Nourish Tanzania: Empowering Smallholder Farmers for Food Security and Climate Resilience Empowering Smallholder Farmers for Food Security and Climate Resilience (NOURISH Tanzania) aims to achieve resilient food security for SHF households in key regions of Tanzania.
The project focuses on two areas: the central-northern zone (Singida, Dodoma, Manyara) which suffers from acute food insecurity, and Southern Highlands (Songwe,Rukwa) which faces chronic malnutrition.
The project targets 200,000 SHFs and 100 MSMEs and farm organisations, with special emphasis on vulnerable SHFs. With a focus on four high-potential value chains (sorghum, sunflower, common bean, and vegetables), the project will tackle barriers to SHF food security through three interconnected outcome pathways:
1) Increased productivity: strengthening SHF climate-smart agricultural knowledge, skills, and access to inputs and finance.
2) Increased and diversified food supply to local markets: fostering collaborations among market actors, promoting digital solutions, and empowering SHFs and MSMEs.
3) Improved utilization of household resources to provide nutritious and diverse food: promoting nutritious diets, household food budgeting, and enabling women to have greater influence in HH decisions. Improved utilisation of HH resources (time, finances, food, land) to bring about food security and good nutrition outcomes, in particular for women of reproductive age and young children.

SNV will partner with Farm Africa and five local organisations including two local CSOs, RECODA and MIICO.
