CSA related institutions and focus § A number of institutions are involved in the promotion of CSA in Tanzania. § Most of these are focused on improving productivity and enhancing adaptation and resilience of small-scale farmers. § Few institutions focus on mitigation as this is seen as co-benefit of adaptation interventions rather than a stand-alone objective 16/10/2018

Opportunities for Financing 16/10/2018 1. Tanzania has done good ground work to lay the foundation for attracting large scale finance for climate-smart agriculture 2. However, more finance needs to be directed towards addressing CSA adoption barriers. 3. The promotion of farmers groups and cooperatives, complemented by capacity building on financial and business management could enhance smallholders’ access to credit, particularly from microfinance institutions. 4. Stronger public-private partnerships, from policy formulation to activity implementation so as to ensure ownership and sustainability, can also increase the availability of CSA funds. 5. Additional sources for international climate financing need to be explored. For instance, Tanzania has yet to access funds from the Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF) and the Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP) both of which the country is eligible.
