Launching the Coastal City Adaptation Project, in Quelimane

USAID/Mozambique launched the 5 year project, Coastal City Adaptation Project, in Quelimane city. This is a groundbreaking project that will improve Quelimane’s preparation for events like floods, erosion, sea level rise and other weather and climate related events.

The USAID Coastal City Adaptation Project will work with the municipal government in Quelimane and with academia, and civic organizations to increase understanding of climate change adaptation issues and facilitate local adaptation measures. The project is implementing and training local staff on an SMS early alert and response system, which used in addition to other systems already in place, will allow Mozambicans living in Quelimane to prevent major damages during the rainy and cyclone season.
