Mozambican Civil Society Within: Evaluation, Challenges, Opportunities and Action
3.2. ENVIRONMENT
Analyzing the political, social, economic, cultural and legal Environment and also the attitudes
and behaviour of public and private sector actors towards Mozambican civil society, the CSI
research showed that it obtained the best score of the four dimensions, albeit a minimum
improvement and with indications of enormous challenges.
Figure 3.2.1 shows that the average score in the evaluation of the environment dimension is
1.2. The most visible obstacles to a satisfactory situation are relations between civil society and
both the state and the private sector.
