Enhancing partnership among Africa RISING, NAFAKA and TUBORESHE CHAKULA - Programs for fast tracking delivery and scaling of agricultural technologies in Tanzania: Annual Report

This report describes the activities carried out by the Africa RISING-NAFAKA parnership. The Africa RISING-NAFAKA partnership project focuses on the delivery and scaling of promising interventions that enhance agricultural productivity in Tanzania. The key interventions are the promotion of climate-smart agricultural innovations, dissemination of best-bet crop management packages, rehabilitation and protection of natural resources, and reduction of food waste and spoilage. The project focus is on three crop enterprises—maize, rice, and legumes (common bean, chickpea, cowpea, and green gram)—with nutrition and postharvest handling as cross-cutting themes. The key partners in the project include one USAID-funded project under the Feed the Future (FtF) Initiative in Tanzania—CMSD/NAFAKA, National Agricultural Research Institutions (Dakawa, Hombolo, and Uyole), District Councils, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), as well as the private sector (agro-input companies, millers, and processors)
