Enhancing Democracy and Electoral Processes in Mozambique:2022-2025 is a four-year multi-donor UNDP project and builds on previous electoral support and lessons learned as Mozambique enters its next electoral cycle, including the run-up to 2023 Municipality Elections and 2024 General Elections. The project is developed based on the formal request from the Government of Mozambique, the recommendation of the Needs assessment Mission (NAM) conducted by the United Nations on March/April 2021, the international election observers reports on 2019 elections and is aligned to the UNDP Country Programme Document (CPD) and Mozambique Government's Five Year-Plan 2020-2024 (Programa Quinquenal do Governo, PQG).

Through its Strategic Plan, UNDP stresses the importance of consolidating and strengthening democratic processes and institutional practice in Mozambique. Fundamental to these goals is the engagement of citizens as the primary stakeholders in the governance and administration of Mozambique with the aim to achieve complete adherence to the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
