| Summary: | In post-conflict Mozambique, over a
period of roughly twelve years, we witnessed an amazing
economic turnaround. There has been a reversal from a GDP
growth of minus 8 percent, to one of plus 8.2 percent. This
was due mainly to a successful capacity development program
that relied on the participation of all sectors-government,
private sector, civil society, and international donors. The
Note provides a summary of the Prime Minister of Mozambique
- Ms. Luisa Diogo - presentation at the Capacity Matters -
Operational Implications Conference, held in Washington,
D.C., on June 8, 2005. She highlights the measures of
success above all require economic growth to improve living
standards; then strengthening institutions, followed by
growth of the private sector, and the involvement of civil
society. Most importantly community development t, i.e., the
basis for the country's capacity development. |
