Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING): As part of the US government’s Feed the Future initiative to address global hunger and food security issues in Africa south of the Sahara, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting three multi-stakeholder agricultural research projects to sustainably intensify key African farming systems. The overall aim is to transform agricultural systems through sustainable intensification projects in West Africa and East and Southern Africa, led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and in Ethiopian Highlands, led by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The International Food Policy Research Institute leads the program’s monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment.

Drivers of Pigeon Peas Consumption Among School Aged Children in Central Tanzania Aug 22, 2024 International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), 2024, "Drivers of Pigeon Peas Consumption Among School Aged Children in Central Tanzania", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VFF2EE, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:mcRNQP+cJoqfmMZ1d3GUvA== [fileUNF] Data was collected from 138 caregivers of reproductive age (20-49 years) residing in four villages—Laikala, Mlali, Moleti, and Chitego—in Kongwa District, Dodoma Region, Tanzania. The caregivers were from households with school-aged children (5–12 years) and were randomly selected using the random walk sampling method. In each selected household, o...
Exploring Smallholder Farmers’ Willingness to Pay for Mechanization in Tanzania: The Case of Maize Shelling Machines Aug 22, 2024 International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), 2022, "Exploring Smallholder Farmers’ Willingness to Pay for Mechanization in Tanzania: The Case of Maize Shelling Machines", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/13YBCW, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:maVmAVikWWBOU0Wa5hQ9LA== [fileUNF] This dataset is generated from the research study conducted to understand the willingness to pay (WTP) for small-scale maize shelling machines and to identify factors affecting the willingness to pay among farmers. The study was conducted in three districts in central and northern Tanzania (Kongwa, Kiteto, and Manyara districts). About 400 househol...
Africa RISING Tanzania- Maize Intensification Using Fertilizer Aug 21, 2024 World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF); Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), 2016, "Africa RISING Tanzania- Maize Intensification Using Fertilizer", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/6YPPQO, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:/edJzlPnY2ynfiSh6AykoQ== [fileUNF] Using appropriate fertilizer recommendations and effective fertilizer materials is important to meet nutrient requirements of maize and sustain soil fertility. Unlike other agroecological zones, no fertilizer recommendations have been developed for the semi-arid zone in Tanzania, undermining the effort to target technologies in the specific biophys...

Under this approach farmers have been exposed to the technologies tested and validated on-farm (mother trials). Thereafter, farmers are given the opportunity to experiment technology they chose on their farms (baby trials) after a tra...
Fertilizer Microdosing Aug 20, 2024 World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF); Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), 2017, "Fertilizer Microdosing", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/4DDPFG, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:5YkEkOFQxazM1xH4i9FDew== [fileUNF] Most farmers and extension officers in Tanzania use blanket fertilizer recommendations, which can be ineffective in sustaining crops productions. The most recent fertilizer recommendation report (Marandu et al., 2014) do not have guidelines for semiarid zones. Besides, developing agronomic rates (Mkoma, 2015), our work in 2016 seasons addressed the...
