Implementing public policies in Mozambique

The dominant political system in the capitalist world, democracy, is still facing serious problems in its consolidation. It has not yet been able to combat poverty. Since the 1960s, many strategies have been adopted to alleviate people's suffering, but they don't seem to have the desired effect. Antidotes must be found to combat poverty in the world. We need public policies focussed on local realities and involving the actors themselves. The so-called poor must be at the centre of all initiatives, but not as mere beneficiaries, but rather as subjects of all actions. Social capital must play a fundamental role in the ownership of the problem by those who suffer. They need to have a voice, an opinion, a desire and dreams. Only then can they take charge of events by feeling part of the action. Mozambican public policies need to be analysed in depth, from their development to their implementation and evaluation. The desire to contribute to an ever better future remains.
