Hintergrund | Mozambique is suffering from particularly high levels of corruption and ranks within the bottom 20% of all Sub-Saharan countries measured in the Corruption perception index. The current Government under president Nyusi has put the fight against corruption on the top of its Agenda. The revelation in 2016 of the so-called illegal debt case and the subsequent economic and political crisis has put pressure on Mozambican State entities to deliver results with regards to combatting corruption. The judiciary Sector however still lacks of capacity and political independence specifically when it comes to grand corruption. Civil society with the Centre for Public integrity at the forefront has managed to increase their space for lobbying and advocacy. When it comes to grand corruption and highly sensitive cases they continue however to face constraints. Solid alliance building at national and international level as well as an increased focus towards a collaborative approach through improved multi-stakeholder dialogue with government and the private Sector is key for future success.Mozambique’s existing institutional set-up and legal framework to tackle corruption, economic crimes and the seizure of assets is still deficient with regards to overall coherence and international judicial co-operation in criminal matters. Given expected increased of investments linked to natural resource exploitation corruption risks are likely to increase in the coming years. |
