1.1 Executive Summary

This Quarterly Report documents progress achieved on the “Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Irrigation and Rural Roads Infrastructure Project” (the Project, known as IRRIP21), implemented by CDM International Inc. (CDM Smith) during April – June 2017.

Goals and Objectives USAID/Tanzania is implementing the U.S. Government’s Feed the Future (FTF) program, a cross- sector initiative to assist Tanzania in achieving its Millennium Development Goals to reduce hunger and poverty. Focused on the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) region, FTF interventions cover a broad range of activities centered around (1) developing the rice sector to spur growth; (2) increasing food security through improved productivity, processing, transport, and storage in the maize and rice sectors; and (3) improving the nutritional status of Tanzanians, particularly women and children, through the development of the horticulture sector. Multiple FTF implementing partners (IPs) are working collaboratively on component projects to address these overarching goals.

A key pillar of the FTF model is the focus on developing irrigation hubs around which the FTF IPs can orient activities to maximize impact. This includes the irrigation infrastructure required for improved productivity and expanded production of rice and maize along with associated environmental protections to maintain ecosystem goods and services, as well as the rural road infrastructure necessary for farmers to access resources and markets. Furthermore, the capacity of the institutional structures required for sustainable operation and maintenance of the investments are concurrently developed and supported.

1 A closely related but contractually separate project, “Engineering Services for the Tanzania Irrigation and Rural Roads Infrastructure Project”, is undertaken concurrently by CDM International Inc. and is referred to for convenience as IRRIP1.

USAID is undertaking IRRIP2 to achieve the following Project objectives:

1. improved and sustainable increase in irrigated agricultural productivity;

2. expanded access to markets; and

3. increased capacity of the Government of Tanzania (GoT) authorities involved in rural roads and irrigation infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance.

Activities are focused in the FTF target regions of Morogoro, Manyara, Dodoma, Iringa and Mbeya 2.

Project Description The Project interventions cover five main components, presented briefly below.

Program Management IRRIP2 provides overall technical, coordination, scheduling, procurement and funding management assistance to the GoT implementing partners to help ensure that the infrastructure projects are delivered in accordance with agreed programs and schedules.

Irrigation Infrastructure USAID had initially identified approximately 43,000 ha to be developed with new irrigation infrastructure in the Kilombero district of Morogoro region based on project proposals or rapid appraisal studies prepared by GoT. After the completion of those studies, the proposed command areas for the four projects in Kilombero were further refined under IRRIP2 as part of the prefeasibility review.

USAID/Tanzania had originally intended for IRRIP2 to support the GoT’s implementation of these irrigation schemes, including detailed design and construction phases. An important first step in the development process is the completion of comprehensive feasibility studies (FS) for the proposed areas, as well as an environmental flow assessment (EFA). The Project team performed these tasks directly, with the active participation of the GoT, during FY2015. USAID/Tanzania is reviewing their plans for future support of implementation of these irrigation schemes.

Regional Roads For implementation of the project, the Rural Roads Infrastructure Component has been divided into two sub-components: Regional Roads, which is the responsibility of the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS), and Rural Roads (district and feeder roads), for which the Local Government Authorities (LGAs) are responsible. The 260-km regional road running from Mikumi, through Ifakara and onwards through the Kilombero valley, to Kihansi and Mlimba, provides access to the areas initially proposed for the four new irrigation schemes evaluated under the project. Various rehabilitation and upgrade work on the road were identified, including spot improvements and bridge replacement in a 55-km section from Ifakara to Mbingu. These activities were completed in December 2014, and no additional work on regional roads have been identified for FY2017.

Rural Roads The task order requirement is to assist the LGAs to carry out improvements on up to 1,500 km of rural roads (i.e., district and feeder roads 4.5 m or 6 m wide) in Kilombero and Mvomero districts in Morogoro region, and in Kiteto and Kongwa districts in Manyara and Dodoma regions, respectively.

2 Iringa and Mbeya were added to the Project under Task Order Modification 8, executed on 29 August 2016.

As described in Modification 8 to the Task Order, IRRIP2 will also expand rural road rehabilitation activities into eight 3 districts in Iringa and Mbeya regions (estimated as three in Iringa and five in Mbeya) to achieve the overall target of 1,500 km. Achieving this target is in part dependent on the establishment of the necessary agreements and pre-conditions by USAID/Tanzania to allow for IRRIP2 activities to proceed.

The rural road program is loosely divided into three phases, which are distinct in their contracting mechanisms. The scope of services from IRRIP2 is the same in all three phases, but the amount and source of funding from USAID as well as the implementing partner is different. Phases 1 and 2 were formerly referred to as “Accelerated Process” and “Standard Process”. These were IRRIP2-specific terms of convenience developed because of a suggestion made by USAID/Tanzania at the Project Quality Management (PQM) Workshop in September 2012 that existing LGA road development priorities could be used to accelerate the pace of the design and construction process. Phase 1 was intended to accelerate road rehabilitation activities using funding mechanisms by USAID outside of the typical GoT process that Phase 2 was expected to follow, once modalities were developed and agreed upon.

Phase 1 entailed the LGAs producing design and tender documents, procuring construction contractors, and supervising construction/rehabilitation activities on an initial set of roads selected through a prioritization process. Each LGA was responsible for design, procurement of construction contractors, and construction supervision with technical assistance provided by IRRIP2. USAID funded construction activities through government-to-government (G2G) agreements with each LGA in the form of fixed amount reimbursement implementation letters (FARILs). Phase 1 encompassed a subset of roads in Mvomero, Kongwa, Kiteto, and Kilombero districts.

Phase 2 is a longer-term solution whereby the LGAs access funds through established GoT mechanisms to which USAID contributes through a G2G agreement. It was envisioned that Phase 2 would take longer to develop/implement, and would also require the LGAs to appoint an outside consultant (with IRRIP2 assistance) to identify, design, and supervise the larger tranche of works involved. Therefore, efforts were initially focused on implementing Phase 1 while the Phase 2 mechanism was developed in parallel. Phase 2 included additional roads in Mvomero, Kongwa, Kiteto, and Kilombero districts.

Phase 3 extends USAID’s road program to seven additional LGAs in Iringa and Mbeya Regions. IRRIP2 will support the prioritization process and detailed design phase, through the production of tender documents, for up to 1,000 km of rural roads. As of this report date, USAID/Tanzania is identifying funding mechanisms to support construction activities, possibly through other donors.

IRRIP2 also supports LGAs with their rural road maintenance responsibilities. The Project provides technical assistance in forming road users’ associations (RUAs) and supports the LGAs with labor- based maintenance efforts.

FARIL Roads (Phase 1) This phase involves the design, procurement, and construction supervision of works on an initial set of priority roads which can be achieved by the Districts themselves, with additional technical assistance from the Project. Mvomero, Kilombero, Kongwa, and Kiteto Districts identified 179.7 km of roads for rehabilitation using FARILs. Following a prioritization process developed by IRRIP2, District Engineers developed design and tender documents, procured construction contractors, and supervised construction activities with technical assistance from IRRIP2.

3 Eight districts were anticipated in the Task Order. Specific districts were not identified in the Task Order, and USAID has agreed to four districts in Mbeya region at the time of this reporting, thus bringing the total number of districts to seven.

Rural Road Development Project (Phase 2) This phase of road rehabilitation involves a broader approach to rehabilitation using a funding mechanism and implementation process already established within the GoT. The Project provides technical assistance to the Districts to adhere to these processes, and augment processes where required. USAID/Tanzania identified the Road Fund Board (RFB) as a suitable mechanism by which to channel their funds to the Districts. A cost reimbursement implementation letter (CRIL) was signed by the USAID Mission Director and the Ministry of Finance on 30 January 2016, defining the Feed the Future Tanzania Rural Road Development Project (RRDP). The CRIL specifies that the RRDP will be performed by the GoT through the RFB, with support from IRRIP2, and will include design, supervision, and construction of rural roads in Mvomero, Kongwa, Kiteto, and Kilombero districts. The CRIL provides for $10 million over 3 years for 261.3 km of rural roads under the RRDP.

IRRIP2 Technical Assistance (Phase 3) The scope of IRRIP2 activities was expanded by Modification 8 to the Task Order. This expansion covers technical assistance to Mbeya Rural, Chunya, Kyela, and Rungwe districts in Mbeya Region and Iringa Rural, Mufundi, and Kilolo districts in Iringa Region for the prioritization and design of rural road improvements. IRRIP2 wills support the LGAs to undertake these activities themselves. Because Phase 3 was added later in the project (Modification 8 signed in August 2016), there is likely not enough time to complete the full cycle of road work implementation. Furthermore, as of this report date, USAID/Tanzania has not committed to funding construction. Therefore, the current goal for IRRIP2 is to assist the LGAs with the identification and design process so that they may have a complete set of tender documents ready for procurement by the end of the IRRIP2 Task Order. IRRIP2 will also provide assistance to the Road Fund and USAID/Tanzania in identifying additional funding mechanisms for the Districts to implement the road works.

Rufiji Basin Environmental Flows In conjunction with the irrigation feasibility studies, USAID/Tanzania requested that an EFA be conducted for the Rufiji Basin to assess the basic water requirements of downstream communities and ecosystems. An EFA would provide USAID with additional information to facilitate their review of the draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for these schemes (Cadmus Group 2013). An EFA also provides the foundation for the Rufiji Basin Water Board (RBWB) within the Ministry of Water and Irrigation to adaptively manage water resources to maintain or restore ecosystem health and services across the basin.

The EFA provides recommended flow regimes for tributaries and the main stem Kilombero River that are potentially impacted by the proposed irrigation schemes, and includes consideration of requirements for the river, riparian wetlands, and floodplains. The immediate purpose of this EFA is to support the development of the proposed irrigation schemes in the northern tributaries of the Kilombero River. With the information provided by the EFA, water authorities have the information to manage water allocations in a manner that will enable economic development while conserving the basin’s critical river and wetland ecosystems and the bountiful services they provide to people. With completion of the EFA in April 2016, IRRIP2 will build upon this work and continue to support the GoT with implementing the existing flow recommendations and supporting activities to include developing a monitoring plan for the basin, defining flow requirements for other parts of the Rufiji Basin, and disseminating the findings of the EFA. Further, the results of the EFA and the lessons learned are to be evaluated in the context of the draft guidelines for the assessment of environmental water requirements produced by the USAID Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (iWASH) Program in January 2016, with recommendations for modifying the guidelines, as appropriate.

Capacity Building and Training Under the project, GoT implementing partners, local government institutions and local engineers and contractors involved in irrigation and road rehabilitation and maintenance, will be assisted to strengthen their capacities to carry out future work throughout the project cycle. It is intended that, as the IPs for the projects, the GoT institutions will be responsible for executing contracts with consultants and contractors, with Project assistance to manage and oversee the implementation. Where the Project implements tasks directly (e.g., irrigation feasibility studies), GoT counterpart staff will be embedded with the Project team with defined learning objectives for skill transfer, when possible.

The overarching objective of the capacity building component is to contribute to the institutional sustainability of investments in roads and irrigation infrastructure. To this end, IRRIP2 undertakes activities to strengthen the underlying institutional capacity of the organizations responsible for infrastructure in such areas as roles and responsibilities, team building, project management, supervision, training and mentoring. The intent of these activities is to produce an enabling environment within the organizations for them to deliver downstream maintenance activities assuming the financial resources, trained staff, and operational systems can be provided.

IRRIP2 targets the organizations listed below for capacity building support. Support for the irrigation sector (i.e., Irrigation Department) will be provided only to Kilombero and Mvomero LGAs in Morogoro Region; the rural road sector (i.e., Works Department) in all LGAs will be supported. In addition, the Morogoro Zonal Irrigation Office (ZIO) will receive support given the technical services they provide to LGAs in the planning, design, construction, and operation of irrigation schemes.

Under a separate activity (i.e., IRRIP1), USAID/Tanzania is rehabilitating the Dakawa irrigation scheme with investments in irrigation infrastructure. IRRIP2 supports the sustainability of USAID/Tanzania’s investments by strengthening the organizational capacity of the Dakawa cooperative (UWAWAKUDA) to effectively operate and maintain the irrigation scheme.

2. ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS

2.1 Progress Narrative

The Project continues to focus largely on providing technical assistance to USAID and the LGAs in administering the rural road program under the RRDP. By the end of the reporting period, each LGA had awarded contracts to construction contractors for the road packages under the RRDP. IRRIP2 also began evaluation of proposals from local firms to conduct a baseline road condition assessment for use in USAID’s performance evaluation of RRDP roads. Support was provided to the LGAs to train staff on LBT skills for routine road maintenance, so that community members could in turn be trained as participants in community-based LBT maintenance groups. In addition, IRRIP2 expanded activities into Iringa and Mbeya regions with an inception workshop held for seven LGAs on 14-15 June 2017.

The team conducted follow-up meetings with LGAs, Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), Contractors Registration Board (CRB), and President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) to agree on institutional strengthening interventions for the project to support. From May 2-5, 2017, the team convened 30 representatives from Kilombero, Kiteto, Kongwa and Mvomero LGAs in Morogoro for a series of meetings and training activities. On May 2, 2017 representatives from the four LGAs met to validate organizational capacity assessment (OCA) findings. Team members met with each LGA separately to present findings, respond to questions and to engage representatives in prioritization of capacity building assistance needs. On May 3-4, 2017, the team conducted a leadership and management training program during which they highlighted concepts and methods for leadership, management, leading organizational change and managing staff performance. The team led an action planning workshop on May 5, 2017. LGA representatives developed LGA-specific action plans for implementing improvements identified during the OCA.

OCAs of the three Iringa region LGAs (Iringa, Kilolo and Mufindi) and the four Mbeya region LGAs (Chunya, Kyela, Mbeya and Rungwe) were conducted by the team the week of June 19, 2017. Team members spent approximately one day with each LGA gathering data about the level of performance and availability and adequacy of support systems for six key organizational components: (1) strategic planning and vision, (2) coordination and communication with stakeholders, (3) organizational structure and staffing, (4) organizational leadership and management, (5) technical and project performance for road/irrigation organizational units and (6) financial management and resources. The team will use the OCA findings as the foundation for developing institutional capacity building plans for each of the seven LGAs.

Work continued on the Kisegese environmental assessment (EA) with the submission of the final Scoping Statement to USAID on 29 June 2017. The project continued to refine the flood model for Kisegese and plan for ground-truthing surveys in the coming quarter to validate the model. IRRIP2 is evaluating proposals from local firms to conduct additional fieldwork required to confirm the presence/absence of flora and fauna, delineate wetlands, and other activities.

The project continued to support the RBWB to develop a reserve monitoring plan to assist in the management of the Rufiji Basin water resources. As a result of the workshop with the RBWB and other stakeholders on 6-7 June 2017, IRRIP2 developed additional activities to support RBWB’s water management initiatives, and discussed those with USAID.

Project engineers continued to collect monthly data from weather stations installed in Kilombero to support the irrigation feasibility studies (completed in FY2015). Engineers also collect flow measurements from project rivers to add to existing data sets maintained by the RBWB. Work is done in conjunction with staff from the RBWB.

• Deliver leadership and performance management training to Mbeya region LGAs.

2.7 Challenges and Constraints

The following challenges had an impact on Project implementation. Where applicable, mitigation steps that the Project took are presented.

Achieving rural road target and entry into Iringa/Mbeya regions. The overall target of improving 1,500 km of rural roads depends on additional funding and implementation mechanisms being established for the new districts in Iringa and Mbeya regions. Without these agreements between the LGAs and USAID/Tanzania in place, the completion of construction activities in these districts is uncertain, thus jeopardizing the Project’s ability to achieve the target. The reduced timeframe for implementation and limit of funds for construction of roads may not allow for the Project to support road activities through the end of construction (however, the Project would be able to assist LGAs in producing designs and tender documents).

3. INTEGRATION OF CROSSCUTTING ISSUES AND USAID FORWARD PRIORITIES

3.1 Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment

Gender equality has been integrated in training of paraprofessionals for the village road user’s maintenance groups in Kiteto, Kongwa and Mvomero Districts. The guidelines on gender equality in forming road users maintenance groups were circulated to district engineers during the training of trainers workshop in May 2017. Two individuals, one woman and one man, were trained in civil works and LBT skills as paraprofessionals to ensure road maintenance groups have LBT skills as required by procurement laws and CRB. They were trained to educate women, men, youth girls and boys as road owners as well as road users, to increase awareness on benefits of passable roads. Road User Community Groups will be trained to understand their role in sustaining quality maintenance road works to realize the benefits through improved access to economic and social services.

Women empowerment was a key factor in selecting village civil works paraprofessionals for training in LBT and forming road user maintenance groups. Women empowerment has taken three forms: technical, leadership and economic empowerment. As civil work paraprofessionals, women are trained alongside men in road maintenance technical skills as road maintenance group supervisors. As road users, village women are encouraged to join road maintenance groups and attend meetings, make group constitutions to set rules for the democratic conduct in choice of leadership, and to guide the institution in conducting their businesses when interacting with external and internal actors. As group members, they will also be encouraged to participate in election of group leaders and compete to be elected for leadership positions in the road maintenance groups. Their leadership performance will be assessed through acceptability of quality of work done by road maintenance groups they lead. Economically, women participating in road maintenance groups will receive wages generated from road works, hence raising the income to meet essential household needs.

3.2 Youth Engagement

Youth (both girls and boys) will be encouraged to form road maintenance groups and participate in road maintenance works to learn leadership skills, earn money and understand how to hold the local authority accountable to them through interaction in the contracting processes. IRRIP2 has engaged a community development expert who will train LGAs to formulate such groups.

3.3 Local Capacity Development

• After having completed planning, design, procurement and construction supervision of rural road activities themselves under the FARIL mechanism, District engineers are now expanding their experience to include management and oversight of design consultants to undertake a larger tranche of road improvement activities under the RRDP.

• Staff from the RBWB participates in the monthly weather and river flow data collection activities undertaken by IRRIP2 in Kilombero. Staff are trained on how to read the weather station data, and collect river flow measurements using equipment that will ultimately be transferred to the RBWB for them to continue data collection efforts.

• Capacity building on maintenance of roads is not limited to LGA technical staff alone but extends to village levels. The LGAs receive training on LBT skills, who will in turn extend the training to community road maintenance groups. Note that in some LGAs, labor based maintenance on part of their network exists, but technology is missing. The project emphasis is on appropriate technology. IRRIP2 has engaged a LBT Engineer who will offer such training.

• IRRIP2 is expanding the team of institutional capacity building consultants to include Tanzanian professionals who have previously worked with and been trained by the USAID- funded Africa Lead II project; a Feed the Future initiative. The Tanzanian consultants identified have academic credentials in a variety of agricultural specialties and other disciplines including law, accounting and communications. The project will deploy these individuals to support capacity building for UWAWAKUDA, the Morogoro ZIO and the eleven participating LGAs. They will provide training, expert technical assistance and coaching services.

3.4 Integration and Collaboration

• The Project collaborates closely with USAID/Tanzania’s WARIDI on environmental flow work in the Rufiji Basin.

• There is an opportunity to collaborate with USAID/Tanzania’s Public Sector System Strengthening (PS3) project, which aims to strengthen existing GoT systems at national and local levels (including LGAs) to improve service delivery across sectors.

• The Project continues to liaise with the Belgian Development Agency’s Kilombero and Lower Rufiji Wetlands Ecosystem Management Project (KILORWEMP) during development of the Kisegese EA and continued environmental flows work. Of particular interest is KILORWEMP’s work to define the wildlife corridors and wetland extents in the area, as well as their knowledge of ecological monitoring programs.

• IRRIP2 assists LGAs to select roads for USAID support that contribute to economic growth (i.e., irrigation schemes proposed for improvement and other USAID activities).

• The Project coordinates with RFB on the maintenance resources allocated to LGAs.

• IRRIP2 coordinates with PO-RALG on the Local Government Transport Programme (LGTP) policy, especially on road maintenance aspects.

• IRRIP2 collaborates with DFID Dodoma office on the use of the revived DROMASS, a road maintenance planning tool, to avoid duplication of efforts.

3.5 Sustainability

• The rural road component has begun activities related to the formation of RUAs in target districts, coupled with labor-based maintenance training to village civil works paraprofessionals. These efforts will strengthen road maintenance at local levels.

• IRRIP2 has transitioned efforts from individual training to a broader institutional capacity building focus to support those institutions involved in the irrigation and rural road sector (i.e., LGAs and Morogoro ZIO). The capacity assessments completed in November 2016 form the basis for more robust interventions to strengthen their abilities to implement and maintain infrastructure projects in the future.

• IRRIP2 is aiming to create a sense of ownership of the completed roads by the community served, which will help to mitigate the risk of reduced maintenance funds available from the GoT.

• The Project helps to build capacity at the village population with rehabilitated roads and within the district level LGAs and RUAs to understand the National Transport Policy, LGTP policy, laws and procurement regulations related to community involvement in road maintenance. With increased technical knowledge and awareness, village civil works paraprofessionals together with RUAs as a team can then hold LGAs accountable for their obligation of ensuring resources are allocated to maintain rehabilitated gravel roads.

3.6 Environmental Compliance

There are no active rural road construction activities under RRDP during this reporting period. As outlined in the Implementation Letter with the RFB, USAID compliance requires the RFB to pursue

best practices for environmentally sound road rehabilitation. Additionally, the Ministry of Works standard Environmental Mitigation Management Plan (EMMP) has been provided to awarded Contractors as part of contract documents. IRRIP2 and the USAID Activity Manager will assist the RFB to monitor activities for compliance with the EMMP.

4. STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION AND INVOLVEMENT

See Section .

5. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES

CDM Smith continues to pursue a value-added tax (VAT) refund from the Tanzania Revenue Authority worth around $45,000.

6. MONITORING, EVALUATION, AND LEARNING

Table 1.1 provides the M&E data related to the required indicators for the project. There are two annual required indicators:

• Kilometers of roads improved or constructed as a result of USG assistance (EG.3.1-1) - A road opens up transport from rural spaces where rural-based production activities, such as agriculture, are taking place and connects, either directly or indirectly, with population centers and market activity. A road “improvement” indicates that USAID’s intervention significantly improved the ease of commercial transport along that road. In general, a road need not necessarily be paved with cement or asphalt but should significantly facilitate the transport of goods compared to the previous situation without the road improvement.

• Hectares under new or improved/rehabilitated irrigation or drainage services as a result of USG assistance (EG.3.1-2) - This indicator measures the number of hectares served by existing or new irrigation or drainage services that are either constructed or rehabilitated with USAID funding during the reporting year. Irrigation and drainage services refers to the better delivery of water to, and drainage of water from, arable land, including better timing, quantity, quality, and cost-effectiveness for the water users. Rehabilitation involves irrigation and drainage infrastructure that already existed, where USAID’s investment led to improved or restored operating capacity and/or efficiency.

Only those hectares brought under new or improved/reconstructed irrigation during the reporting year are counted. All hectares within the service area of the new or improved/rehabilitated irrigation/drainage system are included regardless of whether or not they are under production during the reporting year.

The current life of project (LOP) targets reflect practical targets that can be achieved given various constraints and the implementation framework within which the Project operates. For example, the pace of implementation for the rural road rehabilitation program depends on the existence of funding agreements between USAID and the GoT to allow for project activities to occur. With a delayed formal entry into Iringa and Mbeya regions by USAID – and absent construction funding commitments – the Project will likely not be able to achieve the overall target of 1,500 km of rehabilitated (constructed) roads.

It is suggested that the required indicator for hectares of new/improved irrigation infrastructure be removed. Feasibility studies were completed in FY2016 with recommendations for irrigation schemes that could be pursued for implementation. However, decisions are required to move forward and there is no clear commitment from stakeholders to implement any irrigation schemes. This decision-making process will not be completed to allow for construction and commissioning of irrigation infrastructure to be completed before the end of the Project.

Success stories are included in Annex C .

The Kilombero EA has been converted to a programmatic EA which has yet to be finalized. 2 Advance Studies 2.1 Project-specific Rapid EFA Rapid EFA was completed on 21 December 2013, and results/conclusions integrated into an Updated Hydrology Report, which was issued on 23 January 2014. Rapid EFA did not substantially alter initial conclusions. This subtask is complete. 2.2 Satellite Imagery Received satellite imagery for project areas in October 2013. This sub-task is complete. The satellite imagery constituted the most up-to-date mapping source available up to the time of receipt of LiDAR data (see below). It was intended as a high-level and inexpensive supplement to the existing 1:50,000 survey of Tanzania topographic sheets. It has been used to allow us to orientate ourselves in the field, identify features of interest/concern and update base mapping. It was used to define the areas for LiDAR and the areas for the soil survey. It has been used by the soil surveyors in their Phase 1 analysis of the soil mapping.

Annex C: Success Stories

Success Stories/Lessons Learned

* Program Element: IRRIP2 – Institutional Sustainability of Investments in Roads and Irrigation Infrastructure

* Key Issues: Identification of institutional capacity building needs and enhancement of leadership and management capacity of Kilombero, Kiteto, Kongwa and Mvomero Local Government Authorities (LGAs) supported by USAID/Tanzania.

*Headline (Maximum 300 characters): Kilombero, Kiteto, Kongwa and Mvomero LGAs with responsibilities for roads and/or irrigation infrastructure clarify needs for institutional capacity building and strengthen leadership and management capacities.

*Body Copy (maximum 5,000 characters): Challenge To assure sustainability of investments in rural roads and irrigation projects by strengthening the underlying institutional capacity of LGAs responsible for infrastructure. IRRIP2 institutional capacity building focuses on leadership, management, project management, supervision, roles and responsibilities, team building, training and mentoring and enhancing the ability of LGAs to deliver downstream maintenance and capacity building activities.

Actions To this end, IRRIP2 conducted organizational capacity assessments (OCAs) in Kilombero, Kiteto, Kongwa and Mvomero LGAs in November 2016. Representatives of roads, irrigation, human resources, community development and procurement units participated in facilitated exercises to elicit their assessment along six dimensions: strategy and planning, stakeholder coordination and communication, leadership and management, organizational structure and staffing, technical and finance. For each dimension, participants rated the current capacity in the LGA and identified actions to be taken and assistance requested to strengthen performance in that dimension.

IRRIP2 convened 30 representatives from Kilombero, Kiteto, Kongwa and Mvomero LGAs in Morogoro on May 2, 2017 to validate OCA findings. IRRIP2 team members met with each LGA staff individually to present findings, respond to questions and to engage representatives in prioritization of capacity building assistance needs. In response to gaps identified in the OCA, IRRIP2 conducted a leadership and management workshop on May 3‐4, 2017 to highlight concepts and methods for leadership, management, leading organizational change and managing staff performance. On May 5, 2017, LGA representatives developed LGA‐specific action plans for implementing additional improvements identified during the OCA.

Outcomes LGA training participants reported more than 50% learning gains resulting from the May 3‐4, 2017 training program on leadership, management, leading organizational change and managing staff

performance. The four participating LGAs each developed capacity building action plans based on OCA findings and lessons learned during the two‐day workshop. Common capacity building needs emerged which include:  Organizational leadership and management  Coordination and communication with stakeholders  Project performance management  Teamwork Other capacity building needs include:  Organizational structure and staffing  Procurement management

IRRIP2 is developing intervention plans to respond to institutional capacity building needs during the June‐September 2017 time frame and will closely coordinate institutional and technical capacity building interventions.

*Background Information (3,000 characters): Feed the Future (FtF) is a U.S. Government effort which aims to address the root causes of global hunger by sustainably increasing agricultural productivity to meet the demand for food, supporting and facilitating access to strong markets, increasing incomes for the poor so they can meet their food and other needs, and reducing under‐nutrition. With this renewed emphasis on agriculture as the driver of food security and economic growth, increased importance is placed on developing effective and sustainable interventions and accurately accounting for results and development impacts. To this end the project will enhance agricultural productivity through the expansion of irrigation potential and market access by reducing transport costs for farm inputs and products with the goal of increasing Tanzania’s competitiveness in domestic and regional markets. Therefore, USAID/Tanzania is implementing the Irrigation and Rural Roads Infrastructure Project (IRRIP).

USAID/Tanzania has identified irrigated rice as a priority value chain with maize and horticultural products as important secondary value chains. This prioritization of value chains is based on the potential to enhance agricultural sector growth while addressing food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. The project will complement other interventions in the USAID/Tanzania portfolio that will address the production, marketing, and processing of these priority commodities.

Improved Roads Link Farmers to Markets in Rural Tanzania

The road connecting Nyandira and Langali is nothing short of a lifeline for the two villages. Just over 5 kilometers in length, this humble roadway means farmers can get their produce to market, villagers can visit friends and relatives, and children can travel to and from school.

But for all it meant to the local population, Langali – Nyandira road was a simple dirt track, weathered from years of heavy use and disrepair. And until recently, all it took was a bit of bad weather for things to grind to a halt.

When local farmer Fabiana Antony describes her former commute to Nyandira market, she recalls flooded roadways, unreliable transportation, lost profits, and treacherous commutes. Often times, she resorted to braving the 10 kilometer trip on foot.

“We had to carry our produce on our heads, which involved losing some on the way,” said Antony. “A limited amount of produce reached the market.”

Market-goers and smallholder farmers across the country face the same daily challenges. Much of Tanzania’s road network remains unpaved, and with seasonal rains that last for months, the resulting conditions inhibit local economies and agricultural growth.

In Nyandira and Langali, lengthy travel times, delays, and the cost of fuel and vehicle repairs meant higher prices for fruits and vegetables. During road closures, farmers like Fabiana Antony risked losing their produce to spoilage. Some even speculated these obstacles led to fewer youth pursuing employment in agriculture.

Things began to change in 2015, when USAID teamed up with local government to ensure a reliable roadway between the two communities. After initially planning a surface treatment of gravel, locals instead decided to assume higher up-front costs and build a more durable, cost- effective concrete road. The ensuing construction brought much needed employment for residents, including younger populations, and by February 2016, locals were benefitting from a dependable, fully paved road.

“We are no longer victim to unpredictable conditions,” said Antony. “The flow of traffic has increased tremendously. All types of vehicles reach our market center, with bus fare and travel time reduced.”

Local farmer Jonas Kobelo also noticed positive effects on the local market. “Road improvement has completely changed our community by impacting agriculture,” he explained. “More people have joined in agricultural activities because they are confident of the market. More trucks are coming to Nyandira to buy our crops.”

What makes these efforts truly innovative, however, are the measures taken to ensure roadways are as sustainable as they are convenient. The first step involves training district government staff to develop routine maintenance plans, estimate needed labor and expenses, and use the latest labor-based technology. In turn, newly trained district staff teach these skills to village- based “paraprofessionals,” who form community civil works teams capable of conducting road maintenance independently.

By empowering communities to take control of roadway upkeep, local economies are bolstered not only by new job opportunities, but by the free flow of goods between markets for farmers and entrepreneurs. With a reliable route providing year-round access between Nyandira and Langali, it’s up to the newly trained paraprofessionals to uphold these gains into the future. It’s no simple task—but for the first time in recent memory, life as a farmer along Langali – Nyandira road suddenly feels less like a burden, and more like an opportunity. And best of all— it’s brought these two communities closer than ever before.

USAID support to rural roadways like Langali – Nyandira road is provided through Feed the Future’s Irrigation and Rural Roads Infrastructure Project. Since 2015, the activity has provided technical support to local government authorities (LGAs) for the rehabilitation of 180 kilometers of district farm-to-market roadways in Tanzania, with an expected 500 kilometers upgraded by 2018. The activity will also work with eight other LGAs and communities to identify, prioritize and develop designs for an additional 1,000 km of district roads.
