Brief Description
The joint programme titled 'Data for Digital Agricultural Transformation' aims to enhance public and private sector collaboration around data access and sharing to improve agricultural efficiency and digital transformation for smallholder farmers in Tanzania, particularly focusing on women and youth.
The program enhances collaboration between public and private sectors to improve agricultural efficiency and digital transformation for smallholder farmers in Tanzania, particularly women and youth. It focuses on scaling innovative agri-tech solutions, training 500 government extension workers, and improving digital literacy for 500,000 farmers, including 300,000 women and 100,000 youth. The initiative strengthens data governance and management, aiming to unlock $12.5 million in funding while contributing to three National Pathways for Food Systems Transformation, ultimately enhancing climate resilience and advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Expected key results
Improved data integration and sharing among government ministries, private sector agri-techs, and at least 13 Ministry of Agriculture data platforms. Guidelines, strategies, and a framework will facilitate data sharing, culminating in a unified smallholder farmer database.
