Rikolto Tanzania in East Africa is part of the Rikolto network, an international NGO with more than 40 years of experience working with farmer organizations and food chain actors in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Rikolto’s mission is to contribute to the development of a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive agricultural sector, with family farmers supplying quality products for their own consumption and for various markets (national, regional, and international). In its programme in Tanzania, Rikolto is currently implementing a food systems programme in 8 regions of the Northern and Southern Highlands of Tanzania, mainly through 3 programmes focusing on transforming urban food systems (Good Food for Cities), sustainable rice production, and living income through the cocoa/coffee programme. Rikolto in Tanzania has recently secured funding from the World Food Programme (WFP) to implement two projects aimed at promoting sustainable agricultural practices and enhancing economic empowerment. The first project, Vijana Kilimo Biashara (VKB), focuses on increasing food productivity, reducing post-harvest losses, and developing a high-value market system. This initiative targets youth engagement in agriculture and seeks to strengthen food security by creating better linkages between producers and markets in Tanzania. The second project, A Joint Programme on Accelerating Progress Towards Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment (JP RWEE), is designed to advance economic opportunities for rural women. It will focus on value chains for sorghum and sunflower production.
