Os autores deste artigo situam-se numa perspectiva analítica que define o clientelismo em África como um recurso potencial para a participação e responsabilização política, a fim de reflectir sobre a lógica da descentralização em Moçambique nas condições do falhanço social e económicodo projecto revolucionário da Frelimo. Nos últimos quinze anos, desde que se introduziu um programa de reajustamento estrutural sob os auspícios do FMI e do Banco Mundial, Moçambique tem estado a tentar desmantelar o seu altamente centralizado processo político, num contexto em que o auxílio ao desenvolvimento tem registado uma influência crescente no funcionamento das instituições do Estado. Les auteurs de cet article se situent dans une perspective analytique qui définit le clientelisme en Afrique come une ressource potentielle pour la participation et responsabilisation politique, pour réfléchir dans cette perspective sur la décentralization au Moçambique dans les conditions de la faillite sociale et économique du project révolutionnaire de la Frelimo. Dans les derniers quinze ans, pendant qu'était introduit un programme d'ajustement structurel sous les auspices du FMI et de la Banque Mondiale, Moçambique a essayé le démantèlement de son processus politique hautement centralisé,dans un contexte où l'aide au développement a connu une influence croissante dans le fonctionnement des institutionsde l'État.
