Enhancing partnership among Africa RISING, NAFAKA and TUBORESHE CHAKULA Programs for fast tracking delivery and scaling of agricultural technologies in Tanzania Overview of Project Achievements Haroon Sseguya Technology Scaling Specialist/Coordinator July 3, 2017
Background § USAID Ft. F investments in the Zone of Influence: § having at least 47, 000 households with access to the technologies to diversify and increase their food supply and income sources, and improve the quality of degrading smallholder cropland; § expanding the area under improved production technologies by at least 58, 000 ha; § increasing yields of both maize and rice by 50% per unit area as a result of these technologies being adopted.
Focus (2014 -2017) 1. Introducing and promoting improved and resilient varieties of food crops (maize, legumes, rice, vegetables); 2. Disseminating best-bet agronomic management packages (GAPs); 3. Protecting land water resources (incl. soil and water management, SAS/acidity/salinity); 4. Introducing and promoting postharvest management technologies (bring quality up to market standards); 5. Enhancing capacities of local communities.
Partnership – arrangement Donor (USAID) Research (Africa RISING) Development Common (NAFAKA) mandate Beneficiary (Smallholder) 1. CG centers operate with national research institutions in all sites 2. Work closely with NAFAKA team members; identify others – NGOs, private sector 3. Leverage resources (N 2 Africa, private sector) 4. Deepen work with DAICOs especially VAEOS/WAEOS 5. GIS for better targeting 1. Communication and coordination (beneficiaries, partners, donor team)

What has got us here? § Mutual benefit of the partnership (do we need each other? ) § Committed team members
What has got us here? § Unwavering support of local institutions esp. district councils § The donor
What needs to be enhanced 1. R-in-D § backstopping/addressing challenges identified during scaling processes that need scientific/research attention (e. g. measuring spillovers; integration of RPO/CBT models, operationalization of adoption in SI interventions) 2. Documentation and lesson sharing § CLA platform (USAID) § Co. Ps (Africa RISING)
What needs to be enhanced 3. Deeper engagement with local government institutions § Capacity needs assessment § Capacity building § Sustainability 4. Mobilizing NGOs and the private sector for a bigger role 5. Youth, VBAAs, other communitybased actors
