Evaluation of the Performance and Achievements of the Agricultural Sector Development Programme (ASDP)

Abstract

While Tanzania?s overall economic growth trajectory has been in line with its national poverty reduction strategy (termed Mkukuta), the agricultural sector has not proved so dynamic in the past 10-15 years with sector annual growth around 4-5%. The sector nevertheless is key to the country?s growth and poverty reduction prospects, providing a quarter of national GDP and accounting for 75% of rural household incomes.
