InovAgro works in northern Mozambique and is designed to engage with lead firms as supporting drivers of smallholders’ agricultural and income growth, strengthening the enabling environment for smallholder agricultural development. 

The mid-term review stands at the mid-point of InovAgro’s third phase and is looks back across the life of the project.

It assesses its accomplishments against the state of the agricultural market system in late 2010 and contextual changes since then. It looks at project adaptations that have occurred as InovAgro evolved through partnerships and tactics to become more effective over time. 

Intervention description

The report provides detailed findings by each of InovAgro’s four components – Input Access, Commodity Trade, Financial Access and Enabling Environment – as well as separate treatment of land and gender issues that affected project implementation.

Evidence methodology

The report draws on a document review and interviews conducted in Mozambique with a wide range of actors, including with: international development organisation; large, medium and small businesses working on input retail, offtake and processing; seed companies; and groups of farmers in northern Mozambique.
