The evaluation has been undertaken by a team from NIRAS consisting of Bente Topsøe-Jensen (team leader), Elias Ainadine, Alícia da Silva Calane and Clemente José Macia. From NIRAS head office in Sweden, Emelie Pellby has managed the process, and the quality assurance has been undertaken by Ted Kliest. The eval- uation took place from August to November 2019 with two weeks field work in Mozambique in September 2019. The evaluation team thanks all persons and institutions involved in the data collection process – staff from involved government institutions in Mozambique, Embassies of Sweden and the Netherlands, key informants from civil society, private sector and academia, as well as land titleholders at community level, which were met during the fieldwork, resulting in more than 40 interviews. We sincerely hope that the results of the evaluation will provide all stakeholders with lessons learned which could serve as an input to future efforts to strengthen support to land sector management and
