Pure Life Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (A-RAP) Summary
Project Title: Pure Life Organic Sugar
Project SAP Code: P-MZ-AAG-005

1. Description of the project, project area and area of influence
This is a summary of the abbreviated RAP developed for Pure Diets Mozambique SA by Protiviti
Global consultancy firm in 2015.
Pure Diets Mozambique SA (PDMSA) has proposed to set up organic sugarcane plantations, a
sugar mill of 3500 tonnes of cane per day (TCD) expandable to a 5000 TCD capacity along with
a 12 megawatts (MW) capacity co-generation power project for captive consumption (herein
referred as “project”). PDMSA has also proposes to bring initially 4311 hectares (ha) of land under
organic sugarcane cultivation in a phased manner. An additional 650 ha of land shall be used for
setting up necessary infrastructure like factory, roads, housing, and reservoirs. Out of this 650 ha,
200 ha is reserved for the factory. The power generated by the cogeneration plant will be utilized
for its own captive consumption and irrigation facilities.
The site is located at Malengane, Moamba District, Maputo Province in Mozambique. The project
area is located in Mozambique in the continent of Africa. Mozambique is surrounded by Malawi
and Tanzania in the North, Zambia and Zimbabwe in the West, Pretoria in South. The eastern
border is Indian Ocean. Mozambique is divided in to 11 provinces. The Maputo province is the
southernmost. The project is located at Moamba district in Maputo province on the South of
Incomati River bank, in Sabie Administrative Post, in the locality of Malengane. Moamba is well
connected by road and rail.
2. Potential impacts
There will be a significant impact of loss of structures that will be caused by the proposed project
mainly the construction of the organic sugar mill .Types of houses to be affected are largely the
made from mud, straw and locally available wood and bushes. Project Affected Persons (PAPs)
loosing residential structures are entitled to the compensation in form of housing structure to be
constructed in accordance with national standards (more details provided in Sections 9 and 11.1).
Demolition of outer structures and services such as fences, stores, toilets and kitchens will result
in loss of PAPs basic services that individuals, family or enterprises depend upon for sanitation,
security and general well-being, however, this will not necessitate physical relocation of PAPs or
3
loss of business. The proposed project will result in loss of land mainly for used by the PAPs for
cattle grazing. A total of 64 cattle (cows and goats) are available with PAPs.
The project area that was considered was inspected and recommended by government officials
(land department) as it would impact a limited number of families (5). The area would also be
advantageous from logistic perspective for the factory. The project has decided to consider the
area based on the recommendations and considering limited number of families to be displaced.
3. Organizational responsibility
The community relationship department at PDMSA is mainly responsible for implementation,
monitoring and evaluation of resettlement action plan. As per article 6, 7 and 8 of Regulations for
the Resettlement Process Resulting from Economic Activities Decree 31/2012 of 8 August, a
technical committee shall also be formed. Internal monitoring for A-RAP implementation will be
carried out throughout the resettlement process. PDMSA should agree on the maximum time of
vacating and this should be done once all PAPs have received their compensation. It is
recommended that maximum time of vacating could be six months. The community relationship
department will keep a record of all progress and prepare regular monitoring resettlement
implementation reports that outline the successes and challenges encountered and submit to
Director. To ensure the efficiency, the community relationship department will facilitate
monitoring and reporting activities, provide regular reviews and quality control in addressing
provisions of the A-RAP. Data from field surveys will be used as the benchmark for monitoring
the progress of RAP implementation. PDMSA will submit quarterly monitoring report to the
lenders, it will be go along with the environmental and social management plan reporting.
4. Land Lease
As per article 3 and 4 of the Land Law 19/97 – Government of Mozambique the entire land is
owned by state.PDMSA had involved all the community leaders and Government officials in the
conception stage of the project and signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
community leaders for processing the DUAT (land lease documents issued by Government of
Mozambique- Annexure 1 of the ESIA report) with the Director of Provincial Agriculture. Based
on the declaration, a model map is being prepared by the Government surveyors and it was referred
to the community leaders for their attestation for making the final map. The Temporary land title
(TEMPORARY DUAT) was issued to PDMSA by the Director of Provincial Agriculture. The
Temporary DUAT is issued by the Director of Provincial Agriculture directly if the size of land is
up to 1000 ha. If the land size is 1001 to 5000 ha and above 5000 ha, the temporary DUAT will be
issued by the Director Provincial Agriculture after getting approval from the Minister of
Agriculture and Land and the President respectively.

5. Community participation
The households affected by the project were duly consulted in the presence of government
representatives and district administrator. They declared their willingness to relocate if they are
compensated as per Mozambican law. The households indicated their preference of relocating to
a site close to their current homesteads (houses made with mud and straw). Their concerns are
addressed in a Memorandum of Understanding which is signed by the heads of 5 families,
government officials and PDMSA. PDMSA has committed to fulfil the following:
Permanent Housing at Better Place
Houses to be constructed as per national standards
Arrangement of temporary housing
Graveyard Relocation and ceremonial assistance will be provided by PDMSA
Employment for families sugarcane fields, sugar mill etc.
Other general social benefits from the project such access to education, water,
sanitation facilities and healthcare facilities,
Access to pasture land that is proposed to be developed by PDMSA for cattle grazing.
6. Integration with host communities
The site selection is done considering the requirements of article 17 and 18 of Mozambique
Regulations for the Resettlement Process Resulting from Economic Activities Decree 31/2012 of
8 August. Soil test shall be conducted prior to start of the construction. The site is well located
with sufficient natural drainage and hence there are no chances of flooding. The households will
be relocated within the same community (1 km away from the existing location) and the
community was consulted for their consent on relocation of these families.
