Project Concern International Country Director, Tanzania


OVERVIEW PCI began operations in Tanzania in 2008. In cooperation with its local partners, PCI implemented a comprehensive and sustainable water and sanitation and hygiene education program in the northern region of the country. The program directly impacted over 30,000 people in vulnerable communities of Manyara’s Babati District through the construction and/or rehabilitation of water points; construction of latrines; improvement of hygiene and sanitation practices; and empowerment of the target communities, in particular women. In 2010, in partnership with the Tanzanian government and local communities, PCI initiated a USDA-funded, three-year school feeding (Food for Education) program aimed at increasing enrollment and attendance of pre- and primary school children through the provision of school-based meals; improving healthy learning environments; and improving quality learning environments. The project is benefitting nearly 75,000 children and teachers as well as reaching 169,000 community members in the districts of Musoma Rural and Bunda located in Mara Region, which suffers from some of the highest levels of chronic poverty, persistent drought and food insecurity in the country. USDA recently awarded PCI a three-year follow on Food for Education program that will further expand PCI’s impact.
In partnership with Kansas State University (Prime), PCI will also implement a research program to test the nutritional efficacy and consumer acceptance of novel, high-protein micronutrient fortified blended foods that can be used for nutritional programs in Tanzania among children 6-59 months of age. If acceptable, the products could diversify the bouquet of processed food aid commodities and lead to greater demand for drought resistant/tolerant sorghum, soybean, and cowpea crops in Africa, and help reduce the dependence on corn that is protein deficient and vulnerable to drought.
