Government decisions about how public money is collected, allocated and spent are choices that reflect a nation's values and priorities. A nation's budget determines what services will be available and to whom – including schools for children, medicine for the sick and support for the unemployed.
The Mozambican context shows that the Government's choices have sometimes gone against the well-being of the Mozambican people. An example of this was the recent scandal of hidden debts whose negative impact affects not only the present but also future generations.
