The APRM Process in Mozambique
07 November 2011
The report tracks Mozambique’s progress since it acceded to the APRM process in March 2003 up to when it was eventually peer reviewed in June 2009. The authors, Marcello Mosse, director of Centre for Public Integrity and Jonas Pohlmann, associate researcher at the institute for Social and Economic studies in Mozambique, argue that whilst the challenges faced by Mozambique is not new to APRM member states, the Country Review Reports and the National Programmes of Action, are comprehensive documents that the government should utilise in its policy making processes. This should include a wide dissemination to stakeholders, so as to enable civil society to monitor implementation of promises made in these documents, which aim to govern the populace well, and empower the citizenry to hold government to account. They urge the government of Mozambique to show political will and act upon the pronouncements made in their National Programme of Action document to ensure that governance is strengthened and democracy is deepened, by addressing corruption, and promoting plural participation in public institutions and processes as well as reducing over dependency on foreign aid.
