No results found.Project Formulation Framework for the Proposed Development Programme of Pilot Project URT/90/005. During the development phase, the programme will seek to address the integrated, multi-sectoral and interlinked problems of the households of the fishing /farming communities of the Lake Victoria coastline of Kagera. This will be achieved by seeking to improve the efficiency and incomes of existing artisanal fishermen and their families and establishing a catalytic and facilitating role in support of additional socio-economic and farming interventions. This aim will be achieved by implementing a "core" fisheries development programme that recognises the need for the fisheries sector to adopt a catalytic and facilitating role to bring development to these communities in fields outside their area of expertise. -

No results found.In the United Republic of Tanzania, government administration and delivery of services are decentralized to the district level, but the only source of district-level agricultural data is the Agricultural Routine Data System, which suffers from poor quality. Agricultural data at the district level are needed by local government authorities to plan decision-making, allocate resources and monitor policy results. This project was implemented to support the development of the small area estimates statistical methods to compile regular district-level data. The small area estimates methods are cost-effective because they make use of available survey data and other auxiliary data to produce accurate and reliable district-level estimates
