From the Paper:

"Let us first consider the successful UN intervention in Mozambique, the causes for the success and the reasons which had made the successful intervention to become a less successful intervention. The factors entailing the UN intervention in Mozambique a success was regarded as an unanticipated blend of strong leadership, donor coordination, and aggressive diplomacy that provided the crucial reinforcement for persistent forward movement throughout the strategy. Viewing from all the angles the donor coordination is regarded as unique, and the coordination was assisted by the sacrifice of the Ajello so as to combine all the donors into the process and by the multi-layered commissions instituted to visualize it. Specifically, the international observers on the Supervisory and Monitoring Commission -- CSC - the ambassadors of the US, France, Britain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and the OAU - come together every week with Ajello to assess their expectations with regard to the political situations those were the same and to coordinate a reaction to it. The military commission such as CCF and CCFADM liable for supervising the ceasefire and generation of new military entailed a forum for daily evaluation and problem resolving. Donor coordination was also established on the inheritance and skills of a secular donor and NGO presence in country. There existed little requirement to renovate the wheel.
