Decentralization, attributes to the lower echelons of government, competencies to identify and solve problems of local development. Several studies carried out in this area indicate that the Consultative Councils Places are a good bet by the government of Mozambique. The results of this analysis were based on semi-structured interviews, through bibliographic and documentary analysis. You data on the ground show that although there are Advisory Councils in this Locality, their performance is still very poor and local communities are not satisfied with the current conjuncture. There is a lack of consistency in both the composition and the functioning of the Matsequenha Local Advisory Councils. Based on the perspective functionalist and neo-institutionalism, the present work analyzes the composition and the functioning of the Matsequenha Consultative Councils. It was concluded that there is no consistency in the level of interaction between the advisory councils and the local community which calls into question the level of community participation. Regarding the results of the seven million, an area that the Consultative Councils have the competence to decide to grant this value, they are still far from the expectations of the community in relation to this fund. It should be noted that the Matsequenha Consultative Councils have their attention turned to the Investment Budget Local Initiative or FDD and as a result of this reality there is no given attention to other aspects of local development, understood as crucial in the participatory governance.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
