Mozambique

 

Mozambique is considered to have had a successful war-to-peace transition. The challenges facing Mozambique in its efforts to consolidate political reforms in its new democratic system and institutions are great. Guaranteeing effective democratic institutions and processes to consolidate reform for an enabling environment of sustainable growth requires a greater balance in the partnership of government and civil society over the political, social, and economic life of citizens than is present in Mozambique.

 

ADF’s two-year Civil Society Proposing Policy Alternatives Project – known by its Portuguese acronym of PROPOR – came to a successful conclusion in June 2000. PROPOR provided civil society groups the means to develop and offer opinions, points of view and concrete proposals for political reforms that promote a consolidation of democratic transition in Mozambique.
