A livelihoods-grounded audit of Agricultural Sector Programme Support (ASPS) - Tanzania.

Abstract

The case study in this research was chosen for inclusion following a first phase review of the use of livelihoods approaches in Tanzania, Uganda and Southern Africa. Data was collected from the Agricultural Sector Program Support (ASPS) of Tanzania focusing mainly on three components: Smallholder irrigation, On-farm seed production, and HIMA (an environmental conservation project in the Iringa region). The case study is analysed according to a 'SL-grounded audit' and is divided into two sections: the first a general introduction to the intervention; and the second, a structured response to a series of questions adapted from the sustainable livelihoods (SL) principles. SL principles are one element of sustainable livelihoods approaches. This research adopts these principles as a structuring tool and as means of pinpointing the practical implications of adopting a sustainable livelihoods approach to development.
