That was the conclusion of the members of the Program Committee, in their meeting of March 2020 on integrated water management. In this committee, the Directors and senior staff of the Mozambican water management sector participate.

The members of the Program Committee are the National Director of Water Resources Management, the Directors of the ARA’s and the Blue Deal Program Director. To support the members, senior staff of the sector organizations participate in the meetings and give their contributions.
