From 2014 to 2017, thanks to your support , BRAC implemented the Catalyzing agricultural innovation in Tanzania project across 15 regions of Tanzania to promote the corn and poultry agricultural sub-sectors and ultimately enhance the livelihoods of Tanzanian farmers.
This year, as the project ended, BRAC is pleased to share that your contribution has helped make a positive impact on the lives of more than 100,000 Tanzanian farmers, 60 percent of whom are women. In collaboration with both the government and the private sector, BRAC worked with the grassroots farming community to achieve lasting success. It provided trainings on new farming technologies to hundred of thousands corn and poultry farmers. The total amount of crops and income increased by 400 percent. More than $5 million was disbursed as loans, with a repayment rate of 98 percent. The average monthly income of 50 entrepreneurs also increased an incredible 99 percent.
BRAC is particularly proud of the impact this project had, and we want to thank you for your support.
