The Mozambican Association for the Development of Democracy (AMODE) was formed in 1997 as a non-party, non-profit organization to promote civic education and participation in local elections. AMODE works to ensure citizens' rights and improve governance through representation in eight provinces. It partners with organizations like NDI, NIMD, and EISA to support civic participation, electoral processes, and democratic culture in Mozambique. Specifically, AMODE conducts voter education, monitors elections, and mobilizes citizens to participate in local government through accountability initiatives.
