About ANSAF

ANSAF (Agriculture Non-State Actors Forum) is a member–led forum involving organisations and individuals from the commercial sector, non-governmental organisations (NGO) sector (both Tanzanian and international) and from farmers’ groups in Tanzania. It is a forum for non-state actors to discuss and work towards solutions to improve the agriculture sector in the interests of men and women currently living in poverty.  It was formed in 2006 by members from the private and civil society organizations, farmers’umbrella groups working in the agricultural sector in Tanzania. During its initial stage it was known as Private Sector and Civil Society Agricultural Working Group (PSCS-AWG).  The main objectives of ANSAF are

·                To develop a shared and common understanding of the challenges, threats and opportunities that the sector faces
·               To develop common positions and joint actions toward influencing policies and practices that hinder the development of the sector

Vision
A Tanzanian Society free of poverty where sound agricultural policies and best practices contribute to the transformation of the country’s economy.
