The democracy index in Mozambique declined to 3.51 points in 2020, ranking 122 out of 165 countries worldwide. The score kept the country under the classification of "authoritarian regime", meaning that the state political pluralism is absent or strongly limited. Mozambique's index score has been declining since 2010, when the country was classified as a “hybrid regime”, between authoritarianism and a flawed democracy.
The source specifies that: "the Democracy Index is based on five categories: electoral process and pluralism, the functioning of government, political participation, political culture, and civil liberties".
"The index values are used to place countries within one of four types of regime:
1. Full democracies: scores greater than 8
2. Flawed democracies: scores greater than 6, and less than or equal to 8
3. Hybrid regimes: scores greater than 4, and less than or equal to 6
4. Authoritarian regimes: scores less than or equal to 4"
