<strong>Mid</strong>-<strong>Term</strong> <strong>Review</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>AGIR</strong> <strong>Programme</strong><br />

The Embassy <strong>of</strong> Sweden initiated <strong>the</strong> ‘Action <strong>Programme</strong> for Inclusive and Responsible Governance’ (<strong>AGIR</strong>) in Mozambique in 2010<br />

in <strong>the</strong> effort to streng<strong>the</strong>n civil society organizations. The mid-term review team found that <strong>the</strong> <strong>AGIR</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> is progressing<br />

well in streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> civil society organizations with which it works. Its application <strong>of</strong> ‘good-donorship’ principles is well<br />

received and has added value to <strong>the</strong> programme’s approach. Although <strong>the</strong>re are some capacity training challenges and a struggle<br />

to find an effective M&E system, <strong>AGIR</strong> has good potential to succeed in attaining <strong>the</strong> objective <strong>of</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> internal capacity<br />

and in creating <strong>the</strong> conditions for self-sustainability among <strong>the</strong> civil society organizations with which it works. Using its<br />

experiences with <strong>the</strong> <strong>AGIR</strong> programme as <strong>the</strong> touchstone for ongoing discussions, The Swedish Embassy should also play a more<br />

visible role in <strong>the</strong> donor community regarding <strong>the</strong> benefits <strong>of</strong> a “good donorship” approach for civil society streng<strong>the</strong>ning.<br />
