I. Summary of key activities / training approach Project introduction / Need assessment/ Production for markets and consumption Soil improvement / seed bed preparation / nursery management/ Establishment of demonstration plots / spacing / manuring & fertilizer application Good agricultural practices / IPM / harvesting techniques Postharvest techniques / food hygiene / organoleptic tests / field day Seed multiplication training Improved varieties Healthy seedlings GAP Farmer trainers (baby trials) Farmer – to – farmer training Secondary knowledge recipients (Grandbaby trials)

I. Summary of key activities Region District Key activities Morogoro Kilombero • 6 pilot villages • Completed season long training in 6 pilot villages • Previous CRS pilot villages from NAFAKA I – worked now with CARITAS in all 6 villages Iringa rural • 8 pilot villages • completed season long training sessions in December’ 16 Mbeya Mbarali • 18 pilot villages (9 in Mbarali and 9 in Mbeya rural and Mbeya Districts) – training completed in June 2017 rural • Collaboration with CRS under the UNICEF funded “Accelerated Stunting Reduction Project (ASRP) Iringa Kilolo • 10 pilot villages • Collaboration with Africare in all ten villages based on the USAID funded “Mwanzo Bora” project • Training will be completed in July 2017

III. Key results – preliminary achievements § Started with 9 villages, now reached 67 villages § We trained 2, 705 farmers in 2016/17 (538 in 2015/16) using the season long vegetable production training § Trained 96 farmers on screen house establishment § Distributed 2, 705 seed kits in 2016/17 (1, 096 in 2015/16) § First results from impact analysis in first 9 villages in Manyara and Dodoma Regions

III. Key results – impact survey overview § 9 pilot villages from 2014/15 located in Babati, Kiteto and Kongwa districts § Survey of 200 beneficiaries and 203 non-beneficiaries located in the nine pilot villages conducted in 2017 § Farmers stated that weather conditions in 2014/15 were almost similar to 2016/17

VI. Partners § Most important partners in all pilot villages: public extension service (trained 50 village extension officers) § Conducted training in 24 CRS project villages in Kilombero, Mbeya rural and Mbarali districts § A to Z: Test small-scale net house and shade nets for future scaling out § Africare: Collaborate in 10 villages in Kilolo District § Provided training in public schools

V. Challenges and constraints § Slow growth of jute mallow and African eggplant in higher altitudes (Mbeya rural and Kilolo districts) § Problems to access villages due to poor infrastructure (Kilolo District) § Male farmers in Kilolo had often limited interest in vegetable production § Farmers in some villages expected to be paid for training participations since other projects pay for attendance § Extremely poor performance of TAHEA as project partner

VI. Lessons learned § Partnership with CRS and Africare contributed significantly to the success of the interventions § Close collaboration with VAEO to enable them to follow up and further disseminate knowledge § Inviting progressive farmers from other villages to set up demonstration plots and train farmers from their villages promising scaling model for a second phase § Focus on nutrition and leafy vegetables encouraged female farmers to participate the training sessions § Good combination of well-known crops (e. g. tomato, amaranth) and new ones (e. g. Ethiopian mustard, V. Soybean in Iringa and Mbeya)
