New EU aid grant

    JOHANNESBURG

    The European Union (EU) has approved the disbursement US $61 million earmarked for Mozambique’s post-flood reconstruction programme, news reports said on Tuesday.

    The money, pledged during a recent conference of donors in Rome, would be used for urban road renovation, and the construction of protective dikes in Xai-Xai and Chokwe, in the southern Gaza province, seriously hit by floods last February. The daily, ‘Noticias, quoted Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano as saying at the weekend that funding for other emergency work, including electricity supply, as well as telecommunications and sanitation systems, had also been made available.
