Kenneth in April in the North region. The following year the central region was hit again by Cyclone Eloise and Tropical Storm Chalane, which impacted the ongoing reconstruction efforts and reinforce the need to build more sustainable and resilient human settlements. The estimated total damages of Cyclones Idai and Kenneth amounted to 3.2 billion USD, of which 687 million USD for recovery of the Housing and Settlements sector, the most affected and economically most relevant, with between 250,000 to 300,000 houses either destroyed or damaged.
In this context, UN-Habitat and FAO are implementing the project "Building-back-better and Resilience-Building: An Integrated Territorial Approach in Sofala Province, Mozambique" funded by USAID. The initiative looks at building long-term resilience of human settlements and adaptation mechanisms of local communities to the effects of climate change in Central Mozambique. The project envisages a joint effort to enhance a multi-dimensional approach that tackles reconstruction both from a physical and socio-economic perspective. The project intends to rebuild houses, public services, and productive infrastructure resiliently and contribute to rebuilding local livelihoods in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas, where livelihoods mechanisms are mainly based on agricultural activities and the use of natural resources.
In this framework, the consultancy service - Technical Team Leader (TTL) for the elaboration of a Spatial Analysis of the Lower Beira Corridor, aims to coordinate and finalize a sub-regional territorial study on human settlements, livelihood, and vulnerability to flooding, toward an Integrated Territorial Framework for establishing a Support Platform/Safe Infrastructure Network and sustainable and resilient use of the territory.
