Maputo Metropolitan Area Urban Mobility Project

The development objective Maputo Metropolitan Area Urban Mobility Project for Mozambique is to improve mobility and accessibility along selected corridors in the Maputo Metropolitan Area. This project has five components. 1) The first component, Urban Transport Institutional and Regulatory Strengthening and Public Transport Industry Professionalization, aims to finance technical assistance (TA) and capacity building for institutional and regulatory strengthening in urban transport, building of human capital in the sector, and professionalization of formal and informal operators. 2) The second component, Comprehensive Public Transport Improvements, aims to finance the first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system of the Maputo Metropolitan Area (AMM), integrating improvements in infrastructure, traffic management, digital technologies, and operations management, in a manner that will contribute to improve public transport, enhance safe mobility for pedestrians, and build a more inclusive public transport system, with particular focus on women, low-income groups, and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). 3) The third component, Comprehensive Improvements for Safe Access to Neighborhoods and Corridor Integration, aims to support mobility investments in areas of influence of the project (beyond the selected BRT corridors) and access to low-income neighborhoods. 4) The fourth component, Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, aims to finance project management support during implementation, in accordance with World Bank policies. 5) The fifth component, Contingency and Emergency Response, aims to facilitate access to rapid financing through the reallocation of uncommitted project funds in an eligible crisis or emergency.
