Abstract

The Pro-Poor Value Chain Development Project (PROSUL), implemented in southern Mozambique from 2012 to 2020, aimed to improve the livelihoods and climate resilience of smallholder farmers through support to cassava, horticulture and red meat value chains. This impact assessment focused on the cassava component, using data from 1,573 households. PROSUL promoted climate-resilient cassava production through training, technical assistance and adoption of drought-resistant varieties. Results showed significant gains in productive capacity, with cassava yields increasing by 36 per cent and production by 38 per cent among project participants. Participants were also more likely to sell agricultural products, diversify income sources, adopt improved cassava varieties and experience better food security. However, these improvements did not translate into higher incomes or sales revenues, highlighting the need for stronger market linkages and value-chain development.
