Abstract

This paper is entitled "Analysis of civil society participation in the formulation of the Motor Vehicle and Trailer Transportation Regulations in the Municipality of Maputo: The Case of the Mozambican Federation of Road Workers' Associations (2009-2019)." It fits within the context of theoretical discussions on models of democratic participation, specifically the deliberative democracy model. This is basic, explanatory, and qualitative research. To achieve the objectives proposed in this paper, the hypothetical-deductive method was used as the approach; for technical procedures, case studies or monographs were used. Regarding research techniques, bibliographic and documentary research was used, and finally, semi-structured interviews. Regarding the theoretical framework, the classic Sherry R scale and the theory of deliberative democracy were used, which advocates for civil society in the governance and decision-making process. Based on the analysis carried out, it was concluded: Fematro has explored forms of participation, such as demonstrations. In the development of the RTVAR, its participation was not effective, merely didactic. The CM participates in all three phases, and Fematro participates in the first phase. Considering the scale developed by Armsten, it can be stated that Fematro's participation in the process of developing the Motor Vehicle and Trailer Transportation Regulations can be explained from the intermediate level.
