What we Do

Policy Research

ASPIRES integrates systematic stakeholder engagement into research activities as a way to increase the use of evidence in policy‐making and enhance the sustainability, inclusivity, and transparency of the policy process. The goal is to improve the quality of agricultural and nutrition policy research, and to monitor and evaluate for better informed policy decisions.

We conduct research and generate data in collaboration with Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and where possible, other organizations focused on research and policy engagement in the agriculture, nutrition, trade, and business sectors.

Policy Coordination

ASPIRES coordinates and contributes to constructive, multi-stakeholder policy debates on agricultural, nutrition and rural development alternatives. ASPIRES also encourages dialogue and the exchange of research generated data and evidence among different stakeholders at national and regional levels.

Policy Reform

ASPIRES Tanzania drives meaningful policy reform in the agriculture and nutrition sectors by ensuring that evidence-based insights lead to actionable change. Through systematic stakeholder engagement, ASPIRES integrates inclusive dialogue into every stage of the policy process to enhance the sustainability, inclusivity, and transparency of reforms. We collaborate with key partners—including Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and other relevant institutions—to generate and translate data into practical policy solutions.

Institutional Capacity

ASPIRES systematically identifies areas of intervention in policy reforms to ensure that significant reforms are carried out in the project’s life span. Strengthening policy institutional architecture and capacity builds on platforms and processes established under ASPIRES, including the Policy Analysis Group (PAG) and the Policy and Accountability Committee (PAC). It strengthens the capacities of individuals and institutions such as the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF), Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC), that are likely to play a major role in the present and future agricultural, food, and nutrition policies.
