Tanzania
IFAD has a strong and diversified portfolio in the United Republic of Tanzania. The portfolio has evolved as a result of lessons learned through IFAD’s own programmes and policy-related work, and through the activities of other donors, and recognizes the importance of harmonizing the work of the government and its development partners. Reducing poverty in Tanzania clearly requires investing in agricultural growth in rural areas, where 90 per cent of the country’s poor people live. IFAD’s strategy for Tanzania addresses specific challenges in the agricultural sector, especially access to technologies and services including financial services to enhance productivity, and linking producers to markets in creating opportunities for rural enterprise development.
