152. The development of river basin management in Tanzania: early experiences and lessons
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Tanzania is currently undergoing major political, social and economic reforms with the main goal of addressing its widespread poverty and promoting economic growth. Major reforms
in the water sector are underway, in the water supply and sanitation sectors, decentralization,
full cost recovery and increased role of the private sector are being embraced, and a strategy
for managing cross sectoral water resources issues and challenges using river basins as units
for planning and managing water resources is under implementation on pilot river basins.
 
153. Adoption of Maize Production Technologies in Southern Tanzania
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Maize provides 60 percent of dietary calories and more than 50 percent of utilizable protein to the Tanzanian population. The crop is cultivated on an average of two million hectares, which is about 45 percent of the cultivated area in Tanzania. Recognizing the importance of the maize crop to the lives of Tanzanians, the government has committed human and financial resources to developing the industry. A National Maize Research Programme (NMRP) was started in 1974 with the broad objective of developing cultivars suitable for major maize-producing areas.
 
154. Tanzania: Moneymaker Pumps Cash Into Farmers Pockets
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Moneymaker pumps manufactured in Arusha are reported to have contributed to poverty reduction by helping families start small agrobusinesses. The pumps that require no fuel enable farmers to harvest up to three times a year thus boosting their income.Mid last month USAID/Tanzania Mission Director Pamela White and Jacqueline Schafer, Assistant Administrator of Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture and Trade (EGAT), and Jeremy Hagger,Executive Assistant from USAID in Washington, DC were in Arusha to witness how the MoneyMaker pumps contribute to poverty reduction.
 
155. Proposals on development cooperation for agriculture and rural areas in Africa For TICAD III
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Need to expand agricultural production in Africa; Promotion of agricultural development by supporting NERICA (New Rice for Africa) and other crops; Active practice of small-scale irrigation agriculture; Introduction of technical innovation to traditional food crops in Africa ; Promotion of rural development cooperation ; Arrangement of function of support organizations for agriculture and rural area cooperation in Africa
 
156. Agricultural Technology Development and Transfer in Africa; Impacts Achieved and Lessons Learned
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Most sub-Saharan Africans depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Improving the welfare of the next generation of Africans thus requires sustainable technical change in agriculture.
Africa has neglected agriculture and agricultural technology development and transfer (TDT) over the past twenty years. Agricultural production per capita declined by 22percent from 1971 to 1984, and the share of African government spending devoted to agricultural TDT declined by 37percent from 1971 to 1991.
 
157. Agricultural policies and forestry development in Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe:
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  This paper presents a review of agricultural policies deemed relevant to the management
of natural forest resources in Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The competition between agriculture and forests for land and the role of man in influencing the balance between the two requires an articulation of sectoral, extra sectoral and macroeconomic policies in order to minimise undesirable policy effects.
 
158. Agricultural technology economic viability and poverty alleviation in Tanzania
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Agriculture in Tanzania is still the most important sector for the countrys overall development. The enigma to both researchers and policy makers alike is: Despite availability of a backlog of improved agricultural technologies developed or made available to farmers by the National Agricultural Research System (NARS), production is still being undertaken using rudimentary technologies
 
159. Land reform in Tanzania: opportunities for agriculture and mortgage finance
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  The primary role of the banking industry is financial intermediation i.e., mobilizing
funds from surplus units and making it available for investment to deficit units. This
is the classical or traditional function of a banking institution. The main source of
funds in a bank is customers deposits. These are liabilities for which the law, through
Bank of Tanzania, seeks to protect.
 
160. PLEC-Tanzania Technical and Policy Recommendations for sustainable agrodiversity management (with modifications from meeting participants)
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Smallholder farmers throughout the tropics have been adept at using the natural diversity of the environment for choosing their crops for managing the soil, water, land and vegetation, and for production. Arguably, they have conserved more biological diversity and more economically important species than all protected areas combined. They have systems of land use and practices that have stood the test of population growth and environmental challenge.
 
161. Adoption of Maize Production Technologies in Central Tanzania
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Maize provides 60percent of dietary calories and more than 50percent of utilizable protein to the Tanzanian population. The crop is cultivated on an average of two million hectares, which is about 45 percent of the cultivated area in Tanzania. Recognizing the importance of the maize crop to the lives of Tanzanians, the government has committed human and financial resources to developing the industry.
 
162. Dry-land Agroforestry Management Systems and Strategies: Business Plan for Scaling up-out agroforestry technologies in semi-arid Tanzania
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Much as 50-80percent of Tanzania falls in the 400 – 1200 mm rainfall semi-arid zone with evapotranspiration normally exceeding rainfall in nine months of the year. The rainfall in the semi-arid of Tanzania is not only relatively inadequate but also of high variability. A high variability means that there can be a prolonged dry spell even during the rainy season, which is the characteristic of semi arid areas of Tanzania. The major occupation for the people in the semi-arid areas of Tanzania includes agriculture, pastoralism and agro-pastoralism. Tanzania is rich in minerals.
 
163. DFID - Agricultural Research
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  Though external support to agricultural research is credited with some of the key successes in
development - notably the Green Revolution - donor investment in this area remains highly
controversial. The existence of multiple market failures and the need to ensure food security for a rapidly growing global population in an environmentally sustainable manner militate strongly towards sustained donor emphasis on research financing.
 
164. Agricultural technology economic viability and poverty alleviation in Tanzania
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  All indicators suggest that agriculture in Tanzania is, thirty seven years after
independence, still underdeveloped. Available information confirms that use of modern agricultural technology is not a common practice. According to the 1994/95 National Sample Census of Agriculture out of every ten holders, only three use improved seeds; four use farm yard manure; two use chemical fertilizers (and this is mainly in seven out of the total twenty regions); three use pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides; six receive advice from extension agents.
 
165. Agriculture and poverty reduction: unlocking the potential
  Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
  DFIDs commitment to agriculture
The UK is committed to supporting agriculture as a means of reducing poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. This Paper shows why agriculture is important, summarises what we are already doing, and outlines our plans to overcome the factors limiting the effective contribution of agriculture to poverty reduction. This commitment is shown by: Over £145 million of direct support which we currently give to agriculture through DFID programmes.
