ย This study forms part of a greater project, New SouthโSouth Development Trends and African Forest, ย carried out in Gabon, Mozambique and Cameroon. In Mozambique, the project focused on the Brazilianโ JapaneseโMozambican trilateral program ProSavana. At the time the study began, there was little ย information or previous work on the topic. This paper should therefore be treated as a scoping study. ย During the course of this scoping study, only a few papers based on field research were published, and ย the initial findings of this study are largely in line with this research. This paper supplements the existing ย literature by adding depth from field interviews in Nampula and Zambezia as well as an examination of ย the draft ProSavana reports, which became available in May 2013. This paper finds large misconceptions about what the ProSavana program is and what agrarian models ย will be implemented under the program. The ProSavana program teamโs inadequacy in effectively ย communicating the programโs mission, methods and content has led civil society to look to PROCEDER ย for clues as to how ProSavana will play out in Mozambique. However, the findings from field visits, ย interviews with a range of stakeholders and a review of ProSavana project documents reported in this ย paper are that ProSavana will not be a replica of PROCEDER and the strategies proposed do align well ย with Mozambiqueโs agrarian strategy, known as PEDSA, and by extension the Comprehensive African ย Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). ProSavana must therefore be evaluated on its own merit.
