INVESTMENT PRESENTATION

THE PROPOSAL

The United Republic of Tanzania has huge opportunities for supporting the implementation of nationally led programmes that aim to eradicate poverty (SDG1), end hunger and malnutrition (SDG2), and reduce inequalities (SDG10) by prioritizing investments in key sectors, including agro-processing industries for crop, livestock, and fisheries value chains. With its economy growing at an average of 7% for the past decade, Tanzania is among the 10 fastest-growing economies in Africa. In July 2020, the country was officially promoted to a lower-middle-income country by the World Bank, thanks to political and economic stability, good policies, and peace and tranquillity.

The multi-year, multi-sectoral strategies in Tanzania, including the third National Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP III), Pathways for Sustainable Food Systems 2030, Building Better Tomorrow Youth Initiative for Agribusiness, and Agenda 10/30, outline priorities for agricultural transformation and investments in the country. By leveraging these opportunities and partnerships, we can accelerate the pace of agrifood systems transformation in Tanzania, to achieve our shared development goals.

COMMODITIES AND INTERVENTIONS

To accelerate the market-based transformation of agrifood systems in Tanzania, the FAO's Hand in Hand Initiative is being employed through advanced geospatial modelling and analytics, as well as a robust partnership-building approach. The initiative targets Wheat, Soybean, and Sunflower value chains in the Ruvuma and Manyara regions, aiming to raise incomes and improve the nutritional status, and well-being of poor and vulnerable populations based on the Food and Agriculture Delivery Compact priorities. Based on national priorities and in consultation with the Government, the BBT is also specifically included as an Investment Note for the Investment Forum. More details on the Initiative and investment costs for the value chains are being developed for the IF 2023.
