Paper long abstract:
Japanese International Cooperation Agency has operated in Brazil for over fifty years. In this period, Brazil and Japan have developed dozens of bilateral cooperation projects and also entered in the arena of Triangular Cooperation (TrC) in the 1980s. One such example is the ProSAVANA program, a partnership between Brazil, Japan and Mozambique for agricultural development of the mozambican savannah, the biggest initiative between both countries in terms of time horizon and budget. ProSAVANA was established in 2009 and can be considered an outspread of cooperation experience between Japan and Brazil in the Cerrado region. Then, an analysis of ProSAVANA can reveal some characteristics of the relationship between "emerging" and "traditional donors" and how these relations impact the agenda of development cooperation.
The first section is dedicated to introduce the cooperation Brazil-Japan as part of a friendly relationship in which cooperation for development plays an important role. To introduce Triangular Cooperation there is a second section presenting a definition of TrC, North-South Cooperation and South-South Cooperation. In the third section the focus is the TrC between Japan and Brazil, including the main frameworks constructed and the main areas of experiences replication in third countries. Finally, the last section has as objective the analysis of Japan-Brazil relations in the ProSAVANA, involving Mozambique, and will introduce what constitutes the program. This section will present a discussion focusing on aspects of what is called "North-South" relationship, looking for the contributions can be done for the changing paradigms of international development cooperation.
