Musa Nkuba Shelembi ii ABSTRACT Sustainability outcomes that emerge from smallholder commercial farming practices in developing economies are worthy investigating. This is due to the growing emphasis and initiatives for transforming subsistence farming to commercial faming in these countries. Growth in smallholder commercial farming investments are causing sustainability impacts which are worth to be understood. This study intended to meet this aspiration by investigating on drivers for smallholder farmers’ choices of commercial farming models and sustainability considerations in the Highlands Agro-Ecological Zone in Njombe District in Tanzania. Being founded on the conceptual grounds of the Institutional Theory, the study adopted the combined Institutional Analysis and Development and Social-Ecological Systems (IAD-SES) Framework as its structure for guiding the conceptual and empirical inquiries of the study. The study selected the convergent parallel mixed-methods design in which both qualitative and quantitative means of data inquiry and analyses were used. The study used multiple cases of purposively selected smallholder commercial farmer groups for empirical data inquiries. Purposively selected smallholder commercial farmer groups that engage in commercial farming with agribusiness companies or firms or initiatives were used for the study. In-depth interviews and focus group discussion techniques were used for qualitative data collection. Simple random sampling method was used in getting representatives from smallholder farmer groups for a quantitative data inquiries. Smallholder farmer representatives were randomly selected amongst members of smallholder commercial farmer groups to be administered with questionnaires. The study adopted the thematic tool for analyzing qualitative data whereas quantitative data was descriptively analyzed. MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2018 Software aided the qualitative analysis and SPSS Statistics 25 Software aided the quantitative analysis. The study found four types of commercial farming models in the study area as it was conceptualized. The study found out that economic factors, other factors and land use governance factors have strong influences on farmers’ choices of commercial farming models. While social factors are found to have a moderate influence, actors conditions, ecological factors and political factors indicate low influences on farmers’ choices of commercial farming models in the study area. Moreover, smallholder farmers’ considerations of sustainability criteria is found to be higher in an order of ecological, social and economic criteria in commercial farming models. Yet, smallholder farmers perceive higher performances of models in sustainability in an iii order of ecological, social and economic criteria in commercial farming models. However, the observed social and economic considerations and performances indicate to rely on individual and group-based mechanisms that are not institutionalized and are not captivated by partner actors in the models. Recommendations to strengthening rural land and environmental governance, incentivize rural youths and other groups for commercial farming, facilitate captivation of farmers’ social, legal and financial services and strengthen rural credit mechanisms are made to policy and decision makers. Agribusiness companies or initiatives that work with smallholder farmers are advised to incorporate ecological and social concerns in their business endeavours, captivate smallholder farmers’ social and financial services, incentivize rural youths and other groups for commercial farming and venture in farmer capacity enhancement. Furthermore, smallholder commercial farmers are advised to serve

    United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance and Planning, National Bureau of Statistics and Njombe Regional Secretariat Njombe Region National Bureau of Statistics Njombe Dodoma November, 2020 Njombe Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2018 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who passed Primary School Leaving Examination must join form one. The Nutrition situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue to be high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are problems which cannot be ignored.

  • Impact Evaluation of HIMA Iringa Region Tanzania
    Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Danida) Impact Evaluation of HIMA Iringa Region Tanzania Annex 7: Satellite Image Analysis Prepared jointly by: Orbicon A/S Ringstedvej 20 DK-4000 Roskilde Denmark Goss Gilroy Inc. Management Consultants Suite 900, 150 Metcalfe Street Ottawa, Ontario K2P 1P1, Canada October 2007 1.0 Concepts of Using Satellite Images as a Monitoring Tool In the ToR defining activities for the Evaluation, it was anticipated that satellite images were to be used in the HIMA implementation period and that the images should be used for “before and after” assessment of physical HIMA interventions. However, satellite images were not used in any documents despite several reports stating that such analysis could be valuable for monitoring purposes. Although considered several times by various project management teams as well as the RDE staff, the HIMA project never purchased any satellite images. In 2000, air photos were taken of divisions in both Makete and Njombe districts. The photos from Makete were missing and a series of photos in a scale of 1:50,000 covering Imalinyi and Lupembe divisions in Njombe division were available. Unidentified air photos from 1985 and 1986 (incomplete series) from the former IRADEP (Iringa agricultural development project, EEC) in a scale of 1:25,000 were also found. The incomplete regional IRADEP photos from 1985 and the HIMA photos from 2000 are missing the “flight run maps”, are lacking in even basic initial ground interpretation, as well as field verification and do not include photos over several years within the impact measurement period. Ultimately, the photos are of no value to the Evaluation.

Summary of Planned Activities The planned approach included a mixed method of: Household survey (HH) in 12 Njombe villages (repetition of a baseline survey carried out in 1996); PRA (participatory rural appraisal) sessions in 13 HIMA villages (originally 12 but one more village was added during implementation) and six comparison villages; Focus group sessions on general and specific subjects; including on satellite images and interpretation of panoramic photos; Semi-structured interviews with key informants; Ad-hoc interviews in HIMA villages; Site observations The following table provides a complete list of villages visited, cross-referenced with the data collection methods.
