Introduction
The Public Administration of any country and at any time has as its objective the fundamental
satisfaction, through its bodies and services, of the collective needs of the respective issues.
There are several scholars who have dedicated themselves to the design of an administration
model that makes it possible to pursue that desire with the use of the fewest possible resources
and the least possible time expenditure, that is, the satisfaction of collective needs efficiently
and effectively.
This presentation is part of the curricular seminars of the degree course in Public
Administration at the Catholic University of Mozambique, Faculty of Social and Political
Sciences – Gurué Extension and aims to specifically identify the main problems of
organization and functioning of Mozambican public administration , specifically the same
intention of diagnosing the Mozambican public service, analyzing functional dysfunctions
based on the Global Strategy for Public Sector Reform and envisioning a public
administration that seeks its foundations in the managerial model.

Basic concepts
Public Administration
Taking a look at the existing literature on the subject, it is noted that there is no single
definition of this concept, although there is convergence in some aspects that form the basis of
the concept. To support this statement, this work presents some definitions that were produced
by various authors in this area of science and knowledge.
According to the same author, Public Administration is the typical activity of public services
and administrative agents in the general interest of the community, with a view to regularly
and continuously satisfying collective needs for security, culture and well-being, obtaining the
most appropriate resources for this purpose. and using the most convenient ways”.
Public Administration is understood in a double sense: organic sense and material sense. In
the organic sense, public administration is the system of bodies, services and agents of the
State and other public entities that aim to continuously satisfy collective needs.
In 2006, during the II phase of implementation of the EGRSP, the following maxim was
adopted: The employee - Serving the Citizen better and better.

In 2011, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Kamalesh Sharma, on a visit to
Mozambique and in an audience with the public service minister, considered that the
Mozambican Public Administration was still “closed”, advising the Government to carry out
further reforms to “better serve the Mozambican people”.
Chichava (2012) said that our challenge is to strengthen civil society through very serious
debates in our work sectors, in our political organizations, etc. We have, I think, to lead our
leaders to the spirit of democracy, dialogue and responsibility.
Preliminary data from the Census carried out in 2007 indicated the existence of 169,701 State
employees and agents, of which: 24.2% had a basic education level or lower and only 8.49%
had a higher education level; 9. 852
held leadership and management positions at various levels. Of those holding management
and leadership positions, 25.64% had a higher education degree; 67.97% have a secondary
level (general and technical) and 6.39% have a basic level.
The majority of employees with higher education tend to be concentrated in large cities
(capitals of the country and provinces).
The definition of the district as a development hub, the purposes of decentralization and
deconcentration transform this situation into a challenge that must be faced.
The Advisors of Agenda 2025, a document emanating from civil society, recognize that the
“Country needs a strong and active State and requires competent governance” and define that,
on the way to the year 2025, efforts must lead to a “Country with capable and efficient
governance, decentralized, transparent, with government stability that preserves institutional
memory and with a high capacity for drafting and implementing policies”.
Therefore, it is fair to ask: Does the Mozambican Public Administration offer quality public
services to citizens?
V. A public administration focused on citizens, improving the quality of public services and
improving administrative responses offered to society
The 2025 Agenda is categorical in considering that “institutions must be structured so that the
change in government body holders does not create ruptures or impede the pursuit of ongoing
8
policies, projects and actions”, and advocates in favor of promoting a “culture of State and
depersonalization of public institutions”
The failure to clearly define the role of the public sector in relation to the private sector and
civil society, particularly with regard to the definitions of public policies, the regulation and
regulation of relations in society, as well as the resolution of conflicts arising from its own
functioning. The incomplete institutionalization of responsibilities and mechanisms and forms
of participation of organizations and representatives of civil society, particularly rental
communities, as well as the private sector in the management of issues of public interest.
To achieve these objectives, profound changes are planned in the management and training of
human resources, in the structures and procedures for service provision, in the public policy
management process and in budget programming and financial management.
9
An extremely important example that is being implemented in this sense is the “PARPA
Observatory”, through which the Government listens to society and incorporates contributions
that aim to improve working methods in the formulation and monitoring of public policies.
In addition to improving financial management itself, the new legislation also incorporates
accountability mechanisms that will be the basis for greater transparency and accountability.
In this sense, the Regulation for Contracting Public Works and the Supply of Goods and
Provision of Services to the State (The Procurement Regulation) is up for approval, as a way
of providing greater transparency in the State's relationship with economic agents and others.
individuals.

Good Governance and Combating Corruption
The phenomenon of corruption is another side of the coin that devastates the public sector and
has high economic costs, because it contributes to the retraction of investments, as it consists
of the illicit use of public resources for private purposes. Within the public sector it flourishes
with a lack of transparency, excessive bureaucracy, procedures with excessive and complex
structures.
However, within the public sector it flourishes where there is a lack of transparency,
excessive bureaucracy, and overly complex procedures and structures. For this reason, the
fight against corruption naturally follows from the positive changes that are made in the
structures and procedures for providing services, in the professionalization of Public
Administration, and modernization in the management and development of human resources,
in the management of public policies and in financial management. and improving
accountability mechanisms.

Conclusions
From this elaboration it can be concluded that despite the efforts and political will of the
Government of Mozambique, many problems with the organization and functioning of the
Public Administration still persist, which constitute authentic challenges at the moment and
for the next 14 years. These can be grouped into structural and functional problems.
To address this situation, the Government approved a long-term strategy, the Public
Administration Reform and Development Strategy 2012-2025 (ERDAP), with the
fundamental objective of continuing with reforms, in a more integrated way in public sector
activities.
