one-third of the population of Tanzania lives below the basic needs
poverty line. People living in poverty struggle to provide their
families with the things they need. They can’t invest in improved seeds
or fertilizer and therefore increase the amount of food their families

This
situation highlights the need for interventions focused specifically on

assets; and also enable poverty-stricken households to invest in their
futures and improve their livelihoods in the long-term.
