Mozambican Civil Society Within: Evaluation, Challenges, Opportunities and Action
The process in Mozambique was extremely participatory and involved a wide variety of grass
roots actors, women’s and youth organizations, informal organisations, political parties, the
private sector, academic institutions and the government, among others. This proactive
involvement of a variety of different stakeholders in the CSI ensured a sense of ownership in the
country and a shared commitment to laying the foundations for civil society’s successful
resolution of its inherent weaknesses.
This publication marks the beginning of a long process where civil society consolidates and
rethinks its strategy and how it works. This report is thus a tool for CSOs, government, the
private sector and development partners. It can be used to build an agenda together and to set
targets for strengthening Mozambican civil society in the future.
