KTA collaborates with both public and private sector associations, youth-led and women focused institutions, and national and local government authorities to enhance horticulture market systems in Tanzania. KTA will form partnerships with associations, cooperatives, companies, and enterprises and catalyze interventions to co-create market-based and locally owned solutions, leading to increased economic opportunities in horticulture market systems, especially for youth. The purpose of KTA is to sustainably increase economic opportunities in horticulture market systems, especially for youth.
The Activity will achieve this by:
Objective 1: Strengthening the horticulture market system to increase enterprise and employment opportunities.
Objective 2: Increasing access to commercially provided and productivity-enhancing agricultural technologies.
Objective 3: Strengthening the enabling environment for market systems development.
To achieve these objectives, KTA uses a demand-driven approach to facilitate the design and implementation of appropriate, locally led solutions. KTA will orient partners, clientele, and stakeholders to specific market and business opportunities that have the potential to engage youth, catalyze business to business and public and private partnerships (PPPs). The activity will also incorporate horticulture market systems climate change risk analyses through collaboration and co-financing of locally led business development and technical assistance solutions. KTA will support enterprises and associations to develop and implement strategic plans to maximize economic opportunities for youth. Through this process, KTA will help establish a network of Tanzanian business service providers, consulting firms, research institutions, and civil society organizations that can deliver business development, research, technical assistance, and capacity building services to horticulture market systems.
