NIMD is a democracy assistance organization that promotes the deepening of democracy through interparty dialogue and capacity strengthening of political parties. With its origins in the Netherlands, NIMD was founded by seven Dutch political parties and works with over 200 political parties in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and South Caucasus. Main donors of NIMD are the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, European Union, Swiss MFA, UNDP, US State Department, supporting the following areas: i) Joint initiatives by parties to improve the democratic system in their country; ii) The institutional development of political parties; and iii) Efforts to improve relations between political parties, civil society and the media. In order to enable the political parties in Mozambique to contribute in an effective way to the democratic reforms, NIMD in Partnership with IMD continued to invest on interparty dialogue platform and direct support for capacity building of parliamentary political parties. 381296 Improving Oversight in Mozambique´s Governance, is a joint project of Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD), Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) and Political Parties of Finland for Democracy (Demo Finland), funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland (MFA), as part of the Ministry´s Country Strategy for Development in Mozambique in 2016-2019. The MFA has made available, on a grant basis and subject to annual parliamentary approval in Finland, a Grant amounting up to a maximum of one million five hundred thousand Euros (EURO 1 500 000) to support the implementation of the Project during the period between 1st of December 2016 and 30th November 2019. The project Improving Oversight of Mozambique´s Governance: has a goal to Strengthening the Role of the Parliament and of Provincial Assemblies in the Oversight of the Extractive Industry Area in Mozambique. The implementing partners in the Project are the following organizations 1. The Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD). 2. Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD). 3. Political Parties of Finland for Democracy – (Demo Finland). 100000 It is Irish Aid´s intention, through its development Cooperation program, to good governance by supporting the development, implementation and monitoring of Electoral process and institutional strengthening of electoral bodies within Mozambique. The support from Ireland to the IMD trough Governance program in Mozambique is in coherence with the objectives of Ireland Country Strategy program for Mozambique executed from 2012 to 2019. The implementing partners in the Project are the following organizations 1. Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD); 2. Political parties of Mozambique; 3. Assembly of the republic and provincial assembly. 43151 The project, Integrity and Peaceful Elections, with financial support from OSISA, has a major implementation challenge because despite the 26th anniversary of the signing of a peace agreement, Mozambique remains a country marked essentially by moments of relative peace and violence, as a result of electoral processes almost always conducted in a climate of distrust. Thus, with the project "Integrity and Peaceful Elections", the AIMD aims to contribute to the monitoring and prevention of potential conflicts that characterized elections in Mozambique. In general, the toolkit clarifies the role of the different actors in the electoral process, as follows: 1. Political parties (proponents) - have the role of participating in the electoral process, civic education / electoral mobilization, and oversight of the electoral process; 2. Electoral Management Body (EMB) - have the role of baking, budgeting, informing and ensuring the electoral process according to the electoral calendar; 3. Civil society organizations - They should contribute to the promotion of democratic rule of law and the revolution of conflicts; 4. Social Communication - can be a source of conflict as well as contribute to its prevention and resolution. They are expected to play their role impartially, citing sources that are credible, sensitive criticism and equal treatment of different actors, serving only as an intermediary. They should avoid sensationalism. According to SADC principles, they should treat the different actors equally, avoid speculation, polling, and disseminate interim results; 5. Constitutional Council (and district courts) - wherever called, can contribute to conflict resolution through swift, impartial, law-based and reasonableness action. 84411 PROGRAM 'SUPPORT FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF DEMOCRACY IN MOZAMBIQUE' CRIS number: 2017 / 040-700, financed under the European Development Fund.

Thus, perceiving the receptivity or repulsion of the people before the presence of foreigners is not a new interest, as Herodotus had already done in the 5th century BC. Cases of xenophobia are not necessarily new in South Africa. According to Landau, Ramjathan-Keogh and Singh (2005), South Africa's domestic policies have always been a source of emigration, starting with Mfecane, going through colonialism, segregationism and the apartheid period, when many left the country - mainly towards neighboring countries - in search of freedom, opportunities or a base of organization in exchange for South Africa. Thus, it can be assumed that the post-apartheid project or the homeland created by Nelson Mandela, the "Rainbow Nation", is a project still far from its success. Although there has been a transition from authoritarianism to democracy, hatred and violence continue to characterize contemporary South Africa (Harris, 2002). The South African people are considered violent in nature. Harris, based on the analysis of various studies, concluded that South African relations and interactions are governed through violence rather than any other peaceful means (ibid .: 11). It is within this context that the Institute for Multiparty Democracy (IMD) in partnership with Joaquim Chissano University (UJC) intends to facilitate the holding of the Symposium to discuss the roots, consequences and proposed responses by the Mozambican State in relation to the acts of violence committed by some South Africans against certain foreigners, particularly Mozambicans. The general objective of the symposium is to discuss the causes, implications and perspectives or models of response by Mozambican society regarding the recurrence of acts of xenophobic violence in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). Specific Objectives: Define the phenomenon that is occurring in the RSA; Identify the causes of violent attacks against foreigners; Describe the moral and material authors of the attacks; List the attacking methods of action; Analyze the implications of the attacks on Mozambique; Discuss models of response of Mozambican society to these phenomenon. Target Audience The meeting will be attended by the following actors: Academics; Politicians; Civil Society Organizations; Journalists; Representatives of the Diplomatic Corps; Private Sector (CTA); General public Expected results Understanding of the ongoing violent phenomenon in the RSA; Identification of the causes of violent attacks against foreigners; Description of the moral and material authors of the attacks; Enumeration of attacking methods of action; Analysis of the implications of the attacks on Mozambique; Discussion of response models of Mozambican society to these phenomenon. Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy -NIMD Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD Moçambique) 3247 MZ-MOJ-100717344-PRJ-RIEP-0002-19 Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD Moçambique) This program is developed with the purpose of supporting the consolidation of electoral democracy in Mozambique. The program results from a consortium between IMD and MediaLab, maximizing and combining the expertise of IMD on supporting Political Parties and Electoral Processes as well as the expertise of MediaLab on supporting the development of community journalism. Although the program's focus will be on the 2019 elections, it also envisages activities to be carried out in the post-election period. This program has been developed in the full awareness of the existence of other initiatives that will be implemented by other organizations. In this sense, the program seeks to be complementary to pre-existing programs and to invest in the gaps not covered, which Domestic Observation Reports of past elections and the EU Observation Report of 2014 point out as critical for integer, credible and peaceful elections. During the 2018 elections the failure of party agents to capture evidences to add to their complaints during the elections clearly demonstrates weaknesses in the parties monitoring systems. On the other hand, although there are visible qualitative and quantitative improvements on the CSO observation mission, there are still some gaps to be covered such as observation of the entire tabulation process from counting, to aggregation and result announcement as well as documentation of the evidences. The purpose of this project is to contribute to increased trust in and the integrity of the Mozambican electoral democracy by fostering transparency and effective electoral justice while deepening democratic governance at local level. The direct target groups that will benefit from the programme are the political parties, Community Journalists and CSOs. With regard to the political parties the capacity building efforts mainly focus on involving leadership, senior party members and technical and policy advisors of the parties. The extra-parliamentary parties will also be invited to participate, in order to ensure an inclusive process. Special attention will be paid to the women and youth leagues of the political parties. This will be done by explicitly inviting women and youth to participate in activities, and by providing them with the opportunity to speak out during discussions. The community journalists are a strong focus group within the program. The journalists will be involved trough the component to be coordinated by Media Lab (see below).

MZ-MOJ-100717344-Good Governance and Elections with Integrity Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD Moçambique) Since the transition to multiparty democracy materialized by the holding of the first general elections of 1994, the country has cyclically organized electoral elections. Experience in conducting electoral processes over the years shows that there are progresses, learnings and challenges for the institutionalization of Mozambican democracy. However, despite the regular conduct of electoral processes, major challenges remain for the credibility of democratic processes. That is, the holding of the elections per se has not been sufficient for the consolidation of electoral democracy. Almost every election has been harshly questioned, whether in the preparatory phase, during and especially in the post-election period. In some cases, conditions for holding elections excite for conflicts that take on military dimensions. Integrity, transparency and fairness in electoral processes are some of the elements that despite efforts remain critical and make the real transition to a consolidated multiparty democracy difficult. to contribute to increase the confidence and integrity of Mozambican electoral democracy, promoting transparency and effective electoral justice; and • to strengthen the role of provincial assemblies ensuring the consolidation and dissemination of experiences and good practices, taking into account the new operational layout of Provincial Assemblies. In the electoral component 1. In the electoral component, IMD's intervention allowed the creation of a more comprehensive electoral observation environment through the operationalization of the Peace Room, combined with the improvement of the quality of observation and reporting of electoral incidences and the use of innovative digital platforms for the provision of electoral information. It should be noted that the Sala da Paz was the first electoral observation platform to publicize the trend in electoral results, 24 hours after the elections. 2. Ultimately, these interventions contributed to building an environment, that somehow, through the powerful intervention of the Peace Room prevented Mozambique from experiencing moments of tension and conflict resulting from non-compliance with electoral legislation and rejection of electoral results. So there were no armed conflicts resulting from the electoral process. In the strengthening of the role of the Provincial Assemblies component 1. Creation of a dialogue platform between the different MAP, MAEFP, civil society in which the lessons and challenges of the implementation and functioning of the PA are reflected on; 2. Provincial Assemblies fortified in terms of relevant tools and instruments to guide the functioning of PAs. 3. Leaders of the Provincial Assemblies trained in the exercise of their functions of regulation and oversight of local government action Embassy of Ireland The activities were planned to start in April 2019 and end in April 2020. Activities started on the agreed date, however the disbursement was slightly delayed. Even though there were delays, IMD was able to carry out activities on schedule.

FINAL ACTIVITY REPORT MZ-MOJ-100717344-Peace Building program Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD Moçambique) The project Women participation in electoral Process seeks to contribute to gender balance in the political party lists for parliament, Provincial Assemblies and governor’s positions ahead of the October general elections 2019. Seeks also to ensure gender sensitive political agenda and manifestos embedded in grassroots interests. The project has two main objectives: • Strengthen the capacity of women to participate in intra-party processes and position them for inclusion in party lists and subsequently in national and provincial governance structures, • Promote the use of artistic and technological platforms to voice women´s interests at grassroots level and influence the manifestos of political parties. The project’s has two objectives unfold in two results to be attained through the implementation of 8 set of activities, comprising: Public launching of the initiative, Development of the CV on women, 3 regional trainings for political parties women candidates, production of music and video clip, training and advocacy material, 3 meetings with leadership political parties. A part of these activities there are non-planned activities under this project, but due to the relevance and complementarity, were implemented in coordination with some local and international Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO.)

In this sense, the project was following the entire election campaign, voting day, counting of results, as well as the dissemination of partial results. In this regard, the IDM continued to gather elements for advocacy in the next revision of the electoral legislation. The election campaign ran with high levels of violence. On the one hand, electoral violence and, on the other, non-electoral violence. It was also evident that the provinces of Nampula, Zambezia, Tete, Gaza and Niassa remained the most violent during the campaign period. IMD as coordinator of the “Peace Room” considers that the incidents that occurred in the election campaign were motivated by: (i) Political intolerance, which still characterizes democratic coexistence in Mozambique. (ii) Some non-compliance with basic road safety measures, as well as where large numbers of members and supporters of political parties gather. (iii) Some perception of impunity and lack of accountability to violators of the law, and (iv) Lack of preparation and guidance of campaigners regarding electoral legislation and elementary issues such as where campaign materials may or may not be fixed. The project goals were met: • Trainings of key actors in the resolution of electoral contents; • Monitoring and observation of the electoral process • Advocacy for the reinforcement of the legal component of electoral content resolution. The political actors (Political parties and coalitions) , electoral bodies, Justice Institutions and others interest groups and voters. During the implemetation the following activities have been successfully carried out: The 3 activities (Trainings of key actors in the resolution of electoral contents, Monitoring and observation of the electoral process, Advocacy for the reinforcement of the legal component of electoral content resolution) had as target groups the various political and electoral actors, namely: electoral observers, political parties, electoral management and administration bodies and civil society, where the common objective of the interventions was to contribute to more peaceful, fair and conflict-free elections. This was achieved through: (i) training of election observers who were allocated to the Electoral Observation Platform - “Peace Room”; (ii) monitoring and observation of the voting process in the 6 provinces elected for observation: Nampula, Zambezia, Sofala, Manica, Tete and Gaza. Thus, for the purpose of communicating to the actors, incidents / occurrences for immediate intervention by the respective organs, the “Peace Room”, coordinated by IMD, issued 3 communiqués during the voting day. As is well known, Mozambican electoral processes are cyclically stained by episodes of violence and it is in this context that advocacy actions have been developed for conflict prevention and resolution. Such interventions were characterized by appeals and recommendations to actors for socially and politically acceptable and dignified conduct. ifa funding Programme zivik The agreement was for financing the election observation in Mozambique, and implemented by IMD Implemented and reports by IMD 71074 27206 First tranche First tranche 30867 Second tranche Second tranche 13000 Third tranche Third tranche 13581 1.

Administrative lump sum in per cent of requested funding FINAL NARRATIVE REPORT SIGNED BUDGET MZ-MOJ-100717344-Strategic Partnership Instituto para Democracia Multipartidária (IMD Moçambique) In 2019, the Government of Mozambique, represented by the President of the Republic, Felipe Nyusi and the Renamo party, represented by their respective president, Ossufo Momade, signed a definitive peace agreement that formalized the end of military hostilities. Such an agreement served as a basis to enable the holding of general and legislative elections and for the Provincial Assemblies on 15 October 2019. These elections, like the other five, were preceded by reforms to electoral legislation. It follows that the 2019 electoral legislation brought about profound changes typical of the growth of Mozambican Young Democracy. Such changes are related to Decentralization. The new form of decentralization, materialized by the election of provincial governors, who now come from the candidacy lists of the competing parties, this being the first in the candidacy list. With the sixth Mozambican electoral process over, the National Elections Commission as well as the Constitutional Council validated the results, giving victory to the Frelimo party and its candidate. Thus, the Frelimo Party passes a qualified majority in the Assembly of the Republic and in the Provincial Assemblies. This electoral process proved to be another opportunity for the State's legal-electoral institutions, as well as the police, to show their electoral management capacity, aware that there are still several challenges to be overcome, naturally parts of the electoral process. State building. The 2019 political-electoral context was very striking, showing that the dominant party policy and the culture of impunity that was felt, as well as the absence of integrated mechanisms for reinforcing and complying with the rules, created space and fertile opportunities for the continuity committing violations of electoral laws and procedures. Currently, the Assembly of the Republic will be formed by the Frelimo bench with 184 seats, Renamo with 60 seats and MDM with 6 seats. Thus and with this scenario, Frelimo's parliamentary bench has a qualified majority, and this situation poses several challenges for the governance process as well as for the decentralization and peace agenda. With this majority, Frelimo will be able to take structural decisions, such as is to make changes to the constitution without needing the other benches. To promote a more consensual, inclusive electoral process, leading to increased integrity of the electoral process and an improved environment for political and civic actors to interact and play their roles in the process. One of the major objectives of the program and to incorporate political actors in society in order to raise and reap the interest of citizens in influencing the formulation of relevant policies and legislation. Improve collaboration between political actors and citizens to influence policy issues related to the national development agenda. The voice and positioning of women and youth in political debates is improved. Political parties Assembly of the Republic Provincial Assembly Parliamentary Woman Women and Youth in Politics Electoral administration bodies Civil society The current parliamentary scenario, brings with it several challenges for Democracy, governance and debate of ideas, and most likely for the political and social stability of the country. In this context, it is noted that the main challenges for the next 5 years of governance are related to the fact that the political environment may be very polarized, characterized by the excessive dominance of the Frelimo party over the elected bodies as well as in the National Commission of Elections. This shows that the opposition's power is greatly reduced, which could make it difficult to express its will in Parliament. • Weak inclusion of opposition parties in the decision-making process through the dictatorship of the majority vote, which may result in a feeling of dissatisfaction and tension among political actors; • Slowdown in the DDR process due to weak collaboration by the Renamo party; • Fragility and progressive fragmentation of opposition parties and consequent loss of members; • Reduced levels of citizen confidence in institutions and governance; • Deceleration of the decentralization process at district level. However, this composition of the Assembly of the Republic also allows for stable governance, with a government that will not need to negotiate with the opposition to transform its electoral manifesto into a governance plan and, thus, conduct its governance. Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) Signing of the agreements took place in December 2018, to start on January 1, 2019. In 2019, activities started on January 15th. The chronological plan was scheduled to end on 12/31 The activities respected the chronological plan.

This contributed to increased awareness on the need to include a rights-based approach not only in the EI, but in the work of the Parliament. The program contributed to debunk the perception that human rights violations occurred only in the relations between citizens and the state/public entities and showed that companies can also pose hazards to human rights. Awareness about environment rights improved, as well as the Parliament’s interventions in this area. With the support of the program, representatives were able to visit the sites and interact with companies and communities that resulted in the temporary closure in order to sort out the environment problems denounced by the population. To contribute to a strong Mozambican governance system in the natural resources sector, supporting transparency, inclusion and accountability.

In the Power of Voices programme, it is intended that matters sensitive to women's civil and political rights are not a cross-cutting issue but the focus of the programme. In Mozambique, the struggle for women's civil and political rights has progressively evolved, and it can be seen from the increase in women's political participation in decision-making bodies such as ministries, state departments, governors as well as institutions democratic institutions such as the Assembly of the Republic and the Provincial Assemblies. The repeated and selfless struggle for equal rights and opportunities between men and women is a sign that women, being a vulnerable group, have not always had equal benefits and inclusion in the country's social, economic and political life, which demands a need for promotion of spaces where women can have a voice to defend and influence for a gender and more inclusive agenda. In the Mozambican context, no one can speak or advocate for development if there is no equal social, political and economic inclusion between women and men and in an environment where everyone can have freedom to express themselves and influence political and decision-making processes in the face of political actors and institutions. Thus, in order to exercise this influence, society's stakeholders, especially women, must be equipped with sufficient tools and capacities to exercise their constitutional rights and freedoms without fear and in an environment in which differences are accepted, regardless only sex, religion, place of birth, age, social position or level of education, physical characteristics or other form of discrimination. The ultimate goal of the PoD Programme is to promote peaceful democratic space and inclusive, responsive and representative political decision-making at all levels. IMD and NIMD have been doing this for years in Mozambique and will continue to do so under this programme through the strategic Programme objective to aim for Political and civic actors to collaborate, influence and participate in legitimate, transparent and accountable political processes. We have contextualized this objective to the Mozambican context and to fit the IMD and NIMD joint programme portfolio. We have chosen to specifically focus on promoting women in politics which leads to the following strategic programme objective: Political and civic actors collaborate, participate and influence the position and engagement of women in political processes in Mozambique.

Social inequalities, the feeling of exclusion in accessing public services, unemployment, partisanship and lack of confidence in democratic institutions and political intolerance are among the factors adverse to the consolidation of political pluralism. This situation has placed the country and local communities in a condition of vulnerability to conflicts, particularly affecting the poorest and young people, girls and women. Indeed, in recent years, the country has been plunged into cyclical political-electoral crises that led to successive military tensions between the years 2012/14 and 2015/17, pitting the armed forces of the Renamo party against the government military forces. To aggravate the conflict situation, since 2017 the northern region of the country, precisely in the province of Cabo-Delgado, has suffered armed attacks by unknown extremist groups. Local leaders with knowledge, skills and abilities to understand and manage local dynamics of conflict and social, economic and political exclusion; Local structures and initiatives for dialogue for peace, reconciliation and inclusive development reinforced and replicated at the level of communities at risk; Local governments adopting inclusive governance practices based on the principles of transparency, consultation, accountability and involvement of vulnerable groups in decision-making with a focus on youth and women; FINN CHURCH AID (FCA) Activities are expected to start in January 2021 There was a delay in the start of activities, which only started in March 2021, due to certain discussions in the agreement with the Implementation partners.

The Mozambican parliament currently has few Members of Parliament (MPs) under the age of 35 and although all parliamentary parties have active youth wings and quotas for youth, their voices are often not heard in critical debates. From the previous legislature to the current legislature, the representation of young people in parliament has decreased from 40 to 17 people. The project Academy for Young Politicians will strengthen the knowledge, skills and capacities of young leaders of political parties’ leagues through a comprehensive training program of democracy schools, in order to enhance quantitative and qualitative youth representation in parliament and other representation structures.To build capacities and resources for effective political participation of young politicians on the consolidation of Mozambican multiparty democracy through training, dialogue and collaborative work. 1)Improve capacity of young politicians, youth leagues and civic activists and, hence the overall political party to engage in political processes.2)Foster dialogue and connection among young politicians, civil society and local authorities across the political divide. The project's target group are young people between 18 and 35 years of age.

Key achievements included Access to Justice and Human Rights Fairs in Boane, Meconta and Metuge; the provision of legal assistance and civil documentation services; and human rights monitoring initiatives focusing on displaced women and girls in Cabo Delgado.The Programme also facilitated high-level dialogues on gas projects, local economic participation, and the Women, Peace and Security agenda, contributing to the approval of the Second National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.Key Result: Strengthened the capacity of public institutions and civil society organisations to promote access to justice, institutional accountability, and the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly communities affected by the conflict in Cabo Delgado. The 2025 programmatic exercise marked a qualitative leap in the materialisation of the Promoting Access to Justice (PAJ) Program, consolidating itself as a robust institutional response sensitive to the crisis context affecting the provinces of Cabo Delgado and Nampula. The operationalisation of the delegations of the Ombudsman's Office and the National Human Rights Commission in Pemba represented more than just a physical expansion; it signified the re-establishment of the State's presence as a guarantor of rights in areas of extreme vulnerability.Through proximity justice, the program succeeded in breaking the silence of populations that, until then, remained invisible to the formal system, transforming community grievances into legal processes of reparation and dignity. The effectiveness of the PAJ in 2025 lay in its ability to coordinate a complex network of actors, from the Office of the Female Parliamentarian and central Government instances to religious leaders and community journalists at the grassroots. This synergy allowed the protection of displaced women and girls to evolve from a fragmented agenda into a transversal imperative in public policies and real-time human rights monitoring.
