HELVETAS
Swiss Intercooperation (HELVETAS) is an independent Swiss development
organization (Swiss INGO) actively contributing to improvement of the
living conditions and status of economically poor and socially
disadvantaged people in more than 33 developing countries. In its
program in Tanzania, HELVETAS has been implementing development
initiatives in two thematic fields of Skills Development and Education
(SDE) and Sustainable and Inclusive Economics (SIE) through various
projects including Hifadhi Nafaka Salama (Save Safe Food), a 3-year
(August 2019 – September 2022) postharvest management initiative funded
by Danida Market Development Partnerships (DMDP) in Rukwa, Katavi and
Morogoro Regions.
Also locally known as Hifadhi Nafaka Salama, It
is among the HELVETAS Tanzania initiatives to empower smallholder
farmers to store maize grains in a safe manner and as the result;
creates employment for youth, strengthens food security and income among
rural farming communities in the country. The project is implemented in
collaboration with the two commercial partners (A to Z Textile Mills
Limited and Pee Pee Tanzania Limited), two Regional Administrative
Secretary (RAS; Rukwa and Katavi) and nine Local Government Authorities
(LGAs).
The project aims to promote improved postharvest
management (PHM) for maize, including large-scale adoption of tarpaulin
and hermetic bags to store maize in a safe manner. The commercial
objective is to enable two manufacturers of hermetic bags (AtoZ and
PPTL) to establish sustainable supply systems, thus generating
employment and income opportunities along the input and distribution
value chain. The project will directly contribute to SDG Goal 8.2 to
achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification,
technological upgrading and innovation.
