Power of Dialogue Women's rights and gender equality are a cross-cutting issue in addressing many social, political and economic issues. 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. Political parties;
National Parliament;
Provincial Assemblies ;
Civil Society Organisations ;
The diplomatic community.
Women participation in electoral Process 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.)

Recurrence of Acts of Xenophobic Violence in the Republic of South Africa Life in society has almost always been characterized by the co-presence of different cultures and “manifestations of tolerance yet xenophobia have been, since antiquity, a constant mark of interethnic relationship” (Soares, 2001: 34). 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.
Bridging the Gaps - Reinforcing Integrity in Electoral Processes 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).
Prevention of Conflicts in Mozambique 2019 Elections The project was more focused on the practical component and implementation of the tools elaborated in the first phase. 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.
Good Governance and Elections with Integrity 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
