BookletMapping territorial markets in the United Republic of Tanzania
Summary report
2023Also available in:
No results found.Smallholder farmers are responsible for most of the food consumed in the world, as well as most of the investments made in agriculture. They operate largely in a range of local and national markets that are embedded in territorial food systems, also known as “territorial markets”. From a consumer perspective, these markets serve as key retail outlets for access to the foods needed for healthy diets, in particular fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and staple foods. Despite their importance however, data concerning territorial markets – such as the availability of food groups, food retailers and consumer profiles – are not often included in national data collection systems. As a result, they are often neglected in strategies aimed at improving nutrition, reducing poverty and fostering local economies. This booklet presents data and results from the mapping territorial markets in the United Republic of Tanzania. -
Book (stand-alone)Understanding women’s roles and trade potential along regional value chains: An in-depth analysis of the soybean-to-poultry value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania
Making the African Continental Free Trade Area work for women
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report offers an in-depth analysis of women’s roles and trade potential along the soybean-to-poultry value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania, within the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Developed under the FAO–ITC joint programme Empowering Women and Boosting Livelihoods through Agricultural Trade (EWAT), the study highlights both opportunities and challenges facing women engaged in this sector.Drawing on a combination of quantitative trade data and qualitative insights from Tanzanian stakeholders, the report examines production, trade flows, market trends, and the structural features shaping the soybean-to-poultry chain. It emphasizes women’s critical yet often underrecognized participation in farming, processing, and small-scale poultry enterprises, while identifying key barriers such as limited access to finance, technical skills, and fair market conditions.The study situates the United Republic of Tanzania’s position within regional and global value chains, revealing how strategic investments and stronger linkages to regional trade could unlock new opportunities for women entrepreneurs. It underscores that for women to meaningfully benefit from the AfCFTA, targeted policy measures and institutional support are essential.The report concludes with actionable recommendations aimed at strengthening women’s economic empowerment, including improved access to inputs and markets, gender-responsive infrastructure, supportive business environments, and enhanced participation in decision-making. By promoting inclusive and sustainable trade-led growth, the AfCFTA holds the potential to transform the United Republic of Tanzania’s soybean-to-poultry sector into a driver of prosperity for women and communities alike. -
Book (series)Establishment of national fisheries "gender desks" in the Gambia and the United Republic of Tanzania / Création des «bureaux du genre» nationaux pour la pêche en République de Gambie et en République-Unie de Tanzanie
Lessons learned / Enseignements tirés

No results found.A “gender desk” is an effective tool for integrating gender into national fisheries ministries. It consists of officers from various units responsible for fisheries management, tasked with mainstreaming gender in all aspects of the fisheries sector. The desk coordinates gender-responsive approaches in fisheries governance, develops policies focusing on women in fisheries value chains, and supports gender-transformative processes. This report is a synthesis of the lessons and observations gathered by the EAF-Nansen Programme during the process of establishing a gender desk from scratch at the Ministry of Fisheries and Water Resources in the Gambia. A similar process was previously implemented in the United Republic of Tanzania (mainland), where support was sought from the EAF-Nansen Programme to build the capacity of the already established gender desk at the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries. Both scenarios allowed for learning and improvement and provided rich lessons for future gender desk establishments.Un «bureau du genre» est un outil efficace pour intégrer le genre dans les ministères nationaux de la pêche. Il est composé d'agents issus de différentes unités responsables de la gestion des pêches, chargés de promouvoir l'intégration du genre dans tous les aspects du secteur de la pêche. Le bureau coordonne les approches sensibles au genre dans la gouvernance de la pêche, développe des politiques axées sur les femmes dans les chaînes de valeur de la pêche et soutient les processus transformationnels liés au genre. Ce rapport est une synthèse des leçons et des observations recueillies par le Programme EAF-Nansen au cours du processus de création d'un bureau du genre au sein du Ministère de la pêche et des ressources en eau en Gambie. Un processus similaire a été mis en oeuvre précédemment en République-Unie de Tanzanie (continentale), où le Programme EAF-Nansen a été sollicité pour renforcer les capacités du bureau du genre déjà établi au sein du ministère de l'élevage et de la pêche. Les deux scénarios ont permis d'apprendre et de s'améliorer et ont fourni de riches enseignements pour les futures créations de bureaux chargés des questions de genre.
