The independent evaluation report – the second of its kind in Tanzania – will inform IFAD’s next country strategy in late 2015. “The next IFAD country strategy is an opportunity to build on the results of agriculture extension activities and focus on marketing and agricultural value-chain development, as well as to strengthen non-lending activities, including knowledge management, policy dialogue and partnership-building,” said Oscar A. Garcia, Director of the Independent Office of Evaluation. "Moreover, there is room to broaden engagement with the private sector and explore more coordinated support to value chains with other development partners in Tanzania," he added.
Ripoti huru ya tathmini—ya pili ya aina yake nchini Tanzania—itatoa mwanga kwa mkakati unaofuata wa IFAD nchini mwishoni mwa 2015. “Mkakati unaofuata wa IFAD nchini ni fursa ya kuendeleza matokeo ya shughuli za ugani katika kilimo na kuweka mkazo katika utafutaji masoko na uongezaji thamani kwa mazao ya kilimo, na vilevile kuimarisha shughuli zisizo za utaoaji mikopo, zikiwemo usimamizi wa maarifa, mazungumzo kuhusu sera na kujenga ushirikiano,” alisema Oscar A. Garcia, Mkurugenzi wa Ofisi Huru ya Tathmini. "Zaidi ya hayo, kuna nafasi ya kupanua ushirikishwaji wa sekta binafsi na kutafiti uratibu zaidi wa msaada kwenye kuongeza thamani kwa kushirikiana na washirika wengine wa maendeleo nchini Tanzania,” aliongeza.
