On Wednesday (26), the Centre for Public Integrity (CIP) submitted a letter to the Presidency of the Republic, addressed to Daniel Chapo, requesting that the organization be included in the Technical Commission for Inclusive National Dialogue on constitutional, legislative and governance reforms, in line with the Terms of Reference signed by the President of the Republic and the representatives of the Political Parties with seats in Parliament, the Provincial and Municipal Assemblies, on March 5, in Maputo City.

In the document, which was also sent to the nine parties that signed the terms of reference for information, the CIP highlights its areas of expertise, namely electoral observation; decentralized governance; reforms in the justice sector, in the legal and institutional framework and in the accountability of actors involved in corruption cases; and public finances.

CIP bases its interest in taking part in the Inclusive National Dialogue on the fact that the organization has contributed to the fight against corruption and clientelism, the main cause of poverty among Mozambicans. It has argued that the solution to Mozambicans' problems involves observing and promoting the values and principles of political ethics, transparency and integrity.

The Non-Governmental Organization believes it makes sense to participate in the dialogue as long as the issues proposed for reform closely coincide with the organization's areas of work.
