Building a Code of Principles, Ethics and Conducts in Mozambique

Civil society organizations (CSOs) in Mozambique had been discussing the need and importance of creating an instrument through which they measure the challenges of their own growth and the demands of the society in which they act. The discussions have resulted in this Code of Principles, Ethics and Conduct which was formulated by and for Mozambican CSOs in 2014. The document also includes a practical monitoring guide for compliance.
