Managing waste in Beira, Mozambique for a cleaner city

Studies and design

Beira is a port city located in the province of Sofala, Mozambique. It is home to around 600,000 people, who generate around 300,000 tonnes of waste annually, of which only 65% is collected by municipal services. In addition, the configuration and geography of the city renders it very sensitive to climate change.

To ensure the development and financing of the infrastructure necessary for waste management, the government of Mozambique launched the ValoRe programme in 2019, which specifically targets Beira. 

Financed by the French Development Agency, Seureca is carrying out the studies necessary to construct economic, sustainable, and resilient waste management infrastructure for the city.

Our solution

The first phase of the project involves a detailed review of the studies and existing documentation, the selection of the future engineered landfill site, technical studies, and a validation workshop.

The second phase includes the closure of the former landfill and the rehabilitation of the site, a feasibility study for a composting and sorting unit, detailed preliminary design and preparation of tender documents of the engineered landfill site.
