2. USAID/Tanzania CDCS (2014-2019)
If Tanzania empowers its women and youth, sustains inclusive broad-based economic growth, and makes governance more effective, its transformation toward middle income status by 2025 will be significantly advanced.
Capitalizing on Tanzania’s most marginalized, untapped resources—women and youth— and investing in key sectors of the economy, namely agriculture.

3. Feed the Future Strategy
Increasing agricultural productivity and investment, particularly by women and youth, will lead to increased rural incomes.
Empowering women and youth, and integrating nutrition and social behavior change in all agriculture activities, will improve the nutritional status of women and children.
Will influence how farm families make decisions about what crops to grow and how the increased income of their families will be used.
