Result
Examples of results from the annual report 2022: According to the CIP significant changes occurred in 2022 in improving the relationship between the CIP and public authorities. There was a greater openness to discussion and collaboration, especially with the Ministries of Economy and Finance (MEF), Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME) and the National Petroleum Institute. During the year the CIP also analysed the process of installation of tolls on the approximately 70 kilometres of the Maputo ring road, showing some signs of unconstitutionality (and illegality) in safeguarding the rights of citizens who cannot bear the costs of the use of the Maputo ring road and the concession of public infrastructure to a private company, without public tender, for a period longer than that provided for by law. The CIP also tracked public expenditures and exposed cases of corruption in the Education and Health sectors in three provinces: Nampula, Niassa and Zambézia. Some of the main challenges according to the CIP during the year has been access to information, both on the government side and on the sector side. The armed attacks in Cabo Delgado, have again become a challenge as they limit access to some districts and communities for carrying out activities related to resettlements, allocation of resources from exploration of natural resources, among others.
3.1 Goals The Goals are to: 1. Increase the political involvement of citizens in all process of municipal and general elections. 2. To especially involve young people in the political process and as agents of change, and 3. To ensure transparency as a way to reduce levels of misconduct. 3.2 Objectives & Targets - upgrade of existing programme 1. Reporting of the entire 2023 and 2024 electoral process in all districts, including voter registration, selection of the candidates and parties, voting process, results announcement and post-election follow up. This will involve 200 correspondents in 2023 and 600 in 2024. Al least 100 newsletters per year will be published, with no unverified reports and no fake news. Trust and integrity will be maintained, with more complete reporting than any other media. 2. Special attention to gender and age. At least half of correspondents and half of the Maputo team must be women; most presenters on social media must be women. Many correspondents will be under 35 years. A special effort will be made to find physically disabled correspondents. 3. Training for all correspondents on reporting, accuracy, and use of social media. Recognising that women, young people, and physically disabled people may have less education and experience, additional training and support will be provided if needed. 4. Expand use of community radio and podcasts and increase reporting in local languages. 5. Upgrade the fraud investigating team by increasing early checks and making informal links with university statisticians and elections researchers. 3.3 Objectives & Targets - innovations 1. Stress on municipal elections. 2. Use social media as a way to engage, inform, and promote advocacy and action. Train staff and correspondents to use social media. Use external training and support as needed. 3. Make young voters aware that municipal elections are the ideal field for them to come together and create groups of common interest as citizens, inclduing to stand for Municipal Assemblies. Show that local problems 7 can be better resolved by local citizens and not wait for solutions from national political parties. Raise the confidence of young voters as agents for change. 4. Remind local communities that to be politically active, they do not need to join established political parties and can stand for elections as citizens lists. 5. Create a programme extending beyond elections to support the young activists who are mobilised. This programme must be shaped by local activists themselves and be different in each municipality. This progamme will be based in part on previous work developed by CIP to monitor municipalities. 6. Support parties to make better use of the electoral court system. Assist magistrates with information on their powers. 7. Double parallel count in selected municipalities - watching the count and accuracy of ticks put on the blackboard and recording both the blackboard count and the official results sheet (edital).
