The wider objective of the project is to enhance quality drainage for residents of Beira that protects them from inundation. This is done through institutional capacity development within SASB (Beira Autonomous Sanitation Unit). This institutional assistance will facilitate improved tertiary drainage and urban planning by SASB in the city of Beira in addition to improved donor coordination by SASB. This all to help prevent flooding in the city of Beira, so it is both linked to water management and disaster risk management.

The specific objectives are:
1. Improved O&M of drainage (and sanitation) and overall service delivery by SASB
2. Local community takes care of sustainable tertiary drainage in pilot zone ready for scale up
3. Donors and state authorities make efficient use of resources for Beira
