Opportunities for Improvement
This brief discusses the scope for improving agricultural input subsidies with reference to the implementation of NAIVS in Tanzania (2010/11– 2011/12). It begins with the importance of awareness of NAIVS and examines the awareness levels among the farmers in the programme. The discussion then addresses the challenges encountered in service delivery, particularly with reference to the Village Voucher Committee, which is responsible for administering the input subsidies. The brief concludes with policy recommendations.
