Executive Summary
The project launch and inception workshop was held at the Gentle Hills, Hotel in Iringa, Tanzania
o 10th April 2015. This workshop was organized to introduce and familiarize the project to
stakeholders in the Cluster and in Tanzania and rally their support for its implementation as well
as use of the findings from the project. This workshop was also important avenue for better
understanding of the issues and the challenges faced by stakeholders including farmers,
investors, donors, private sectors, government agencies, agricultural and extension staff as well
as policy and decision makers. The workshop participants were drawn from different
organizations within and beyond the Cluster representing government agencies, NGOs, private
companies, investors/donors, and farmers’ organizations and farmers.
The workshop was delivered through presentations, plenary discussions and group discussions.
The presentations were intended to inform participants about the project and the research in
the Ihemi Cluster. Participants discussed in groups about the different roles they will play in the
project as well as the challenges to agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability
within the cluster. Participants promised to work with the project by offering relevant
information and data to ensure that the outcomes are realized.
As a way forward, the project team promised to collate all the information available within the
cluster and will take onboard suggestions from the meeting to ensure that implementation of
the project benefits smallholder farmers, investors, donors as well as SAGCOT Centre.

Introduction and Background
1.1
The LiFELand Project
Laying the Foundations for Effective Landscape-level Planning for Sustainable Development in the
SAGCOT Corridor: Ihemi Agricultural Development Cluster (LiFELand) is a 2- year project which is led by
The Nature Conservancy (TNC), in partnership with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture
(CIAT) and Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA). The project will work closely with key public and
private sector stakeholders in Tanzania, both at the National and local levels.
The project addresses two linked problems: unsustainable natural resource use within the cluster,
particularly in relation to water resources, and uninformed investments, from both the private and public
sector, which do not take sufficient account of social and environmental impacts, especially on female
farmers. As a result, there is potential for conflict between investors and civil society institutions within
the cluster, and the possibility that infrastructural development and investment in agriculture will worsen
rather than improve natural resource utilization.
The underlying cause is the lack of a framework to ensure public and private sector investments in the
cluster are socially responsible and environmentally sustainable, given natural resource constraints on
agricultural development and the socio-economic context in the districts which make up the cluster.
Several factors contribute to this situation, all of which this proposal will address. They include:
 Data gaps in current patterns of natural resource management, especially in relation to water
issues and among female farmers
 Parallel data gaps in current patterns of income distribution and socio-economic status of rural
populations in the cluster, especially in relation to women
 Lack of detailed knowledge of agricultural production systems within the cluster, especially those
relevant to smallholder farming, and consequent inability to identify economic/value chain
opportunities most appropriate for male and female smallholder farmers.
 Lack of a clear pathway to ensure relevant scientific information is formatted in ways accessible
to all stakeholders, from community to national levels, and is injected into planning discussions
and decision-making at district, ministry and national levels
 Constraints on investment by both public and private capital in projects likely to advance
sustainable intensification as a result of all the above, limiting employment, agricultural output
and farm incomes, especially for women and young people.
1.2
Project Objectives and Outputs
The overall objective of this project is to promote sustainable intensification in the Ihemi Cluster. The
project will focus on helping local institutions within the Ihemi cluster and investors as well as policymakers beyond it build robust, evidence-driven processes for planning sustainable development within
the cluster. Specifically the project will:
 Carry out a comprehensive baseline survey of agricultural yields and farmer income within the
cluster, with a particular focus on female headed farming households, the most vulnerable group
of farmers.
 Investigate water resources within the cluster, a key natural resource constraint for agriculture
with a strong focus on quantifying the quantity and availability, quality as well as factors for
degradation, fill data gaps and model different scenarios for expansion of agriculture, looking to
find the most sustainable options and feed them into planning processes within and beyond the
cluster.

Produce a series of policy briefs and work with individual investors, from both the private and
public sector to improve existing investment proposals and influence those in the pipeline.
The Workshop
Purpose of the workshop
The launch and inception workshop for the "The project “Laying the Foundations for Effective Landscapelevel Planning for Sustainable Development in the SAGCOT Corridor: Ihemi Agricultural Development
Cluster (LiFELand)” was conducted on 10th of April, 2015 at the Gentle Hills Hotel, Iringa. The workshop
was organized in order to introduce and familiarize the project to stakeholders in the Cluster and rally
their support for its implementation as well as use of the findings. It was also an important avenue for
better understanding of the issues and challenges faced by stakeholders including farmers, investors,
donors, private sectors, government agencies, agricultural and extension staff as well as policy and
decision makers. It was for these reasons that participants for the workshop represented a diverse range
of organizations.
1.4
Workshop participants
The workshop was attended by a diversity of participants from diverse backgrounds and organizations in
the Ihemi Cluster and beyond. As the project places gender involvement and participation as one of the
core outputs, it was good to see that the project was attended by a good number of female participants
within the Ihemi Cluster, but also from the Government of Tanzania, which included the Guest of Honor,
the Iringa Regional Commissioner, the Regional Administrative Secretary, and the Iringa District
Commissioner.
In total 69 participants from different organizations and affiliations within and outside the Ihemi Cluster
but somewhat connected to the cluster attended. Representatives from the government agencies were
from the National Irrigation Commission, Iringa and Njombe Regional Offices, Iringa, Kilolo,
Wanging'ombe, Mufindi and Njombe District Councils Offices including among others the District
Executive Directors and District Agricultural, Irrigation and Cooperative Officers. Other participants were
from private sectors, farmer organizations, farmers, NGOs, research institutions and the media. The
complete list of participants is shown in Appendix 1.
1.5
The workshop Process
The workshop was conducted through presentations, plenary discussions, and group discussions. It
started around 0830 hours with the registration of participants which was followed by welcoming
remarks by Prof. Japhet Kashaigili who also gave a brief overview of the project. This was followed by selfintroductions of the participants. Then the project leader, Mr. Felix Kamau welcomed the guest of honor
and her delegation to the workshop and thanked them and the participants for attending and being part
of the event. The project leader later welcomed the Iringa District Commissioner, Madame Evangeline
Mabula who introduced the Guest of Honor, the Iringa Region Commissioner Madame Amina Masenza,
and the Iringa Region Administrative Secretary (RAS), Madame Wamoja Ayubu. She later handed it to
Prof. Kashaigili (the host) who welcomed the Guest of Honor to officially open the workshop. The
workshop program is included in Appendix 2.
1.6
Official Opening Speech
The guest of honor thanked the organizers for inviting her to attend and officially open the workshop.
She thanked the project team and donors for considering working in the Ihemi Cluster, an important
agricultural cluster and was hoping that the work will benefit the many women and men by providing
necessary information that will be considered in plans for improving productivity and raise their living
standards. She pointed out that Ihemi is an important agricultural cluster, as it is endowed with fertile

land, labor, mixed weather and served by the main road that links it to various markets of agricultural
products including neighboring regions and countries. However, several challenges hinder the ability of
farmers and investors in the cluster including:
 Availability of appropriate inputs at reasonable price and proper time
 Firm plans for wise use of land resources
 Low financial capacity to afford cost of production
 Poor technology for planting, preservation and processing of crops
 Poor crop storage and high post-harvest losses
 High transportation cost due to poor infrastructure
 Climate change which causes rainfall to be highly unreliable
The guest of honor pointed out that the Tanzanian Government's commitment to address the challenges
in collaboration with private sectors, launched the Declaration of Kilimo Kwanza (Agriculture First) that its
implementation in the Corridor and Cluster is part and parcel of the activities of the SAGCOT program.
She was glad to see that SUA, TNC and CIAT intend to do research that aims to address the question of
how best land resources in the cluster can be used to achieve sustainable agriculture.
She called on the workshop participants to realize the importance and responsibility in utilizing land
resources for more productive and sustainable agriculture. The public sector is expected to create an
enabling environment for both large and small investors to benefit from agriculture. On the other hand,
she stressed that the private sector is expected not only to bring firm technology in harvesting and
conserving land resources for sustainable development, but also pull capital for types of investment that
conserve the environment and create jobs in a transparent and gender sensitive manner and make
agriculture an appealing enterprise for the young adults and future generation.
Furthermore, the guest of honor pointed that she expected to see the research providing important data
and information on how different agricultural stakeholders will need to use land for sustainable
agriculture based on efficient use of resources. The increase in number of people who depend on land
resources in the southern corridor of Tanzania requires systems that are stable and thus, effective plans
for efficient land-use in agriculture to benefit both small and large-scale farmers. The research will
investigate the role of gender, especially women involvement in agriculture and economic activities.
The guest of honor further insisted on the importance of understanding the amount of natural resources,
in particular water resources, as well as land and how they are used in the cluster. Such information will
help policy makers and stakeholders in agriculture to have good plans for agricultural revolution in the
Ihemi Cluster. The guest of honor requested participants to be active in the workshop, offer insights of
their knowledge of the cluster to the research team add value to the research and enable the researchers
to produce good results for the benefit of the region and Ihemi Cluster at large. She called on the project
team to ensure that the results will be disseminated to farmers, and other key stakeholders in the cluster
and country. On her part, she promised to have issues related to the project and SAGCOT discussed in all
her future regional meetings.
1.7
Presentations
Four presentations were made at the workshop including the objectives of the workshop presented
briefly by Prof. Japhet Kashaigili, the description of the project done by the project leader Mr. Felix
Kamau, overview of WLE presented by Prof. Zadock Ogutu from WLE/IWMI, and overview of SAGCOT
presented by Mr. John Banga.
In his overview presentation, Prof. Kashaigili explained about the workshop and what it aimed to achieve.
He explained that the workshop was organized for the purpose of introducing it to stakeholders within
and outside the cluster. He said it was an opportunity for the participants to know what is proposed and
LiFELand Workshop Proceedings, 2015

for the project team to learn from stakeholders about the issues and challenges as well as roles and
contribution of different stakeholders in the cluster. He explicated to the participants that the objectives
of the project will only be realized if all the stakeholders worked together.
Mr. John Banga from the SAGCOT Centre, gave an overview of SAGCOT in Tanzania. He explained to the
participants, the different founding partners and how SAGCOT came about. He further elaborated that
SAGCOT's major goal is to foster inclusive, commercially successful agribusiness that will benefit the
region's small scale farmers, and improve food security, reduce rural poverty and ensure environmental
sustainability through a public-private partnership (PPP) model. SAGCOT envisions that by 2030 about
350,000 acres of land will be under cultivation, create employment to about 420,000 people, help about
100,000 small scale farmers and lift two million people permanently out of poverty. He reported that
more than 20 companies have shown interests to invest in the SAGCOT. Prof. Zadock Ogutu, WLE
representative explained about the program, where it is working and what it aims to achieve. He
explained that WLE is funding eight projects in East Africa and the Horn of Africa. He insisted that WLE is
centered on ecosystems. WLE has introduced innovation funds and encourage the participation of
women to produce equal to men, including resource access and participation. He explained that WLE
advocates gender equity in their research project and therefore are interested to see good
representation of women and men in the LiFELand project. He insisted on the importance of
stakeholders’ involvements/engagement in the project. And WLE pays special attention on having a good
communication plan for sharing information.
The project leader Mr. Felix Kamau, gave an overview of the LiFELand project, and the expected
outcomes and outputs. He elaborated that LiFELand is a pilot project in the Ihemi, and the achievements
will be disseminated to other areas. The major objective is to promote sustainable agricultural
development in the Ihemi Cluster. The work in the Ihemi Cluster will depend on the participation of other
stakeholders including government agencies, farmer organization and farmers as well as private investors
and NGOs to realize social and environmental sustainability. He explained that the project will also work
with other projects such as IUCN, WaLETs and others. He insisted that the project will need to identify
champions from the government, private investors, NGOs, those who believe in the vision and others can
see and learn.
The delivered presentations are provided in Appendix 3.
1.7.1 Plenary discussions
After all the presentations, participants had the opportunity to ask questions. Three questions were
asked and deliberately answered by the project team, SAGCOT and other participants.
Qn.1 (a) How can equality between large scale farmers (investors) and smallholder farmers be ensured?
Answer/Suggestion:
 Large scale farmers should work cooperatively with smallholder farmers for example in irrigation
and also large scale farmers should act as hub where smallholder farmers can learn different
agronomic techniques or technologies and market information.
Qn.1 (b) What should be done to ensure stakeholders/investors coming in do not undermine local
farmers so that all sides benefit the investment?
Suggestions:
 We should look for national investment policies already operating.
 The farmers should be well educated about investors i.e. farmers have been misleading due to
some last investors who did not follow instructions/regulations.
LiFELand Workshop Proceedings, 2015

Qn.1 (c) What plans/strategies should ensure well water resource use among water resource users at
Ihemi cluster so that the scenario cannot affect other water users in the chain within and outside Ihemi
cluster?
Suggestion: The project was argued to get together various stakeholders to harmonize water use among
various users.
1.7.2 Group discussions
The participants were divided into four groups; donors and private investors, government agencies, NGOs
and farmers and farmer organizations. There were two questions for discussion which all the four groups
had to respond to. After group discussions, each group presented and a plenary discussion followed as
summarized in Table 1.
Qn 1. Cluster planning is a key requirement for sustainable development, currently SAGCOT is striving
towards achieving this goal, in your own view what are the key challenges to cluster planning?
Qn 2. Based on research project outputs you have heard about, what are your organization contributions
towards realizing these outputs?

1.7.3 From plenary discussions
The group presentations were further discussed and this culminated into a number of recommendations/
suggestions as follows:
 The research consortium team should sort out challenges and opportunities so that they can
come up with right match of who to be engaged in the project
 The challenge of lack in openness among stakeholders to farmers should be addressed by the
government and stakeholders were also argued to have openness
 The government and private sector should work together in implementing projects in addressing
challenges
 There are many stakeholders who can give solutions to the existing challenges in the Ihemi
cluster provided they get involved

2.0
The project was requested that during baseline survey it has to countercheck the available data,
that sometimes the data are misleading e.g. acreage yield data.
The challenge of incorrect data raised some inquiries that:
 Who provide incorrect data?
 What measures or are there measures in place to take for the one providing incorrect
data?
 However, it was addressed that there has been low utilization of research
stations and institutions which are source of good data and therefore calls for
use of such institutions. But these research institutions provide secondary data
and the primary data should be obtained from farmers/community.
 The project should set funds for correct data collection during baseline survey at
Ihemi cluster
 There should be good sampling framework for data collection
Closing Remarks and Way Forward
The expected output of the inception workshop was to familiarize the project to stakeholders, in a
participatory manner, solicit the support, commitment and dedication of different key stakeholders
for the implementation of the project. This was achieved through the contribution and discussions of
the different stakeholders.
As a way forward, the project team promised to collate all the information available within the
cluster and will take onboard suggestions from the meeting to ensure that implementation of the
project benefits smallholder farmers, investors, donors as well as SAGCOT Centre. The meeting was
officially closed by the Iringa District Commissioner who commended the participants for having
participated in this important process and she hoped that it was the beginning of long term
cooperation.
