Thus \u201cMore Integrity\u201d, in the light of this memorandum, promises to undertake election observation and advocacy in order to encourage Mozambicans to take part in the elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, this is a very important opportunity to work with the electoral bodies, more specifically with the CNE, to try to assist in a constructive and collaborative manner so that, at the end of this electoral cycle, we can make a positive assessment, an assessment that is beneficial to all stakeholders, and to all Mozambicans\u201d, said Edson Cortez.<\/p>\n<p>The consortium, which will observe the elections throughout the country, consists of seven civil society organisations \u2013 namely CIP, the Mozambican chapter of MISA (Media Institute of Southern Africa), the Episcopal Commission of the Catholic Church, the Civil Society Learning and Training Centre (CESC), Solidarity of Mozambique, the Forum of Associations of Disabled People (FAMOD), and NAFEZA (Nucleus of Women\u2019s Associations of Zambezia).<\/p>\n<p>The consortium was set up in 2022, with the fundamental goal of contributing to the transparency and integrity of the 2023 and 2024 elections. It hopes to produce credible public information and analyses about the various phases of the elections, encouraging the participation of citizens and contributing to the reduction of electoral tensions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/CNE.STAE.Mocambique\/posts\/pfbid036YsbNyFZDp2EkLP1Hcp33P9pN5ExpfLznJYG52ufXzR4zMX1yLUTvBLJYGLHknSWl\"><b>Facebook Post click here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
