MOZAMBIQUE In terms of the sequence of the process, there were, as always, three basic phases: y The first phase consisted of sending letters to organisations with one or more requests for information of public interest. The subject matter of the requests sent to the organisations was formulated according to relevance and topicality in terms of public interest. All information request letters were sent on 23 and 24 June 2020. A period of 21 working days was allowed for responses before closing this phase, according to the legislation, therefore, on 22 of July 2020. y While waiting for responses to the requests for information, an analysis was done of each organisation’s website. We monitored not only how often information was updated, but also the relevance of information and documents made available online. As part of this process, we checked if the organisations were on social media and how relevant their use of the platform was. y Lastly, semi-structured interviews were conducted at all organisations with those responsible for information management or other people designated for the task. During the interviews, note was taken of where information was stored and of the designated spaces for perusal of documents.
