FY ‘19 Q1 Quarterly Report: Feed the Future Tanzania Land Tenure Assistance (LTA)

The program is implemented by DAI Global LLC, with the goal of increasing access to secure land rights, improving agricultural productivity, and enhancing economic opportunities for smallholder farmers. The program's implementation is focused on three key areas: land tenure support, agricultural productivity, and market access. Land tenure support involves the registration of village land certificates, the issuance of certificates of customary rights of occupancy, and the development of village land use plans. Agricultural productivity is enhanced through the provision of training and extension services to farmers, as well as the distribution of high-yielding crop varieties and improved farming practices. Market access is improved through the establishment of village community banks, which provide financial services to farmers, and the facilitation of market linkages between farmers and buyers. The program also focuses on gender and youth empowerment, with a particular emphasis on increasing the participation of women and young people in decision-making processes and economic activities. The program's progress is monitored and evaluated through a range of indicators, including the number of village land certificates issued, the number of farmers trained in improved agricultural practices, and the number of market linkages established. The program's performance is also assessed through regular meetings and workshops with stakeholders, including government officials, community leaders, and implementing partners. In the first quarter of FY '19, the program made significant progress in implementing its activities. A total of 15 village land certificates were issued, and 2,500 farmers received training in improved agricultural practices. The program also established market linkages with 10 buyers, and facilitated the registration of 500 parcels of land. The program's implementation is supported by a range of stakeholders, including the Government of Tanzania, implementing partners, and community leaders. The program's success is dependent on the continued support of these stakeholders, as well as the availability of resources and funding. The program's evaluation and assessment status is ongoing, with regular monitoring and evaluation activities taking place throughout the year. The program's performance is assessed against a range of indicators, including the number of village land certificates issued, the number of farmers trained in improved agricultural practices, and the number of market linkages established. The program's planned activities for FY '19 Q2 include the issuance of additional village land certificates, the provision of training and extension services to farmers, and the facilitation of market linkages between farmers and buyers. The program will also continue to focus on gender and youth empowerment, with a particular emphasis on increasing the participation of women and young people in decision-making processes and economic activities. The program's implementation challenges include the availability of resources and funding, as well as the need to build the capacity of government officials and community leaders to support the program's activities. The program's administration and management issues include the need to establish clear lines of authority and communication, as well as the need to ensure that program activities are aligned with the program's overall goals and objectives.
