Mueda
Mueda is the largest town of the Makonde Plateau in northeastern Mozambique. It is the capital of the Mueda District in Cabo Delgado Province. It is the center of the culture of the Makondes, and the production of their ebony sculptures.〔Fitzpatrick, Mary (2007) ''Mozambique'' Lonely Planet, Footscray, Victoria, Australia, (page 162 ), ISBN 978-1-74059-188-1〕
==Geography==
Mueda is located on the upland Mueda Plateau, which has a more temperate climate than the coast, but where, because of the permeable sandy soil, water infiltrates to a great depth, making it difficult to supply drinking water.〔West, Harry G. (2001) ''Sorcery of Construction and Socialist Modernization: Ways of Understanding Power in Postcolonial Mozambique'' ''American Ethnologist'' 28(1): pp. 119-150, page 123〕 In about 1970, Portugal, the ruling authority of Mozambique at the time, built a system to supply drinkable water, under the direction of the engineer Canhoto. In the 1980s, after the independence of Mozambique from Portugal, the system was rebuilt by the Mozambican government, with the assistance of UNICEF and Swiss co-operation.〔Cairncross, S. and Cliff, J. (1987) "Water use and health in Mueda, Mozambique" ''Transactions of
the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene'' 81: pp. 51-54〕
