customary law”, and that the state shall also define its role in the economic, social and cultural affairs of Mozambique. 25 381. The definition of the roles of traditional leaders is contained in Decree No. 15/2000 and 11/2005, which give recognition to pre-existing traditional rulers, but also enable most other communities to elect their own chiefs or secretaries who are on the same level with those who inherited their positions. Traditional rulers play a significant role in land administration by vetting and recommending the applications of those applying for the grant of right of use to the appropriate authorities. They also play an important role in maintaining law and order, resolving conflict and ensuring social mobilisation for national programmes, such as inoculations, elections and environmental protection. 382. The traditional rulers informed the CRM that their role is important for state penetration of rural areas through the facilitation of two-way communication between the government and people at the grassroots level. The main constraint to their participating in governance more effectively is their lack of formal enforcement capability. Moreover, as society rapidly modernises, they are tending to find it difficult to deal with problems of security and social indiscipline, and with the fact that their recommendations on land use rights may be ignored or reversed in favour of privileged people. Making the Public Service More Professional 383. Among the recent achievements under Phase II of the PSR programme are, according to the UTRSP: • Updating of the staff information system and verification of the nominal roll of all civil servants (e-CAF); • Exposure of 35 000 irregular names on the nominal roll, of which 16 738 cases have been regularised; • Issuance of 114 510 tax identity numbers to the central bodies, provincial capitals and Maputo city; and • The holding of several capacity-building workshops, seminars and in-ser vice training events for various cadres of public servants at central, provin cial and district levels. 384. 25 Also, the government has established two institutions for training the public sector workforce: the Institute of Public Administration (ISAP) and the System of Training in Public Administration (SIFAP). ISAP and SIFAP are playing a major role in filling capacity gaps in the public administration. Nevertheless, they are overstretched trying to cope with the high demand to produce the high-calibre manpower the country needs. All the training institutions need more trainers, better infrastructure (classrooms and other facilities) and enhanced budgets if they are to perform optimally. Article 118. 137
