In his speech, the President located the peer review within the longstanding
Mozambican practice of “criticism and self-criticism”, initially taught by the
founder of Mozambican nationalism, Eduardo Mondlane. He implored the APR

exercise was the mobilisation of more synergies so that the country could continue to record more victories in the fight against poverty, at peace and ever
more united.
