Mota‐Engil mobilised equipment, technical and human resources to
carry out interventions in isolated populations. In Mocuba, in the province of Zambezia, Mota‐Engil Mozambique allocated the means necessary for the recovery of roads from the outset.

Economic Associations), which consisted of the collection of non‐perishable foodstuffs, hygiene products, mosquito nets and other basic necessities, an objective that was achieved with the shipment of 14‐tonne containers that were transported by sea from Maputo

In Mozambique, Aníbal Leite (Executive Director Mota‐Engil Africa and Market CEO) and Paulo Pereira (Market
CFO), together with the teams in the field, provided support to the local communities that were affected, with the following interventions standing out:
