Mozambique has risen five places to 142nd in the latest Corruption Perception Index (CPI), compiled by the non-governmental organisation Transparency International, with 26 points on a scale ranging from zero to 100, according to a report released on Tuesday that in particular warns of a lack of institutional leadership in the armed forces.

This year’s index highlights the fact that in Mozambique, as in several other Sub-Saharan African countries, the armed forces are poorly governed.

“The lack of good leadership constrains the way they deal with security challenges and their vulnerability to corruption undermines state responses,” the NGO argues in its report accompanying the 2022 index.

Over the last five years, Mozambique has gained three points; in the last 10 years it has lost five points.

The CPI was created by Transparency International in 1995 and since then has been a benchmark in the analysis of the phenomenon of corruption, based on the perception of experts and business executives on the levels of corruption in the public sector.

It is a composite index, that is, it results from the combination of corruption analysis sources developed by other independent organisations, and ranks 180 countries and territories from 0 (perceived as very corrupt) to 100 points (very transparent).

In 2012, the organisation revised the methodology used to construct the index to allow for comparison of scores from one year to the next.
