Construction of the largest school in Cabo Delgado province, in northern Mozambique, with capacity for 4,500 students, has been at a standstill for two months due to the suspension of USAID activities imposed by US President Donald Trump.
“The work has come to a standstill. It’s at around 60, 65 percent. And we’re waiting for an official announcement,” said Cabo Delgado’s provincial director of education, Ivaldo Quincardete. The Maringanha Secondary School, in Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado, opened in June 2023. It has 36 classrooms for 4,500 students and an investment of more than 200 million meticais, financed by the US development agency USAID.
