The Director of the Feed the Future Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab (SIIL), Dr. Vara Prasad, and USAID Bureau for Food Security Senior Sustainable Agricultural Systems Advisor, Dr. Jerry Glover, are visiting Africa RISING and SIIL projects in Tanzania this week to observe the progress being made in the field and identify opportunities for further collaboration. They are accompanied by one of the SIIL’s External Advisory Board Members, Dr. Peter Thorne of ILRI, as well as other team members from the SIIL and Africa RISING projects.
The visit began on March 2nd, 2018 and will end on March 12th, 2018. Some of the sites visited thus far are located in the Mbeya, Mbozi, and Kilolo districts in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, where the two projects are both working and collaborating with the NAFAKA project, FIPS -Africa, ARI Uyole, and other partners. The key activities on the ground are focused on promoting different technologies to raise crop yields, scaling these technologies, and providing market linkages to farmers.
Additional sites to be visited include the Kongwa District in Central Tanzania, the Babati district in the Northern Highlands, and the ARI Uyole research center in Arusha.
