Os conselhos consultivos locais como estratégia de consolidação da governança participativa em Moçambique: o caso do conselho consultivo do distrito de Angoche.

Abstract

This text analyzes the factors that influence the functioning of the advisory board of the district of Angoche and the consolidation of participatory governance, highlighting the contribution of democratic theory, approaches to institutional performance, civic community in rapport with civic associations and capital stock. Analyzing the advisory boards as human institutions, the text assumes that the higher the capacity to implement the mechanisms of participatory governance by the government and citizens combined with the political will and the dialectic between theory and practice of governance processes the greater the efficiency in the functioning of these organs and even greater the effectiveness of public policies implemented through them. And it is concluded that for this to work is indispensable a mobilized civil society, a democratic power structure at all levels; consolidated and autonomous councils; and councils qualified technically, institutionally and politically. This is so that participatory processes are included in & "virtuous circle".
