Increased sustainable and inclusive trade flows; increased national trade, share in regional trade (EAC, SADC) including regional agricultural food export, increased share in intra-African (AfCFTA) and global trade, while making trade more inclusive ( focus on women, youth and people with disabilities) and environmentally sustainable. TradeMark Africa's Tanzania country strategy objectives are (1) Increased market access (by reducing trade barriers, including transport and other processes), and, (2) Improved business competitiveness (increasing SMEs to access out-border markets, increased capacity to create new jobs and catalyse new investments)

The overall goal of the climate research program is that contextually relevant knowledge on climate change adaptation and mitigation is in use by governmental and non-governmental stakeholder at various levels across Tanzanian society. Expected Outcomes: Tanzanian climate change research is strengthened. The capacity of Tanzanian HLIs and R&D institutions to conduct climate change research is increased Collaboration between research teams and other actors (government and non-governmental institutions, private sector, training institu The institutional capacity of COSTECH to undertake large competitive research calls is enhanced Expected Outputs: A broad range of Tanzanian interdisciplinary research Programmes on climate change are funded and completed (w/specific target of female project leaders) The participation of PhD and master students in climate change research Programmes is increased (w/specific target of female students) The participation of a broad specter of Tanzanian HLIs and R&Ds in climate research is increased Collaboration between research teams and a broad specter of other actors ensured The programme is implemented in line with the principles in the COSTECH grant manual Thematic priorities of the calls: Climate-adapted food production. Nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Alert systems and climate services, including addressing loss and damage. Health challenges exacerbated by climate change Institutions and governance. New technologies and innovative funding instruments. The program is designed to promote female participation in research (Project leaders, other researchers and students). Project indicators include disaggregated data with specific targets for women (40% female project leaders and students funded). The project also includes other mechanisms to promote female participation. For instance, through the assessment criteria guiding the review of research projects

This project aims to advance the implementation of the Agriculture Master Plan Flagship 7 by unlocking agriculture-specific regulatory barriers to business operations and scaling-up the AGCOT model across four corridors (Western, South, Central and Lake Zone). It will enhance commercial agriculture investment, with a particular focus on export. By facilitating private sector investment in agriculture value chains, the project drives increased production, productivity, agro-processing, and agribusiness growth. The overarching objective is inclusive economic growth, improved food security, reduced poverty by enhancing coordination and commercialization of smallholder agriculture.

The project’s expected effect(s) on society is: Improve the quality of life of vulnerable households in remote areas of Eastern Tajikistan and Northern Afghanistan through better regional electricity connectivity and provision. Specific objective: Improved long-term access to energy services in Viloyati-Mukhtori Kuhistoni Badakhshon (VMKB), Tajikistan and Badakhshan Province of Afghanistan by connecting the existing main grid with the smaller grid in Vanj and Darvaz districts of Tajikistan and ultimately to the National Grid of Tajikistan. The overall lack of access to electricity directly contributes to exacerbating poverty as it significantly impedes quality of life and economic development: - Women, children and youth, are often responsible for household energy resources, spend 6-7 hours a day on average collecting and preparing traditional fuel sources (primarily wood and dung). This continues to create obstacles to women and youth empowerment and their ability to pursue economic opportunities and to seek economic inclusion. - As firewood continues to remain the major source of energy, long lasting detrimental impact on the environment are clearly noticeable as firewood scarcity has already resulted in deforestation and desertification of orchards and private gardens. - The lack of electricity equally affects the quality of basic services provision since educational infrastructure remain insufficiently electrified and continue to offer very harsh studying conditions for local children, particularly during the winter months.l Expected results: Outcome 1.Long-term reliable supply of electricity ensured through climate change and disaster resilient infrastructures Outcome 2. Expanded provision of electricity supply to various entities including households, government and commercial organizations in Eastern Tajikistan Outcome 3. Access to reliable electricity provided for the vulnerable non-electrified village of Khehik in Vanj district
