Mozambican Civil Society Within: Evaluation, Challenges, Opportunities and Action 3.4.1.2 Civil Society Impact on Public Social Policies Roughly two-thirds of the people interviewed during the INOSC07 feel that civil society has been slightly or moderately active in the social policy field, while 21% think it has been very active and 11% inactive. As regards civil society’s influence in the social policy field, the perception of most respondents oscillates between “slight success” (37%) and “satisfactory success” (38%). Both “very successful” and “no success” received an equal percentage, 12% each.

Roughly 38% of the people interviewed feel that civil society has not been very active, 27% feel it has been moderately active and only 8% acknowledge strong activism, compared to 27% who think that CSOs are inactive. As regards civil society influence in the field of financial policies the perception of most respondents is that it is weak, followed by “no success” (31%), 18% “moderate impact” and less than 10% “significant impact”. 88 Civil Society Index, Mozambique 2007

It received a score of 0.5, indicating limited capacity to achieve these objectives. Table 3.4.2 summarizes the scores of the respective indicators. TABLE 3.4.2: Indicators for evaluating accountability Ref. # Indicators Score 4.2.1 Holding the State Accountable 1.0 4.2.2 Holding Private Corporations Accountable 0.0 3.4.2.1 Holding the State Accountable Control over public expenditure saw no (24%) or little (36%) activism by civil society. There are isolated voices, of both CSOs and analysts or some independent media. But judging by the perceptions of most of the CSOs who responded to INOSC07 actions were unsuccessful (34%) or had limited success (47%). In the NAG it was stressed that the state treats CSOs as an extension of itself or as an auxiliary, leading to psychological dependency that does not help effective monitoring and holding members of the public administration and the government accountable.
