dc.description.abstractAiming to boost household food security and nutrition in resource-constrained, semi-arid areas of Tanzania, a system of integrating dairy goats (Toggenburg and Norwegian breeds) with production of cassava and sweet potato is being studied. Women in agro-pastoral societies in Tanzania typically have low incomes, limited access to resources and are of poor nutritional status. The project methodology addresses gender roles, access, control and ownership of resources, and decision-making among smallholders. It provides a model for establishing dairy goat enterprises in semi-arid areas and has created new hope in test communities, helping alleviate low agricultural productivity and malnutrition.en
