The CNDH has been developing actions that fall within its mandate, which aim to strengthen society in general to be sensitive and aware about aspects related to human rights, to become increasingly capable of claiming their rights together, and to sensitize, advocate and orient the operate of decision makers and law/judicial services providers.
UNDP is a key partner of the Mozambique CNDH in Mozambique. Through the project “Strengthening Access to Justice and Human Rights in Mozambique 2018-2021”, UNDP has been supporting the CNDH in expediting its monitoring functions and to enlarge its range of accessibility and knowledge by the Mozambique population through, inter alia, the deployment of members of the CNDH and its technical team in the provinces of Mozambique. These interventions are critical to foster the protection of human rights in Mozambique, in the light of the current human rights situation in the country and the fact that the Commission currently only has a presence in Maputo.
The wishes for an effective CNDH, which can more insistently lead the human rights agenda in the country, passes necessarily for the development of its internal institutional and technical capacities. Under these auspices, UNDP has also supported the CNDH in the elaboration of its Strategic Plan and Communication Strategy, normative framework which set the auspices of this institution and a set of priority actions.
One of the priorities set forth by the CNDH is to enlarge its outreach capacity to citizens and public institutions. This process aims at raising awareness of citizens, in particular those living in remote areas and therefore distant from the Commission, on the role of this institution, its responsibilities and accessibility channels. The limitations set forth by the onset of COVID-19 have also raised the burden for the CNDH. Under these auspices, UNDP has been supporting the CNDH under the framework of the “Strategic Plan in Response to COVID-19” which has contributed to strengthen the infrastructure of the
CNDH with a view on ensuring continuation of services and adopt strategic solutions to increase its capacity to attend citizens’ demand.
Under these auspices, with the support of UNDP Mozambique and within the framework the project “Strengthening Access to Justice and Human Rights in Mozambique 2018-2021”, the CNDH intends to seek for a specialized support to revise its Website with a view on providing alternative, innovative mechanisms which foster, accessibility to the services, outreach capacity and disclosure of the work of the CNDH.
