┬аThis study forms part of a greater project, New SouthтАУSouth Development Trends and African Forest, ┬аcarried out in Gabon, Mozambique and Cameroon. In Mozambique, the project focused on the BrazilianтАУ JapaneseтАУMozambican trilateral program ProSavana. At the time the study began, there was little ┬аinformation or previous work on the topic. This paper should therefore be treated as a scoping study. ┬аDuring the course of this scoping study, only a few papers based on field research were published, and ┬аthe initial findings of this study are largely in line with this research. This paper supplements the existing ┬аliterature by adding depth from field interviews in Nampula and Zambezia as well as an examination of ┬аthe draft ProSavana reports, which became available in May 2013. This paper finds large misconceptions about what the ProSavana program is and what agrarian models ┬аwill be implemented under the program. The ProSavana program teamтАЩs inadequacy in effectively ┬аcommunicating the programтАЩs mission, methods and content has led civil society to look to PROCEDER ┬аfor clues as to how ProSavana will play out in Mozambique. However, the findings from field visits, ┬аinterviews with a range of stakeholders and a review of ProSavana project documents reported in this ┬аpaper are that ProSavana will not be a replica of PROCEDER and the strategies proposed do align well ┬аwith MozambiqueтАЩs agrarian strategy, known as PEDSA, and by extension the Comprehensive African ┬аAgriculture Development Programme (CAADP). ProSavana must therefore be evaluated on its own merit.
