Feed the Future

Tanzania

Feed the Future Targets for Tanzania • Improve food security to over 200,000 households and hence benefiting directly 1

million vulnerable populations including women and children

• Reduce poverty rate from 38% to 32% in the target area by 2015

• Contribute to increased agricultural sector annual growth rate from 3.2% to

6.3% by 2015 in the target areas

• Increase yields of target crops by at least 50% (rice from 2 to 3-4tons/ha, maize

from 1.5 to 2.5 tons/ha)

• Increase area under irrigation in Tanzania by 15.5% from 306,000 ha to 353,000

ha through development of 7 smallholder irrigation schemes in Morogoro and

Zanzibar.

• Increase market access by rehabilitating at least 3,000 kilometers of rural roads

thus reducing post-harvest losses for maize and rice from 20% to 10%.

• Increase trade in the target value chain by at least 25% through improved rural

infrastructure, and improved efficiency in value chain.

• Reduce child stunting and maternal anemia each by 20% in target areas,

reaching over one million pregnant women and children under five with essential

nutrition services and behavior change messages.

Focus value chains

Improve availability and access to staple

foods and improve nutrition by enhancing

the competitiveness of smallholders in rice,

maize, and horticulture.

Rice to Spur Growth

• High potential for sector

growth through employment,

agro-processing and trade

• Both food and cash crop for

household income and food

security

• Irrigation hubs for rice attract

investment in agro-processing

& technology dissemination

• Opportunity for crop

diversification with horticulture

• Potential for leveraging

funding and collaboration with

other donors, e.g. Japan

Maize for Food security Horticulture for Nutrition

and Income

• Impact nutrition by

addressing deficiencies

in micro-nutrients

• Greater engagement of

women

• Building on previous

USAID experience

• Alternate cropping with

rice in irrigation schemes

• Leveraging private sector

investment in agro-

processing through

SAGCOT

• Lower capital investment

and hence greater

participation by small-scale

millers and ultra-poor

households

• Private sector partnership

with General Mills:

fortification and blending -

CSB production for WFP

and others.

• Blending of maize with

sorghum, millet and

cassava would increase

overall food supply

Irrigation and rural roads

Raise productivity through irrigation schemes

with potential to significantly boost annual

yields of

targeted crops, and

improve market access

through construction

of rural feeder roads.

Food processing to reduce poverty and

improve nutrition • Build capacity of small and medium scale

millers

• Build public & private sector capacity to

address policy constraints and issues

related to food processing and fortification

• Promotion of more nutritious and fortified

foods

Nutrition interventions Improve household nutrition, especially for

women and children, with a focus on

reducing stunting and anemia.

Policy Partnership

Engage with government, civil society and

the private sector to promote enabling

policies for private sector investment, trade,

and nutrition.

Leadership

Develop national capacity for policy,

planning, and coordination to deliver on

strategic objectives in agriculture and

nutrition.

Research and development

Support collaborative research with local

institutions to enhance Tanzania’s ability to

innovate and improve productivity.

M&E /Agriculture Statistics Ensure accountability, progress against

targets, and learning through robust M&E

approaches that employ participatory

methods and are linked with Tanzanian

systems to build host country capacity.
