Mozambique has serious problems with its governance and anti-corruption framework. Government accountability (executive, legislative, judicial) and the civil service are all rated as very weak. Voting is generally inclusive, but lack of election monitoring mechanisms and regulations for political financing make for very weak elections in Mozambique. No laws limit individual or corporate donations to candidates and political parties and there are no limits on political party expenditure. Additionally, there is no law requiring disclosure of donations, auditing or oversight of the political financing process. Whistleblower protections are generally ineffective.
