Challenges and constraints
Gender Low participation of women in the Babati district Land ownership as limiting factor (Massai region)
Floods and droughts Wrong decisions on site selection (prone to floods or
no access to reliable irrigation schemes/drought) Relocation of demonstration plots Demonstration plot in Kibaya secondary school dried out
Power struggle for leadership/village politics Low participation due to power struggle in Maweni village (Babati) Changing leadership
Inputs Availability of adequate chemicals (e.g. tuta absoluta) Quality of inputs (what happens after completion of project activities)
Market access Complains about unreliable market demand/price variations Unequally allocated market power (in particular for leafy vegetables)

Lessons learned - success factors and need for improvement
Success factors (general) Commitment of the group and good group governance (good local leaders,
motivated group) Motivated extension staff Reliable access to (irrigation) water
Success factors (technical) General seed germination performance was excellent Introduction of new crops (African Nightshade, Jute Mallow) Selection of varieties (Tengeru 2010 – late blight resistance; Afr. Nightshade –
appearance, broader leaves, drought resistance, high market demand; Jute Mallow –soft leaves, appearance; Amaranth – possibility to have several harvests)
Spacing – improved plant health and plant appearance motivation Establish direct links to seed companies (Tengeru 2010 in Kongwa)
Activities that need improvement Market access activities Improving group dynamics joint purchase of inputs and sale of products Women participation (in Babati district) Access to seeds, fertilizers and chemicals17 of 19
www.avrdc.org
Lessons learned – changes in Year II
1) Market access training Improve group dynamics encourage collective action (input purchase, basic
postharvest technologies/facilities and sale of products) Market assessment (access to market information) Improve negotiation power
2) Women quota Pre-assessment of women’s role in the village community Stronger sensitization of village extension officers and group leaders
3) Careful selection of group leaders Test motivation and reliability
4) Site selection Careful selection of demonstration plots Test the motivation of the farmer who provides the land for the demonstration
plots Define benefits of the owner of the demonstration plot Assure that the group selection of demo plots includes reliable water sources
