Participação política da Organização dos Trabalhadores de Moçambique – Central Sindical (OTM-CS) na elaboração da política de emprego em Moçambique

Abstract

This study falls within the context of participatory democracies, which advocate the political participation of civil society and ordinary citizens in the resolution of public affairs. We restrict our unit of analysis to the OTM-CS in order to reflect on its role in employment policy-making. To carry out the study, we draw on historical neo institutionalism where we find that the Government structures the objectives of public policy policy and defines the form of participation of civil society in the elaboration of public policies. As for data collection, we used the semi-structured interview technique where we selected and identified two actors: the OTM-CS and the MTESS. opinions we adopted the content analysis method which allowed us to analyse and interpret the messages and opinions of our interviewees. As a method of approach, we used the hypothetical-deductive method which consisted in constructing the starting question: to what to what extent is the development of public policies influenced by the participation of civil society? and also, to what extent was the elaboration of the employment policy influenced by the participation of the Organização dos Trabalhadores de Moçambique - Central Sindical (OTM- CS)? CS)? And, based on the evidence of the study, we find that the employment policy results from the interaction between Government; OTM-CS and CTA and that it reflects the interests identified identified interests from the drafting to the implementation phase.
