Qui a peur des ONG au Mozambique ?
La relance d’une controverse
Au Mozambique, la pr�sence et le r�le des ONG sont l’objet de controverses qui
n’ont fait que s’aviver avec l’importance croissante qu’elles ont
acquise depuis le d�but des ann�es 1990. Auparavant, c’est leur place dans un �tat
s’employant � construire le socialisme qui �tait sujette � caution et provoquait
la m�fiance de la petite �lite politique et intellectuelle du pays. Depuis, c’est
l’impact social des plans d’ajustement structurel et du n�olib�ralisme
dominant qui provoque le rejet de l’ensemble de l’intervention �trang�re sur
le sol mozambicain, tous organismes et ONG confondus. Mais peut-on faire le proc�s des
ONG sans faire en m�me temps le proc�s des �tats ? Peut-on retenir contre les ONG leur
culture anti-�tatique sans en rechercher l’origine et sans s’interroger sur les
faillites et d�missions de l’�tat ? N’est-ce pas leur vision diff�rente de
l’�tat qui oppose d�tracteurs et d�fenseurs des ONG ? Au Mozambique, c’est au
fond du probl�me de la faiblesse de l’�tat dont il s’agit et des perspectives
limit�es qu’il a de la surmonter dans le contexte actuel de la mondialisation.
Quem tem medo das ONG no Mo�ambique? O avivar de uma controversa
No Mo�ambique, a presen�a e a fun��o das ONG s�o objecto de controversas que n�o
cessaram de avivar-se com a import�ncia crescente que adquiriram desde o in�cio dos anos
90. Dantes, era o seu lugar num Estado preocupando-se em construir o socialismo que estava
sujeito � cau��o e provocava a desconfian�a da pequena elite pol�tica e intelectual
do pa�s. Desde ent�o, � o impacto social dos planos de ajuste estrutural e do
neoliberalismo dominante que provoca a rejei��o da totalidade da interven��o
estrangeira no solo mo�ambicano, todos os organismos e as ONG confundidos. Mas podemos
processar as ONG sem processar ao mesmo tempos Estados ? Podemos reter contra as ONG a sua
cultura anti-et�tica sem procurar a origem e sem se interrogar sobre as fal�ncia e
demiss�es do Estado ? N�o ser� a sua vis�o diferente do Estado que op�e detractores e
defensores das ONG ? No Mo�ambique, � no fundo do problema da fraqueza do Estado e das
perspectivas limitadas que tem de a ultrapassar no contexto actual da mundializa��o que
temos a resposta
Who is afraid of the NGOs in Mozambique ? A controversial debate
The debate about the existence and the role of the NGOs in Mozambique has been all the
more controversial as their number and importance have increased since the beginning of
the 90’s. Before that, their mere presence in a State striving to establish socialism
brought about mistrust and suspicion among the country’s political and intellectual
elite. At present, criticism of nearly all foreign intervention on the Mozambican soil,
whatever the nature of the aid, is linked to the social impact of the structural
adjustment plans and the rejection of neo-liberalism as such. Is it possible,
nevertheless, to put the NGOs on trial without also putting the States on trial ? Can one
object to the NGOs for their anti-state culture without looking for its origin and without
questioning the failures and withdrawals of the State ? Isn’t it their different
vision of the State which opposes the NGOs detractors and defenders ? In Mozambique, there
lies at the bottom of the controversy nothing more than the problem of the weakness of the
State and the limited perspectives that the globalization context currently offers to
overcome it. |
