1. What
Why
Who
Test officially released vegetable varieties and associated technologies in rotation, relay, mixed cropping
Vegetables already released by the Tanzanian government
AVRDC, HORT CRSP
Initiate partnerships with stakeholders especially farmer groups
Better ensures relevance with what we should do
IITA (TZ)
Capacity building in crucial areas (field agents, nutrition) in preparation for participation in the project
Need skilled and knowledgeable partners in component technologies
Research groups of the specific technologies
Extension of animal feeding technologies that lead to rapid fattening or increased milk/meat/egg production
Will create a link between the project and the partners
District agents

2. Training farmer groups to produce quality declared (certified) seed
Making seed of superior varieties available on time
TOSCI, District agents, CG centers involved
Building networks/relationships.
Alignment of SI technologies with markets
Identify market opportunities
Regional traders, PPP, IFPRI
Communication, technology transfer and outreach strategy (field days, 8-8, seedfairs, on-farm demos, leaflets etc)
Reach thousands of people; supporting the project stimulate interest of stakeholders about project outputs
National programmes, supported by IITA/local researchers

3. Identification of potential students (selection and placement of MSc
Identification of potential students (selection and placement of MSc. And PhD students)
Human capital; sustainable program operations; capacity building
Project partners, CRSPs
Nutrient enhancing recipes in local languages
Already being done by AVRDC, requires scaling out
AVRDC
Post-harvest technologies for longer and safer storage
Increase food supply/safety and improve nutrition
Private sector, TFNC, IITA, AVRDC
Nutrient dense varieties (eg. Fortified maize varieties, iron-reach mung-bean, protein rich soy bean, vitamin-rich vegetables)
Optimization of components of systems intensification. Improve nutrient level of vulnerable groups
Project partners especially ICRISAT, ILRI, AVRDC. Linkages with HarvestPlus, Peanut CSRP

4. Participatory Diagnosis of opportunities for systems intensification; Farmer-identified priorities for SI
To identify the best local opportunities for intensifying local systems
Outreach partners, farmers and other stakeholders
push-pull technique for stem borer control and forage production
Can be done together with variety evaluation; integration of livestock and crop
ILRI, CIAT, NARS,
Identification of networks that support knowledge provision
To know who potential partners are locally
Project partners, SANREM CRSP;
Appropriate and safe soil, water and pest management options for production
Co-adapt with farmers available soil, water and pest management technologies to boost current vegetable productivity in a cereal-vegetable-livestock system context
AVRDC, CIAT, IITA, ILRI, NARS
