Boosting small-scale dairy production in Tanzania

Tanzania Inclusive Processor-Producer Partnerships in Dairy Project (TI3P) is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and led by the Tanzania Agricultural Development Bank (TADB). The project is enabling public-private partnerships to increase the incomes of small-scale dairy producers in Tanzania. Through the project's efforts, producers are gaining access to formal milk aggregation, processing, and marketing systems while sustainably increasing their on-farm production. Producers are also gaining access to much-needed inputs and services that will help their businesses thrive, such as cattle vaccines, feed, forage, and genetics. The project is prioritizing women's economic empowerment by actively encouraging their participation in the dairy sector, while increasing their access and control over productive assets. As a result of all these changes, safe, nutritious dairy products will become more widely available in both rural and urban areas. Land O'Lakes Venture37 is a sub-awardee of TADB, along with Bain & Company, Heifer International, and the Global Dairy Platform.
