Huambo Municipal Master Plan

The territorial scope of the MMP corresponds to the Municipality of Huambo, including, in addition to the Commune of Huambo (municipal headquarters), the Communes of Chipipa and Calima. The municipality of Huambo has an area of 2720 km², of which 551 km² correspond to the main commune and the remaining 814 km² and 1355 km² to the municipalities of Chipipa and Calima, respectively.

The elaboration of the Plan involved four main aspects:

• Capacity building of the various sectors of the Provincial Directorate for Spatial Planning, Urbanism and Environment (DPOTUA) for the issues raised within the scope of the territorial and urban planning and management processes;
• Cross-cutting participation, involving a large number of administration and population agents;
• Mechanisms to control the execution and the achievement of the foreseen objectives, through interaction with the Plan's Monitoring Committee;
• Involvement of the municipal teams with the joint accomplishment of the works, to achieve good results in the monitoring, implementation and management of the plan, namely through: improvement of the existing cartography; survey promotion and analysis; joint elaboration and evaluation of network and zoning alternatives; public participation processes; and foreseen presentation/training moments.
