National Agroforestry Strategy II (2024-2031).

The second NAS (2024-2031) will guide all interventions under the nine components that were identified as essential in the first NAS (2004–2025), and other interventions in relation to the four policy areas, and three cross-cutting issues as highlighted in the NFPIS (2021-2031). The nine components include: Adequate and sustainable supply of diverse and quality germplasm; location specific and farmers’ responsive technologies; capacity building; awareness; dissemination of participatory agroforestry technologies; networking with stakeholders; policy and legal framework; market and information access; and implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The four policy areas and three cross-cutting issues include: forest land management, forest-based industries and products, ecosystem conservation and management, institutions and human resources, HIV/AIDS, gender and governance. Goal: To enhance the contribution of Agroforestry sub-sector for optimal land productivity, sustainable intensification (SI) of the resources, and livelihood improvement while contributing to biodiversity conservation, environmental sustainability, climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience of the ecological base in Tanzania. The specific objectives are: (i) Improved and sustained supply of diverse and quality tree germplasm suitable for the different agro-ecologies and landscapes for provision of the multiple ecosystem goods and services from the different Agroforestry systems. (ii) Enhanced national capacity to manage and effectively develop Agroforestry practices in collaboration with other stakeholders on research, training, and provision of extension services. (iii) Improved value addition, markets and access to market information systems of Agroforestry products and services within and outside the country. (iv) Increased role of Agroforestry on enhanced land restoration, food security, climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience of the ecological base for sustainable provision of agro-based ecosystem goods and services. (v) Improved effective communication and networking among Agroforestry stakeholders within and outside the country. (vi) Increased mainstreaming of HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) related issues in Agroforestry. (vii) Enhanced gender mainstreaming and diversity across Agroforestry interventions. (viii) Increased financing mechanisms and governance of the different Agroforestry interventions
