Mozambican Civil Society Within: Evaluation, Challenges, Opportunities and Action
3.3. Values
On the whole, the score for values shows that civil society in Mozambique has invested very
little in promoting and practicing values, other than the eradication of poverty that has a score
way above average (2). The sub-dimensions of tolerance and non-violence also have an average
or satisfactory score.
However, the transparency, gender equity and equity in diversity variables have a score of less
than 1.0, that is, quite low. The democracy and environmental sustainability indicators are also
low, with a score of 1.0 each.
