FactsheetImproving Agriculture Statistics in United Republic of Tanzania - GCP/URT/145/IRE 2019
Also available in:
No results found.An analysis of the agricultural statistics system of the United Republic ofTanzania revealed weaknesses caused by the decentralization ofadministration and the delivery of services at district level. These ledto low awareness among district-level management of the importanceof evidence-based policy and data use, and to a lack of control of datacollection and reporting at district level from ministries and statisticsoffices in both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. The Agriculture StatisticsStrategic Plan (ASSP) noted that more accurate data were needed at districtlevel, for decision-making, planning, resource allocation and the monitoringof results by local authorities. A project was proposed to develop and applysmall area estimates (SAE) methods in Tanzania Mainland in order to makedistrict-level estimates of key production variables. There was also a needto sensitize local authority staff to the benefits of evidence-basedpolicy-making and to train them in the basic analysis and use of statisticsfor decision-making and the monitoring of policy implementation.The objective of the project was thus to develop and pilot district-levelagricultural data estimates using appropriate SAE methods. -
FactsheetBuilding Resilience of Agri-Food Systems and Better Nutrition in the Context of the Global Pandemic - TCP/URT/3903 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The United Republic of Tanzania is facing a triple burden of malnutrition, which includes overnutrition, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, as well as the growing prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases. These issues are exacerbated by dietary inadequacies and a lack of diversity in food consumption, which are linked to low socio-economic status, limited educational attainment, poor understanding of the relationship between food and health, and acute poverty. Dietary patterns in the United Republic of Tanzania vary by age and livelihood types and are increasingly recognized as predictors of disease outcomes in different settings. Furthermore, food consumption patterns are influenced by agroecological zones, with variations driven by differences in weather, vegetation, biodiversity and soil properties, leading to the production of diverse food crops. Evidence shows that young women and girls are disproportionately affected by nutritional deficiencies compared to boys. This disparity perpetuates the intergenerational cycle of poverty and malnutrition, as poor nutrition among women and girls has far-reaching consequences for maternal and child health. -
Technical bookDeveloping inclusive food systems in Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania
Lessons learned from the agribusiness support for smallholders project in Kenya and the southern highlands food systems programme in Tanzania
2021Also available in:
No results found.The publication aims at presenting best practices and lessons learned from two programmes implemented in Kenya and in the United Republic of Tanzania which capitalized on FAO's experience and knowledge in inclusive food systems development, targeting both the policy and institutional level and the direct support to value chain actors (i.e. SMEs). The focus of the programme was twofold, covering both the policy level (through improved inter-sectoral coordination and capacity building of institutions) and the pilot of inclusive investments strategies by small and medium agro-industries to source from small-scale producers. Four food subsectors were selected, based on their nutrition relevance in the national and local consumption patterns and on their economic potential for small-scale actors (red meat, white meat, soybean, rice, maize and edible oils).
