made in the trip andits relations to the System Thinking approach. Briefly contextualization about Mozambique:Mozambique is located on the southeast coast ofAfrica, facing the Indic Ocean, in front of Madagascar Island. A country withtropical weather, full of very welcoming and sympathetic people, fruits,colors, birds, sea food and underdevelopment. While many of thesecharacteristics came from natural causes, underdevelopment has a strong reason,far away from natural causes.Mozambique is an ex-colony of Portugal, as manyother countries, such as Brazil (where Im from); However this countrysindependence from Portugal happened recently, in 1975, after a 10 years war. Furthermore,just after the independence, the country entered in a socialist Governmentwhich was followed by around 20 years of civil war. The country found peacejust in 1992 and democracy in 1995.Nevertheless, the problem was not the model ofgovernment (socialism, capitalism or anything else), the problem was the lackof awareness of the consequence that modifications in a system would cause tothe others; that is what I describe on the following topic:But why is that a cause of underdevelopment? During the colonial era Portugal had made, eventhough not much, some investments on infrastructure and services; but after theindependence, the new Government decided that they should be the ones in chargeof all the production and services (health, education, water & sanitation,agriculture, fishing, etc); for that, they incorporated all the private facilities(clinics, hospitals, schools, boats, harbors and so on) under theiradministration. Yes, if you was a doctor and had a clinic, you would no longerhave it (neither your equipment); which resulted in a big exodus of people toother countries such as South Africa and Portugal. Besides that, if the country had someinfrastructure, the government couldnt take care of everything and, even further,the civil war contributed to leave everything in bad conditions. When democracy came in 1995 the country startedfrom zero again, trying to rebuild and restructure everything for the thirdtime. That is the main reason of underdevelopment: it is a new country (wecould say that it is only 20 years old in the development path). However,another reason for underdevelopment is: how to overcome poverty and lack ofinfrastructure?This has a more systemic reason than the abovementioned history: the government is still in charge of many services; butfocusing on agriculture, which was one of the main areas of our research there,what we found is: There is no private land in Mozambique. You cant own apiece of land, they are all owned by the Government. On one hand it is a goodthing because there are no land less people; if you want a land to have afarm or to live on, you just need to fill a paper asking for the right of usageof that specific place you chose; however, on the other hand, as the countrylacks infrastructure and investments, if you want to lend some money from abank (there are only private banks for agriculture) to invest on machinery andother equipment to start your production, you do not have anything to presentas guarantee; therefore you cant lend money. For that reason, economic developmentof Mozambican society goes in a slow pace. If we analyze the situation, there
