This project relates to Food Systems Supply Services in Rural Tanzania (F3SRT) “Baridi Sokoni”. It aims to increase smallholder farmers’ horticultural production and marketing in the context of negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic. This means that the targeted smallholder farmers would be enabled, through project interventions, to improve their efficiency in farm operations thereby substantially increasing volumes and quality of their crop produce per unit area. In the long run, it is expected that these benefits will impact widely peer farmers, hence benefiting more agricultural communities and the country as a whole. The Project will also help achieve the Bank’s policy commitments under ADF-16 regarding: (1) building resilience and tackling fragility; (2) accelerating climate and nature-based solutions and biodiversity; (3) increasing quality, sustainable infrastructure; and (4) people and institutions for delivering capacity to promote inclusive and sustainable growth. It has three (3) components, namely: (i) Scaling up production and productivity; (ii) Enhancing value addition and marketing; and (ii) Project management and coordination. The project contributes to climate finance, with almost 1.5 million USD of the total approved amount dedicated to adaptation.
