Mozambique action between the government and society dictated the need to reflect around a public policy on access to information. Mozambique has become one of the small group of African countries with an Access to Information Law, an important instrument for the promotion of open government and inclusion of citizens in the management of public affairs. Around the Right to Information Law, 2015 saw progress on many aspects, thanks to pressure from civil society driven by IBIS, the Danish non-governmental organisation that works for the empowerment of civil society and the disadvantaged, which joined its partners in the public dialogue on the document at national level to improve the text of the proposed law. Civil society organisations, members of the Coalition Right of Access to Information, IREX, Sekelekani, Misa-Mozambique, the Bar Association of Mozambique, supported by IBIS through the Access to Information (AI) programme, as part of the Actions for Inclusive and Responsible Govern- ance (AGIR) programme, held conferences and discussions at national level to debate the scope of the Right to Information Law and the need to guarantee full rights to information of public interest and to promote open, public administration and political participation of citizens. A number of civil society organisations in the AI programme partnership dedicated themselves to the process, especially entrusting to the Human Rights Centre Association (ACDH) the role of technical expert to the parliamentary committee responsible for reviewing the draft of the Right to Information Law (RIL). The importance of the debate was that it raised awareness of the need to consolidate the rule of democratic law and that the draft Law was a product of national consensus because it followed the United Nations Charter on Human Rights, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and other international instruments that set their specific standards. After ten long years of waiting, the Assembly of the Republic of Mozambique, on November 26, 2014, approved the RIL by acclamation. Thus Mozambique has become one of the small group of African countries with an Access to Information Law, an important instrument for the promotion of open government and inclusion of citizens in the management of public affairs. The approval of the RIL was an improvement of the legal framework pertaining to the fulfilment of the constitutional right to information enshrined in Article 48, on freedom of the press and of expression.Regulation of the Right to Information Law The Law of the Right to Information en- So This is Democracy? 2015 45
