Job Description

The major purpose of the study is to inform AKF strategy and programming in the agricultural livelihood sector in Lindi and Mtwara regions by understanding the effects of the CRSPT rice and sesame production and market development project on gender relations of beneficiary farmers.

4.         Based on the findings of the study recommend how CRSPT could adjust its strategy and approach in current and future projects to address these issues and ensure that men, women and youth benefit equitably from CRSP(T) initiatives in southern Tanzania. Identify both opportunities and/or constraints in incorporating these recommendations.
