ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the adoption of the policy instruments, in particular their influence on policy change at the national and territorial levels. It analyzes the ProSavana programme and the projects related to the Vale company investments. The chapter describes the civil society campaigns against these initiatives. It shows that how local socio-economic and agricultural conditions may influence the reception of foreign policy instruments at the territorial level. The chapter also shows that the weakening of social mobilisation occurred after the departure of Oram and the Nampula NGOs' platform, whose territorial anchorage in the Nacala Corridor was larger than mozambican union of peasants. Territorialisation of Brazilian policy instruments in the Nacala Corridor has faced challenges which were initially underestimated. Cooperation between Brazil and Mozambique in the rural sector has relied heavily on large-scale commercial projects. Fears of land conflicts represented the main sources of social mobilisation against ProSavana.
