population. By 2015, the Mozambique Government intends to expand basic sanitation from 45% to 60% of the population. 195. As part of the target set for sustainable access to potable water in rural areas by 2015, more than 2,212 water points have either been built or rehabilitated, serving about 1,081,500 people. Under new management, four water supply systems now serve 714,532 people. There are 19,913 water points throughout the country. Of these, 16,993 are operational serving 7,990,239 people. This corresponds to a 54% coverage ratio. In urban areas, 35,144 households have been connected to the water supply grid. A total of 171 water fountains have either been built or rehabilitated in suburban areas, serving 2,982,554 people. This represents a 60% coverage ratio. It has been estimated that by 2010, about 70% of the urban population will have access to drinking water. 196. Regarding basic sanitation, the target for coverage in rural areas in 2015 has been set at 50%. About 16,406 improved latrines have been built, covering 40% of these areas. 197. With regard to urban areas, the target for sanitation coverage in 2015 has been set at 80%. The sanitation system is currently being rehabilitated, including sewage systems, septic tanks, and storm water drainage systems. A total of 6,793 improved latrines have been built in suburban areas, followed by hygiene and sanitation awareness campaigns. The coverage ratio for urban sanitation currently stands at 50.2%. Municipalities have played a key role in this regard. 198. Article 94 of the CRM enshrines the right to intellectual property as follows: “1. Every citizen shall have the right to freedom of scientific, technical, literary and artistic creativity. 2. The State shall protect rights related to intellectual property, including copyrights, and shall promote the practice and dissemination of arts and letters”. 187.Although enshrined in the Constitution, the effective implementation of intellectual property rights remains a major challenge to the government. The debate about these rights, in particular the protection of copyrights, is relatively new. Important progress has been made in this area, including the strengthening of the legal framework. Specifically, the Copyright and Ancillary Rights Law (Law № 4/2001 of 27 February) was to a certain extent outdated and has since been revised and the respective rules of procedure adopted. The rights of those who produce literary, artistic or scientific work are now protected. 188.Another remarkable achievement in the protection of artistic and literary creativity was the establishment of the Mozambique Authors Association (SOMAS). In addition to protecting authors’ rights, SOMAS is the venue through which its members promote their work and discuss matters of common interest. 189.Property rights involves major challenges, including: Combined Report from the Republic of Mozambique to the ACHPR, 1999-2010 34
