Title
The Preparatory Study on Road Improvement Plan in Nacala Development Corridor (n13: Cuamba-Mandimba-Lichinga) in the Republic of Mozambique Final Report 2 of 3 Main Text Part III-IV
Abstract
The Study Road (N13: Cuamba – Mandimba – Lichinga), as part of the two Mozambican corridors (Nacala N13/N1 and Lichinga-Pemba N14/N1 corridors), provides a strategic link to the Malawi Border at Mandimba with the ports of Nacala and Pemba, in Nampula and Cabo Delgado Provinces respectively. Although the Study Road has much potential for stimulating development and reducing poverty throughout the entire northern area of Mozambique by enabling efficient connection, the section concerned is the only unpaved section. The objectives of the Study are to determine the most technically feasible and economically viable, environmentally acceptable and socially optimal option of upgrading the existing Cuamba – Lichinga road to an all-weather road for easier transit. The Study also determines the impact of providing an all-weather road on poverty reduction and environment.
