There is a need for large scale and effective on the ground actions to advance Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and achieve agricultural resilience in the country, which in turn requires the active leadership and strengthened capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture to engage farmers, agricultural service providers, local government authorities, and other national and subnational institutions. In this context, in close collaboration with the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA), the project sought to build the capacity of developers and end users of agrometeorological information and advisory, with a focus on different agro ecological zones of the country. The aim was to build capacity, both within the Government and in national technical institutions, to achieve agricultural resilience and food security, in line with existing national agriculture development policies and programmes . While five main capacities were identified for building the knowledge and systems required to implement national priority actions and mainstream resilient agriculture in the country, the focus placed particular emphasis on “Capacity 5”, namely converting agrometeorological data and analysis into timely and actionable information available to farmers. -
