On Wednesday, 17 April 2024, Sergio Ponguane, Consultant and Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Gaza (Instituto Superior Politécnico de Gaza, ISPG), will present a paper on the impact of development schemes on the income and food security of small agricultural producers in Mozambique. 

The seminar is part of the CEEG Seminar Series, organized under the Inclusive growth in Mozambique (IGM) programme. The seminars offer a forum to share and discuss ongoing research on topics related to the work of the IGM programme and to foster a culture of research at the faculty and at UEM in general.

The seminars take place in a hybrid mode at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Eduardo Mondlane (UEM). It is a public event open to everyone. Register here for the online component. The presentation will be given in Portuguese.

About the study
Using a systematic literature review protocol, the study aims to analyze the contribution of promotion schemes to the income and food security of smallholder farmers in Mozambique. The results show that there are positive selection tendencies between integrators and farmers, which exacerbates the difficulty of estimating the net effect of participation in these schemes.
