The Agricultural sector Development Project for Tanzania has two complementary objectives: (1) to enable farmers to have better access to and use of agricultural knowledge, technologies, marketing systems and infrastructure; all of which contribute to higher productivity, profitability, and farm incomes; and (2) to promote agricultural private investment based on an improved regulatory and policy environment. The project has two components: (1) Local Level Support to improve agricultural service delivery; the quality of agricultural investments; and the local policy and regulatory environment for private investment in agriculture; and (2) National Level Support to improve the responsiveness and quality of agricultural research and policy; to carry out preparatory work and investment in national level irrigation through public-private partnerships; to improve food security and sector coordination, and to stimulate agricultural markets and private sector development.
