  • USAID Tanzania Activity Briefer May 2020
    TANZANIA ACTIVITY BRIEFER MAY 2020 For over five decades, the United States has partnered with the people of Tanzania to advance shared development objectives. The goal of USAID assistance is to help the country achieve self- reliance by promoting a healthy, prosperous, democratic, well- governed, and secure Tanzania. Through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, and strengthen democratic governance, USAID’s programs advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous Tanzania. In Tanzania, USAID engages in activities across four areas: ● Economic growth, including trade, agriculture, food security, and natural resource management ● Democracy, human rights, and governance ● Education ● Global health LARRIEUX/ USAID ALEX ALEX ECONOMIC GROWTH OVERVIEW: USAID supports Tanzania’s economic development and goal to become a self-reliant, middle- income country by 2025. We partner with the government and people of Tanzania, the private sector, and a range of development stakeholders. Agriculture plays a vital role in Tanzania’s economy, employing 65 percent of the workforce and contributing to nearly 30 percent of the economy. USAID strengthens the agriculture policy environment and works directly with actors along the production process to improve livelihoods and trade. At the same time, we strengthen the ability of rural communities to live healthy, productive lives through activities that improve 1 nutrition and provide access to clean water and better sanitation and hygiene. We also enhance the voices of youth and women in decision making by building leadership skills and access to assets, such as loans and land ownership rights. As Tanzania’s natural resources are the foundation for the country’s development, we work to protect globally important wildlife, remarkable ecosystems, and extraordinary natural resources.

  • National Investment Profile Water for Agriculture and Energy -Final Draft
    NATIONAL INVESTMENT PROFILE WATER FOR AGRICULTURE AND ENERGY -FINAL DRAFT- TANZANIA National Investment Profile. Water for Agriculture and Energy: Tanzania EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tanzania’s vision for using water resources for agriculture and energy are firmly embedded in both irrigation and hydropower development policies respectively. These issues are both part of the Tanzania poverty eradication agenda in line with the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 and the five year National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty, commonly known as MKUKUTA I (2005-2010) and MKUKUTA II (2010-2015) which is currently underway. The key policies which are followed for agriculture and hydropower are further supported by the Continental movement towards Africa’s Green revolution. Tanzania has signed the Comprehensive Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) compact and has initiated a number of programs and reforms to increase the investment in the agricultural sector. These programs have a strong emphasis on irrigation. Despite a total irrigation development potential in Tanzania of 29.4 million ha, only 450 392 ha have been irrigated thus demonstrating the need to develop the sector. Furthermore, irrigation practices in Tanzania show low water use efficiency, low water productivity and over dependency on surface water as a major source for irrigation development. The increased investment via the CAADP Compact should be able to support the development of the sector. Hydropower in the country contributes almost 50 percent of the energy produced. On a large scale, hydropower is being developed as a combined hydro-thermal system. On a smaller scale, hydropower is used as a source of renewable energy and a way to increase rural electrification.

  • To Sell Or Not to Sell – Maasai Milk Marketing in Ngerengere, Tanzania
    African Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics Volume 9 Number 2 pages 106-118 To sell or not to sell – Maasai milk marketing in Ngerengere, Tanzania Tim K Loos* University of Hohenheim (490a), Stuttgart, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Manfred Zeller University of Hohenheim (490a), Stuttgart, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract In Maasai culture, responsibilities and labour are divided between the genders. Men are in charge of the herd and thus control the main income source. Women take care of the family and are responsible for milking. Milk sales provide the women’s main income source. In this paper, using olmarei- (= household) and enkaji- (= sub-household) data from the milk catchment area of a collection centre in Ngerengere, Tanzania, we assess the potential impact of milk sales on enkaji income. We estimate the effect by employing propensity score-matching procedures. Our findings suggest that milk sellers earn significantly higher average income per capita than non-sellers. This appears to be especially true for enkajijik selling milk to other buyers rather than to the collection centre. Other buyers reach more remote areas, usually offer higher prices, but only purchase limited amounts of milk. The collection centre, on the other hand, is a guaranteed market with large capacity. Keywords: milk sales; income effect; propensity score matching; Maasai; Tanzania 1. Introduction Livestock are one of the major agricultural sub-sectors in Tanzania. Its contribution to the national gross domestic product is estimated at 4.7%, of which about one third is attributed to the dairy sector (URT 2012).
