Tanzania+Site+Selection

Sites for interventions in the Tanzanian dairy value chain (VC) have so far been identified down to district level. The districts in Morogoro Region (Kilosa and Mvomero districts) and in Tanga Region (Handeni and Lushoto districts) were identified based on a combination of spatial map overlays, stakeholder consultations, scoping visits and R&D partner preferences. The spatial mapping mainly relied on socio-economic data (human population & poverty, market access and consumption), livestock density and livestock production systems. Kilosa and Handeni districts represent pre-commercial rural production-to-rural consumption while Mvomero and Lushoto represent more commercial rural production-to-urban consumption.

The detailed site selection process takes this a step further to identify specific sites where specific interventions will be carried out. A checklist and participatory scoping procedures will be applied to identify the sites for implementation based on a tool with criteria such as target groups, impact indicators, ease of assistance and access to markets/ inputs/services, potential for collective action, and availability of related development activities. This will involve close collaboration with officials at ward (i.e. sub-district) level.
