Description
The Government of Mozambique commit itself to take all necessary steps to accelerate achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 by 2030 in the following areas:
1) Universal access to safe and sustainable water in rural and urban areas
2) Universal access to at least basic sanitation in rural and urban areas
3) Integrated Water Resources Management
4) Increasing public and private financing to achieve universal access to water and sanitation
5) Strengthening the WASH sector regulatory framework to create an enabling and conducive environment for the private sector
6) Developing and maintaining a functional Integrated Information and Monitoring System
The identified actions will contribute to accelerate SDG implementation as follows:
By 2027, the Government of Mozambique ensures a reduction of 50 per cent of open defecation
By 2027, the Government of Mozambique establishes an online monitoring system for tracking progress towards ending open defecation integrated into the National Water and Sanitation Monitoring Platform
By 2027, the Government of Mozambique develops innovative and affordable models of climate resilient sanitation facilities, especially for rural areas which are the most in need
By 2030, improve the strategic water storage capacity to increase and secure water availability to meet water demands for the basic needs of populations and socio-economic development, as well as mitigate the negative impacts of recurring floods and droughts
By 2027, the Government of Mozambique increases the volume of financial resources allocated by at least 0,5 per cent to the Water and Sanitation Sector to reach internationally agreed budget allocation targets and to improve access to services
By 2026, AURA increases its outreach and regulate 1,202 systems: 17 urban water supply systems (which will be managed by the four newly created regional societies), 94 supply systems for secondary cities and towns, 16 main city sanitation systems sanitation systems, 559 rural systems, and 516 Private Systems
By 2027, the Government of Mozambique establishes and properly runs an integrated system-wide information and monitoring system for the WASH sector
