The overall objective of the WFP Farm to Market Alliance (FTMA) in Tanzania is to link smallholder maize farmers/farmer organizations to offtake contracts from reputable buyers, thereby enabling access to pre-harvest financing from commercial banks, delivery of improved inputs and provision of technical assistance/capacity building to farmers/farmer organizations. The objective of this Advisory Services Project will be to mitigate the risks associated with farmer organizations to i.) deliver on the offtake contracts and ii.) ensure proper financial and business management in carrying out their services to their members. Other FTMA partners will focus on technical assistance needs at the farm level while a related IFC Investment Project will focus on provision of finance to farmer organizations. The Advisory Services project objective is to provide capacity building activities to improve the professionalism of smallholder farmer organizations so that they can function more effectively as businesses and provide better services to their members. The FtMA project will provide capacity building support to 100 farmer organizations that have been selected for participation by WFP. By the end of implementation, the following objectives will be achieved: - Improved managerial capability of 66 farmer organizations as measured by all participating farmer organizations achieving a SCOPE Basic (performance benchmarking) score of at least 3.5 out of 5 on a zero to 5 scale, - Better long term planning of 100 farmer organizations through development of business plans, and - Increased access to pre-harvest financing and improved inputs at 50 farmer organizations as measured by the loan management records of participating financial institutions and the stock-keeping records of participating input suppliers and farmer organizations. - Reach 40,000 farmers.
