OUTCOME 8: Government and civil society provide coordinated, equitable and integrated services at decentralized level

The Outcome 8 “Government and civil society provide coordinated, equitable and integrated services at decentralized level” is focused on strengthening local governance by supporting the decentralization process as an integral part of the overall Mozambique Governance and Public Sector Reform Programme.

Specifically, the UN system will:

• Strengthen Government and civil society capacities at provincial, district and municipal levels to integrate crosscutting issues into economic and social planning cycles
• Improve the information systems that provide disaggregated data, including age, sex and geographic areas, for planning, monitoring, evaluation, and decision-making at provincial and district levels
• Support selected districts in offering integrated police, protection and justice services for victims of violence and abuse
• Strengthen the civil registration system both at national and decentralized level for increased access to citizenship for the full enjoyment of basic human rights and prevention of statelessness
• Strengthen the government capacities to implement the decentralization policy and improve systems and strategies to enable the implementation.
