1. Kraków- Poland ,2nd April 2019. MANUEL DE ARAÚJO (PhD) MAYOR, QUELIMANE MUNICIPALITY NATIONAL Urban FORUM – assumptions and expectations in the context of strengthening and coordination of the urban dimension in development policy

2. Mozambique background • Area: 801,590 Km2 • Mozambique as around 26,473,000inhabitants. • Is facing a quick population growth • 70% of the urban population is living in a informal settlements. • The housing debt is about 2 million of houses (13,5 millions of inhabitants). • From around 26 millions of Mozambicans, 8.2 millions live in urban areas. • The population growth is 2,8% per year and the urbanization rate is 3,3% per year, so that the urban areas will grow very fast.

3. National and Global Framework

4. National and Global Framework PQG 2015-2019 e Sectorial Strategies NEW UBAN AGENDA • 4 components: • National urban policy • Laws and regulations • Land and urban planning • Availability of Municipal finances to develop and implement a urban land use plan • Construction and rehabilitation of water supply and sanitation infrastructures; • Promote the self-construction of residence with cheap local materials in a previously infrastructure plots; • Develop a National land registration and the legal occupation; • Promote the expansion of green areas, gardens and public spaces in cities and small towns; • Use of established standards to build infrastructures exposed to face the climate changes. 6 Actions to stimulate changes: • Planned city expansion • Planned occupation of cities • Territory reorganization • Regulation for use of public spaces • Habitation as central mark • Basic service access

5. National and Global Framework • Emergency Plan (objectives); • Identify the principal weakness , risks zones and the possible impacts during the rain and cyclone periods. • Reduce loosing human lives ant his infrastructures ; • Provide quickly the human assistance; • Set the right actions to be resilient in certain natural disaster ; • Provide the necessary human, financial and material resource for intervention in case of disasters.

6. How is housing defined by Local People How is housing defined by UN-Habitat • Roof and walls • Family • Leisure • Security • Peace • Dignity • Resistance • heritage • Wealth • Water • Electricity • Access road • Plot/right to Use the land • Agriculture • backyard • Sanitation “Habitation is a basic human right”

7. Riskand Threats that affect the local infrastructures • Floods, • Cyclones • Droughtsand, • Earthquakes

8. Vulnerability factors of local housing infrastructures: Location Building design (drawing and technical specification) Component of the project Construction techniques and the material used to build it.

9. Mozambique’s efforts FOR RESILIENCE BUILDING & fostering climate change adaptation initiatives National Strategy for Climate change Adaptation and Mitigation 2012-2025 National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) Approved by Ministers Council at its 32nd Session, held on 4th December 2007 Maputo

10. RESILIENT HOUSING CONSTRUCTION: Quelimane city

11. CLIMATE RESILIENT CONSTRUCTIONRESILIENT CONSTRUCTION: the process CONCEPTION PROCESS • HOUSING TYPOLOGY & RISK ASSESSMENT • DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING MODELS OF RESILIENT HOUSING • INVOLVING STAKEHOLDER FOR VALIDATION OF RESILIENT HOUSING MODELS • JOB TRAINING FOR LOCAL ARTISANS • DESIGNING THE TECHNICAL PROJECT • WAY FORWARD: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES

12. CLIMTCLICLIMATE RESILIENT CONSTRUCTIONESILIENT CONSTRUCTION CONCEPT: An infrastructure/housing that intentionally incorporates in its design elements that aid in withstanding disaster and disruption of normal life For CMCQ – it must also be culturally acceptable and affordable • Examples: • Locating Construction • Securing the Roof • Capturing/Storing Rainwater • Raised Foundation • Reinforced Walls

13. 1. HOUSING TYPOLOGY & RISK ASSESSMENT 1.1. RISK & VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT Quelimane is a part of Northern area of Zambezi Delta, one of the most important wetlands on the eastern seaboard of Africa; Natural exposure to strong winds and cyclones. Due to its irregular topographic features it has elevated areas prone to landslide; Low laying areas located around the city – exposed to floods either from rainfall or tide

14. 1.2. RISK & VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT a) Extensional balcony without support or pillars; b) Wallswith a thickness of 0.3mm which is not recommended; c) Structures of buildings not reinforced to resist the threats (lack of diagonals, bad connection between mother and bar)

15. 2. HOUSING TYPOLOGY 1. SHAPE OF THE HOUSE Most houses, regardless of the type of cover, have a quadrangular or symmetrical. 2. COVER OF THE HOUSE THE FIRST, the most predominant one, is the coverage in two waters mostly made in sheet metal with 0.3mm thickness. THE SECOND is the four-way cover made of corrugated metal sheet or plant material.

16. 3. STAKEHOLDER VALIDATION OF RESILIENT HOUSING MODELS • Participatory seminar on design and validation of the R-Housing models: • The objective was to idealize propose and validating the housing models taking into account social, cultural and economic aspects; • The seminar was structured in four sessions including theoretical and practical components – leaning by doing Sketch of proposed house model by group 1

17. 4. ON JOB TRAINING FOR LOCAL ARTISANS Sketch of proposed house model by group 2 Sketch of proposed house model by group 3

18. 4. ON JOB TRAINING FOR LOCAL ARTISANS Tree training was intended to strengthen the technical skills of technicians and artisans by providing practical subsides on resilient construction.

19. QUELIMANE CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION INITIATIVES 5. SMART AND RESILIENT HOUSING DESIGN The starting point: typical house design and construction vulnerable to climate related events GOALS: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT SAFE, FUNCTIONAL, AFFORDABLE RESILIENT HOUSES

20. QUELIMANE CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION INITIATIVES 5. SMART AND RESILIENT HOUSING DESIGN GOALS: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT SAFE, FUNCTIONAL, AFFORDABLE RESILIENT HOUSES

21. WAY FORWARD: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES • Information Dissemination (eg. policy brief) • Expansion of Models • Development of building codes • Inputs into housing policy • Funding mobilization for construction • Support • Partnerships for housing projects • Most artisans need support on technical capacities to continue the dissemination

22. Final Considerations The most important key is to continue the normative laws for habitations in mozambique – effectives policies and upDated;Promote National and local actions for habitation, Plan and execute programs that can improve people´s standards of livingbuilding non resilient infrastructure torn unsustainable the investment in habitation

23. Final Considerations The resilient infrastructure need an assessment and high investment on there buildingThe Standards designs (E.g.: Building Lows, proper material for the resilient house, Projects Model)building Guidelines Common infraestructeres Indicators Improve the capacity of implemeting in varieted levels (institucional, human resourses). Financial mechanisms after emergency
