I. INTRODUCTION
1. Management submits the following report and recommendation on a proposed ADF loan of UA
52.59 million and an ADF grant of UA 1.82 million from the African Development Fund to the United Republic
of Tanzania to finance the Tanzania Agricultural Inputs Support Project within the framework of the African
Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). The project results from a request of the Government of
Tanzania dated 30 May 2022 to support its efforts to mitigate the impact of the global compounded shocks caused
by the war in Ukraine on the domestic economy and preserve resilience. It is designed under the AEFPF,
approved by the Board of Directors on 20 May 2022. The project will contribute to strengthening food security
and resilience of the Tanzanian economy, with particular emphasis on increasing national agricultural
productivity and mitigating food security risks due to the Ukraine – Russia crisis and climate-induced stresses.

II. STRATEGIC THRUST & RATIONALE

2.1 Main Development Constraints

2. The United Republic of Tanzania is a vast country with a total land area of 945,200 km2 The estimated
population of the country stands at 59.73million in 2020, and projected to reach about 80 million by 2030.
Tanzania’s economy has registered strong growth over the last decade, but that growth has not been inclusive.
On the average, the economy grew at 6.9% annually between 2015 and 2019. With a projected GDP growth
rate of 4.7 percent in 2022 and 5.3 percent in 2023, Tanzania is projected to remain one of the stronger economic
performers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The agriculture sector accounts for a quarter of GDP and 24.1% of export
value.
3. Tanzania reached an important milestone in July 2020, when it graduated from low-income country to
lower-middle-income country status, five years ahead of target. With the implementation of poverty reduction
strategies since early 2000s, the country has recorded gradual, but modest decline in poverty rates, from 36%
recorded in 2000 to 26.4%. The real impact of the impressive economic growth was dwarfed by COVID-19
pandemic, where about 1 million people were estimated to have fallen back into poverty in 2020. Inflation is
projected to increase to 4.4% in 2022 and to 3.8% in 2023 due to higher energy prices because of the Russia–
Ukraine conflict.
4. Tanzania is one of the ten African countries most directly affected by the war in Ukraine. It is obliged to
import more than 90% of its wheat, 67% of which comes from Russia and Ukraine, as well as 47% of its
vegetable oils from Russia and Ukraine and about 25% of its fertilizer from Russia. Fertilizer demand is estimated
to be 698,262 mt/season of which local production provides less than 10%. Agricultural imports have been
increasing, with food imports (wheat, edible oil and fats), representing the largest share (80%) of total imports.
Wheat production covers barely 10% of the 1,000,000 mt annual demand. Wheat is Tanzania’s third most
important cereal crop after maize and rice, and a major source of calories for a large segment of the population,
particularly in urban areas. Sunflower is the largest oilseed crop in Tanzania but fails to meet demand for edible
oils with a deficit of of 350,000 mt over current production of 300,000 mt. It is estimated that more than 1,200,000
mt/year of additional could be achieved with the use certified seeds and quality fertilizers.
5. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, combined with the impacts from COVID-19, climate change, high prices for
fuel and fertilizer, has adverse impacts on poverty and food insecurity. Increases in the cost of edible oils and
wheat will affect all households but hit the poorest most severely. Recent estimates show that the combined food,

1
fuel, and fertilizer shocks will lead to an additional 1.2 million people falling below the poverty line3. The fertilizer
shock is most detrimental for poorer rural households, which rely more heavily on agriculture for their income
and spend a larger share of their income on food. The analysis shows that reduced fertilizer availability and use
in response to higher prices, will lead to real GDP falls by 1.3 percent.

2.2. Project Linkages with Country Strategy and Objectives

6. The Tanzania Agricultural Inputs Support Project (TAISP) is fully aligned to the Third Five Year
Development Plan (FYDP III: 2021/22-2025/26), which aims to steer the country to a middle-income economy
and a high level of human development, and specifically with FYDP-III’s objective of increasing the value and
productivity of agricultural production for income and employment creation and diversification of products. The
project is fully aligned with the Agriculture Sector Development Programme II (ASDP II 2017/18–2022/23),
which aims at transforming the agriculture sector towards higher productivity, commercialization and increasing
smallholder farmer income for improved livelihood, food and nutrition securityand contribution to the GDP. The
project is also aligned with both the Tanzania’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution, 2021 which seeks
to increase agricultural productivity through climate smart agriculture interventions and the National Climate
Change Response Strategy 2021-2026.
7. TAISP is anchored in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and particularly SDG2
(zero hunger), SDG1 (no poverty), SDG 13 (climate action), and SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities). It is well
aligned with the Africa Agenda 2063 as well as the East African Development Vision 2030. The Project is also
consistent with the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy (2013-2022)It will help achieve two of the High 5s, Feeding Africa
and Improving the quality of life for the people of Africa. The Project will also help achieve the Bank’s
policy commitments under Pillar I of ADF-15 regarding (i) technologies for agriculture; (ii) climate-
smart agriculture; (iii) and promoting gender inclusivity. The project is also aligned to the Bank’s Gender
Strategy 2021-2025 and with Pillar I of the Bank’s Climate Change and Green Growth Policy which aims at
boosting climate resilience and adaptation to climate change. It is also in line with the Bank’s current Country
Strategy Paper for Tanzania (CSP 2021-2025), particularly its second priority area Improved private sector
business environment for job creation.

2.3 Rationale for Bank’s Intervention

8. The Bank has responded to past food security crises with rapid interventions to cushion increasing prices
to lessen the impact on the poor and vulnerable populations. The Bank is in a unique position to bring its extensive
experiences in agriculture development, and in responding to similar crisis episodes such as the 2008 food price
crisis, Ebola, and COVID-19 pandemic. TAISP is fully anchored in the AEFPF, which is the Bank’s recent
response to the looming food crises that may arise as a result of the Russian war in Ukraine. The Bank is also in
a unique position to scale up success with the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT)
programme that has demonstrated that improved varieties from research can be rapidly scaled up to boost
production and deliver impacts at scale.

2.4 Coordination and Cooperation with Technical and Financial Partners
9. This project was prepared in close collaboration with other Development Partners (DPs) in the agricultural
sector working group. The Food and Agricultural Oorganisation (FAO) and the United Nations Capaital
Development Fund (UNCDF) will provide technical assistance (USD 100 000) to support the deployment of
digital solutions for the scaling up of farmer registry and E-voucher systems. Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) has expressed strong interest in co-financing for a total loan of USD 50 million to further scale
up rice intensification and market linkages. This project will establish operational synergies with current projects
(Annex 1.3. Similar projects financed by the Bank and other partners) and planned long-term investment
operations.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Project objectives and components

10. The overall goal of this project is to boost local food production and strengthen the resilience of food
systems to mitigate short- and long-term risks due to the Ukraine – Russia crisis and climate-induced stresses in
Tanzania. The project development objective is to improve production, productivity and profitability of priority
crops (wheat,sunflower and rice) by scaling up the delivery of affordable inputs to smallholder farmers in the
target areas. The project is structured into three components, namely:

Component 1. Scaling up food production (USD28.930 Million or 34% of total cost)

11. Average yields of wheat, sunflower and are 1.5 t/ha, 1.0 t/ha and 1.5 t/ha below the optimal levels of
4.5t/ha, 2.5t/ha and 4.0t/ha, respectively as the average use of quality inputs, essentially improved seeds, fertilizers
and modern technology remains low. About 80 percent of agricultural production comes from rainfed, low-
input smallholder farms highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. Despite some advances over the last
decade, especially for cereals in high potential areas, a sustainable and reliable supply chain for quality seed has
not emerged. Multiplication and use of improved varieties remains low and volumes tend to be low. This project
will strengthen formal seed systems to ensure the supply of 7,200 MT of certified seeds of adapted climate
resilient varieties of wheat, 5,600T of improved sunflower varieties, and 16 000T of climate resilient rice varieties
to produce an additional 1 000 000 MT of food. This objective will be achieved by focusing investments in two
sub-components, namely (i) rapid multiplication of climate-adapted certified seeds and (ii) large-scale delivery
of certified seeds to farmers. To this end, the project will finance: (i) importation of early generation and certified
seeds of heat tolerant wheat varieties and improved sunflower varieties, (ii) rapid production and supply of early
generation seeds (-pre-basic seeds and basic) of released varieties; (iii) scaling up seed multiplication of certified
seeds; and (iv) strengthening seed quality control and and scaling up use of electronic tagging of quality seeds.
The project will also finance: (i) rolling out of the e-voucher subsidies of certified seeds leveraging digital
platforms; (ii) supporting extension services to improve farmer’s awareness and adoption of certified seeds and
good climate smart agronomic practices, (iii) scaling up technologies and innovations for postharvest loss
reduction; and (iv) developing effective market linkages/contracts with off-takers/millers.

3
Component 2: Financing Fertilizer Availability and Affordability (USD 50.3 Million or 60% of total cost)
12. The demand of fertilizer currently in the country is estimated to be 698,262 metric tonnes out of which
there is a need to import about 418,883 metric tonnes to cover the deficit from local production, which stands at
43,579 metric tonnes and a balance carried over from the previous season of 117,900 metric tonnes. There is
urgent need for intervention to ensure fertilizer availability in the country. The government is supporting the
enhancement of local production capacities by the proposed exemption of raw materials and machinery directly
used in the manufacturing of fertilizers. The government also wants to reinstate bulk procurement to cover
imported fertilizer requirement. However, the current budget earmarked for fertilizer will not allow to achieve
the targeted volumes of fertilizer if private sector financing is not leveraged. The leverage is possible through
Partial Trade Credit Guarantee to suppliers for distribution of inputs to farmers via aggregators, Hub agro dealers
and retailers.
13. The objective is to leverage private sector financing to achieve the targeted volumes (200,000 MT) of
fertilizer, and make fertilizer affordable and accessible to farmer through a subsidy programme. The project will
focus on investments in two sub-components, namely (i) Financing Fertilizer Availability and (ii) Facilitating
Fertilizer Affordability and fertilizer use efficiency. The project will build upon the success of the Bank’s Africa
Fertilizer Financing Mechanism (AFFM) to provide credit guarantees to importers and aggregators. This will be
done in partnerships with CRDB Bank, National Microfinance Bank (NMB), and Tanzania Agricultural
Development Bank (TADB) (Annex 2-2:B). The project will finance the implementation of the fertilizer subsidy
program directly targeting farmers with the use of electronic vouchers to ensure effective targeting, transparency,
traceability and inclusion, especially of women and the youth. Project interventions will include: (i)
accelerate and scale up e-registration of farmers, agro-dealers and extension agents; (ii) implement e-
tagging for digitized authentication of subsidized fertilizers; (iii) deploy electronic vouchers to ensure
effective targeting, transparency, and traceability; (iv) leverage existing agro-dealer network for last
mile supply of subsidized fertilizers to farmers; and (v) leverage the existing network of extension
officers to promote fertilizer use efficiency.
Component 3: Enabling policy environment and institutional strengthening (USD 4.83 Million or 6% of
total cost)
14. The Government of Tanzania has committed to achieve self-sufficiency of wheat and edible oil, and
expand rice production by 2030. The component objective is to implement policy reforms, actions and
commitments that will lead to improved regulatory environment for the rapid uptake of certified seeds and
fertilizers. The Government has committed to the following policy actions: (i) Private Public Policy Dialogues
on subsidies programme; (ii) develop and disseminate guidelines for input subsidies, farmer registration and e-
vouchers; (iii) finalize agreement on Trade Credit Gurentees for Bulk procurement of fertilizer; (iv) develop a
National Wheat Transformation Plan; and (v) increase budget allocation to agriculture and facilitate donor
coordination and alignment. The project will also complement GoT’s current investments in strengthening
extension systems as well as agricultural data systems, monitoring and evaluation.

3.2 Theory of Change

15. This project’s long-term impact is to contribute to increased food and nutrition security and build resilience
of food systems in Tanzania. This will be achieved by boosting local production and productivity and reducing
postharvest losses of the priority crops (wheat, sunflower and rice). The project will result in an additional 1 000

4
000 MT of food directly benefitting a total of 1,200,000 households corresponding to 4,800,000 persons,
including 40% women and youth. These outcomes will be achieved by the combination of investments in (i)
rapid production, multiplication and large scale delivery of certified seeds of climate resilient and market
preferred varieties of the three crops; (ii) financing bulk purchase and production of fertilizers using trade credit
guarantees; (iii) leveraging digital technologies for the delivery of smart subsidies of certified seeds and fertilizers
to ensure transparency and inclusion, especially for women; (iv) strengthening extension services to promote
grood agronomic practices, greater fertilizer use efficiency and reduction of postharvest losses; and (v)
implementing policy actions and commitments to address the structural factors that prevent modern inputs from
reaching farmers. The project theory of change is depicted in Annex 2-1.

3.3 Technical solutions retained and other alternatives explored

16. Considering the urgency of mitigating the food crisis, the Government decided to repurpose the county’s
ADF allocation that was meant for the Special Agro-industrical Processing Zone Project (SAPZ) to finance this
project. However, the SAPZ project is still considered as a national priority for subsequent funding cycle.

3.4 Type of project: Investment project

3.5 Project Cost and Financing Arrangements
17. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 62.27 million (USD 84.07 million). The African
Development Bank Group will provide a total of UA 54.41 (USD 73.45 million or 87.3%) in form of a loan and
grant. The Government of Tanzania’s contribution is estimated at UA7.86 million (USD 10.61 million or 12.6%
of total project costs), mainly from tax exemption, support to extension services, project coordination and
beneficiary contributions. JICA has expressed strong interest to co-finance this program for a total amount of
USD 50.00 million.

3.6 Project’s Target Area and Population Beneficiaries

18. The project will concentrate investments in the following regions: Arusha, Manyara, Mbeya, Rukwa,
Kilimanjaro and Njombe in the northern and southern highlands for wheat production; Singida, Manyara,
Arusha, Rukwa, Dodoma, Morogoro and Songwe for sunflower production, and Shinyanga, Mwanza, Simiyu
and Geita in the lake zone corridor for rice production. The total number of direct beneficiary is 1,200,000
smallholder households ( average 2ha) corresponding to 4,800,000 persons, including 40% women and youth.
The direct beneficiaries will also include 1,000 small and medium-scale seed producers and agro dealers; and
10,000 unemployed young women and men who will find employment opportunities in the wheat, sunflower
and fertilizer value chains.

3.7 Bank Group Experience and Lessons Reflected in Design

19. The project design takes into account useful experiences from the Bank’s previous and existing operations
across in the country. Key lessons learned, include the need to: (i) improve procurement planning and contract
management; (ii) strengthen and streamline project management and implementation capacities; and (iii)
expedite the fulfilment of conditions precedent to effectiveness and first disbursements. The design was also
informed by lessons from the National Agriculture Input Voucher Scheme (NAIVS) in Tanzania, and similar
programs in Malawi, Kenya, Mali and Nigeria. Key lessons include: (i) agricultural subsidies programs work
and can significantly increase productivity if directly targeted to farmers; (ii) avoiding political interference and
ensuring that the inputs get to the hands of the target smallholder farmers; (iii) careful advance procurement
planning and implementation support to ensure transparency and effectiveness ; (iii) building sustainability
mechanisms and exit streategy in the design by crowding-in private sector actors along the commodity value
chains, particularly the agro-dealer delivery network; and (v) deploying electronic vouchers to build efficiency in
input delivery.

IV. PROJECT FEASIBILITY

4.1 Economic and Financial Performance

20. The financial and economic analysis of the project was undertaken to assess the likely impact of the project
financing on the beneficiaries and the economic soundness of the overall project. The project is financially and
economically viable with a Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR) of 26.08% and an Economic Internal Rate
of Return (EIRR) of 27.26%. The detailed financial, economic and sensitivity analysis are discussed in Technical
Annexe 2-3.

4.2 Environmental and Social Impacts
4.2.1 Environmental and social safeguards
21. The project has been classified as Category 2 operation in accordance with the national
legislation and the Bank’s Integrated Safeguards System on the basis that the program activities are
expected to trigger moderate risk environmental and social impacts. However, as per the Bank’s
Integrated Safeguards System (ISS) provision for short-term emergency operations, AEFPF-
supported operations, the Borrower will be exempt from preparing and disclosing the required
environmental and social (E&S) risk management document prior to Board approval. To adequately
address possible environmental and social risks thereby preventing harms to people and environment,
the Borrower will prepare a Pest Management Plan (PMP), and any other appropriate E&S mitigation
measures. The Project implementation entity will include an appropriate E&S expert. Quarterly E&S
implementation reports will be shared with the Bank and stakeholders, as well as annual E&S
performance audit reports. The ESCON confirms the project’s compliance to Bank’s environmental
and social requirements prior approval, which will be reflected in the financing agreement.
22. Involuntary resettlement. Not applicable.
23. Climate Change and Green Growth. The project has been classified as Category 2, meaning its activities
are moderately vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. By providing climate resilient varieties of wheat,
sunflower and rice seeds, the project will address the key climate risks by enabling farmers to increase their
resilience and adaptive capacity to the impacts of climate change. The project’s interventions are well aligned
with Tanzania’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the Tanzania’s National Adaptation Programme
of Action (NAPA) and the National Climate Change Response Strategy 2021-2026.

4.2.2 Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Promotion

24. This Project is classified GEN II because it will contribute to gender equality and women’s economic
empowerment by closing in the gender gaps between men and women in access to agri-inputs (certified seeds,
fertilizers, market linkages and financial services). It will target 40% of beneficiaries as women and young
farmers, aiming to increase access to and use of affordable and subsidized certified seeds, fertilizers and pesticides
through digital platforms using e-vouchers that allow effective targeting, transparency and inclusion. This
approach will ensure that women are duly registered and targeted directly using their mobile phones. Investments
in postharvest innovations for drying and storage will also benefit women directly as they tend to be more
involved in postharvest management. The results’ framework includes gender disaggregated indicators to track
progress in gender equality and women’s empowerment.

V. IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 Institutional and Implementation Arrangements
25. The project will be implemented under the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), which will be the Executing
Agency (EA). The Executing Agency shall establish a Project Steering Committee (PSC), Project Technical
Committee (PTC) and a Project Implementation Team (PIT). The Project Steering Committee (PSC) will be
chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) or its representative and comprised
stakeholders from Ministries, local governments and organizations representing farmers, women and the youth
7
and relevant private-sector entities. The PTC will be an interface between the PSC and the PIT and will convene
quarterly. A Project Implementation Team (PIT) drawn from the Ministry of Agriculture will be established in
Dodoma and will be responsible for implementing the project activities at the regional and district level. The
project will recruit two technical advisers for Project Management and Procurement.

5.2 Procurement
26. Procurement of goods (including non-consultancy services), works and the acquisition of consulting
services, financed by the Bank for the project, will be carried out in accordance with the “Procurement Policy
and Methodology for Bank Group Funded Operations” (BPM), dated October 2015 and following the provisions
stated in the Financing Agreement. Specifically, Procurement would be carried out following: (i) Borrower
Procurement System (BPS): Specific Procurement Methods and Procedures (PMPs) under BPS comprising
Laws and Regulations Public Procurement Act, 2011 revised 2016 and its Regulations using the national
Standard Bidding Documents (SBDs) or other Solicitation Documents for certain transactions to be entailed
under the project; and, (ii) Bank Procurement Policy and Methodology (BPM): Bank standard PMPs, using the
relevant Bank Standard Solicitation Documents SDDs, for contracts that are either: (i) above the thresholds
indicated in Annex B5, or (ii) in case BPS is not relied upon for a specific transaction or group of transactions.
27. Procurement Risks and Capacity Assessment (PRCA): the assessment of procurement risks at the
Country, Sector, and Project levels and of procurement capacity at Ministry of Agriculture were undertaken and
presented in Technical Annex B5. The appropriate risks mitigation measures have been included in the PRCA
action plan proposed in Technical Annex B5. The Borrower undertakes to execute the following remedial
actions: (i) developing a clear Procurement Plan that will be monitored by the Bank team and the Borrower on a
regular basis; (ii) carrying out a procurement audit in accordance with BPS on an annual basis. The annual
procurement audit report shall be submitted to the Bank no later than six (6) months after the end of each financial
year.

5.3 Financial Management, Disbursement, and Audit

28. The Bank assessed the adequacy of the Public Financial Management systems of United Republic of
Tanzania (Country level) through the Country Fiduciary Risk Assessment (CFRA) completed in 2021 with a
moderate risk rating. Remarkable improvement has been achieved since 2021, although not enough to lower the
risk rating, which is still “Moderate”.
29. The Project will largely use the Direct Payment method and the Special Account (SA) method for
financing immaterial eligible project expenditures. Prior to the use of the SA method, EA/PIT will open a Special
Account (SA) at the Tanzania Central Bank or any approved local commercial bank for the purpose of this
Project. The Bank will issue a disbursement letter, which will provide specific guidelines on key disbursement
procedures and practices.
30. The Bank’s Policies and Procedures to process and report on the project financial transactions are to be
used with direct payment for the bulk of the financial transactions and a Special Account for other eligible
expenditures. The Auditor General will provide independent oversight and scrutiny through project audits. The
Project Accountant (seconded) will be responsible for the day-to-day execution of FM functions of budgeting,
accounting, financial reporting, funds flow, banking arrangements, internal controls, and arranging for the annual
audits of the Project. Project Financial Statements (FS) will be prepared at the end of project period by the
8
Executing Agencyin accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) using the
accruals and/or cash basis of accounting. The PIT will prepare the Interim Financial Reports (IFR) of the project
as part of the quarterly progress report required by the Bank, not later than 45 days after the end of the quarter.
31. The project will be subject to annual external audits conducted by the Controller and Auditor General
(CAG). The audited project financial statements, with an accompanying management letter, will be submitted to
the Bank within six (6) months following the end of each financial year or six months after the end of the project
period.

5.4 Monitoring and Evaluation

32. The project’s result measurement framework is aligned with the AEFPF Results Measurement
Framework. The project M&E framework will also be aligned with the overall M&E framework for ASDP II
and specifically with the Agricultural Routine Data System (ARDS), which is designed to provide district and
regional level agricultural data quarterly. A program Mid-term Review (MTR) will be undertaken at the mid-
way of implementation, and an Outcome Report as well as Project Completion Report (PCR) in the last year of
the project. The detailed M&E plan is presented in the technican annexes.

5.5 Sustainability
33. This project is a short-term intervention that supports immediate and long-term results of improving
productivity and building resilience. Key elements of project sustainability include: (i) anchoring the project in
existing institutional structures (MoA, ASA, TARI, TOSCI, TFRA and LGA), as well as building institutional
capacity at different levels; (ii) promoting a market-led input delivery system that will not displace the private
sector so that farmers can continue to purchase seeds and fertilizers from the additional income derived from
increased production; (ii) leveraging farmer registration and digital platforms for the provision of financial
services, climate and health information; (iii) using credit guarantees as revolving funds to facilitate access to
finance and promote domestic private sector; (iv) implementing critical policy actions and commitments to
promote a more conducive environment for the development of effective private-public partnerships; (v)
establishing sustainable market linkages, including through the developmen of SAPZ project; and (vi) linking
the project to long-term investment oprations by the Bank and other development partners.

5.6 Risk Management

34. The main risks are attributable to the emergency nature of this project. Its implementation requires a rapid
and flexible procurement process, and an experienced project management team to deliver results with speed.
35. Environmental Risks: The subsidies on fertilizer will not have significant adverse environmental impacts
as the recommended rates will still be below optimal levels of fertilizer use in the region.
36. Financial Sustainability: Subsidies to farmers are not sustainable and become a burden on government
budgets. Hence, the subsidy will be based on financially sustainable models that will be adapted to Tanzania,
allowing farmers to graduate after a period of two to three years.
37. Fiduciary risks and implementation capacity: poor procurement, financial management, and audit of the
project could halt the project. Given the emergency nature of the initiative, the Bank will use financial
management arrangements already in use at the Ministry of Agriculture, with the possibility of strengthening

9
existing capacity. Nevertheless, continued monitoring and mitigation of risks throughout the project phases will
be critical to the success of the project.
