The study concludes by suggesting measures to link the continent's ICT boom in citizen-based mobile telephony and internet usage with the rapid rise of public sector ICT phenomena as a promising means to plug service delivery gaps. In view of these highlights, this report stands to serve as a valuable resource guide to a wide audience of practitioners, including policy wonks, urban specialists; ICT and climate change enthusiasts, as well as social accountability activists. This report consists of five sections. Section one details the impact of climate change on Mozambique's urban poor while also providing an overview of the country's disaster response system. In view of the decentralization of much of Mozambique's ICT and other resources among municipal governments, section two sheds light on leveraging local government-level ICT towards enhancing urban climate resilience and disseminates awareness on the 'ICT- Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty (PARPA)' framework. Section three describes the four ICT tools most widely being used towards climate-change adaptation, while Section 4 seeks to quantify the level to which municipal ICT growth is having an impact on urban climate resilience generally, and seeks to answer the question of whether it is having an equitable impact on the poor. Upon measuring the extent to which urban climate resilience is being enhanced and analyzing differential impact on the urban poor, section five recommends targeted reform in ICT-PARPA framework such that ICT impact is equitable for all communities, and postulates how such reform can be realized.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TARIFFSACCESS TO THE INTERNETACTION PLANACTION PLANSADOPTION OF ICTAPPLIANCESBACKBONEBANDWIDTHBASICBIG CITIESBROADBANDBROADCASTBUSINESS PERMITSBUSINESS TRANSACTIONSBUSINESSESCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCITIES ALLIANCECITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITY INFRASTRUCTURECITY MANAGEMENTCITY MAPCITY PLANNINGCOMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITIESCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPUTER SYSTEMSCOMPUTERIZATIONCOMPUTERSCONNECTION SPEEDCONNECTIVITYCOORDINATION MECHANISMSCOPYINGDATA COVERAGEDATA STORAGEDEDICATED LINEDIGITALDIGITAL DIVIDEDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREVENTIONDOMAINDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDRINKING WATERE-GOVERNANCEE-GOVERNMENTE-GOVERNMENT INITIATIVESE-GOVERNMENT POLICIESE-GOVERNMENT PROJECTSE-GOVERNMENT SYSTEMSE-MAILE-READINESSE-READINESS INDEXE-SERVICESECONOMIC ACTIVITYEGOVERNANCEEGOVERNMENTELECTRICITYELECTRONIC DATAELECTRONIC NETWORKELECTRONIC SERVICESEMERGENCY OPERATIONSENABLING ENVIRONMENTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSEQUIPMENTESERVICESFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL AUTONOMYGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSGLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMGOVERNMENT ENTITIESGOVERNMENT SERVICESGPSHARDWAREHUMAN CAPACITIESHUMAN CAPITALICTIMAGEIMAGESIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSINFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION MANAGEMENTINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIESINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE OPERATIONSINNOVATIONINNOVATIONSINPUT DATAINSTITUTIONINTERNAL COMMUNICATIONSINTERNET ACCESSINTERNET HOSTSINTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERSINTERNET SERVICESINTERNET USEINTEROPERABILITYIPISPSIT INFRASTRUCTUREKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLAND DISPUTESLAND MANAGEMENTLAND OWNERSHIPLAND REGISTRATIONLAND TITLINGLAND USELICENSESLICENSINGLOGISTICS SYSTEMSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMARKET ACCESSMATERIALMEDIAMESSAGINGMOBILE APPLICATIONSMOBILE DEVICESMOBILE PHONEMOBILE PHONESMOBILE SERVICEMOBILE SERVICESMOBILE TELEPHONEMOBILE TELEPHONESMOBILE TELEPHONYMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKSOFFICE OPERATIONSOPEN DEVELOPMENTOUTSOURCINGPAPERLESS OFFICEPCSPENETRATION RATESPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPOLICEPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY FRAMEWORKSPORTALSPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRODUCTIVITYPROVINCIAL CAPITALSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONQUERIESRADIORADIO COMMUNICATIONRADIO STATIONSREAL TIMEREFUGEESRELIABILITYRESULTRESULTSROUTINGSAFETY NETSSANITATION FACILITIESSATELLITESATELLITESSECURE DATASENSORSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICES TO CITIZENSSILOSILOSSIMULATIONSLUM AREASSLUMSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOFTWARE APPLICATIONSSOFTWARESSPREADSHEETSSTAKEHOLDERSTAGGINGTECHNICAL EXPERTSTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNOLOGICAL CHANGETELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKSTELEPHONETELEVISIONTEXTTRANSPARENCYUNDERSEA CABLESURBAN AGGLOMERATIONURBAN AREASURBAN DESIGNURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN ENVIRONMENTURBAN GOVERNANCEURBAN GOVERNMENTSURBAN MANAGEMENTURBAN PLANNERSURBAN POORURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN RESIDENTSURBAN SERVICE DELIVERYURBAN SERVICESURBANIZATIONUSERUSERSUSESVEHICLE TAXWATER LEVELWEBWEB PAGEWEB PAGESWIRELESSWIRELESS COMMUNICATIONSWIRELESS TECHNOLOGYWorld Bank10.1596/12623
