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.

Tanzania Investment Cases and Interventions

 

Seaweed

14.52 Million USD

194,736 Beneficiaries

Seaweed

The FAO Hand in Hand Initiative is driving the market-based transformation of agrifood systems in Tanzania. This year, the focus is on Zanzibar, with Seaweed as a key investment area. The identified needs center around enhancing production, improving quality processing, and adding value. These efforts aim to raise incomes and enhance the well-being of vulnerable populations on both Unguja and Pemba islands. The priorities align with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar’s strategy and plan.

Investment decisions were made in consultation with the Zanzibar government, considering the substantial international demand for seaweed and its processed products. Detailed analyses, cost assessments, and expected returns are outlined in the Investment Note. Notably, the seaweed investment area is expected to have a sustainable negative carbon impact.

 

 

Dairy 

8.02 Million USD

516,976 Beneficiaries

Dairy

Milk and dairy products play a vital role in Zanzibar’s daily diet and are in high demand, especially from the thriving tourism sector on Unguja Island. Investments in dairy have the potential to alleviate poverty and enhance local food security.

The Zanzibar government’s prioritized investment focuses on improving dairy productivity and processing. Quality enhancements, including better milk collection systems and processing facilities, are emphasized. Additionally, marketing strategies for both local and tourism markets have been developed. Detailed investment analyses and cost projections are available in the Investment Note."
