The Government of Tanzania has formulated a number of policies, strategies, and programs guided by its Tanzania Development Vision 2025 (URT, Planning Commission 2005), which sets long-term development goals to turn Tanzania into a middle-income country by 2025 and make it competitive in the globalized world economy.. Because the Tanzanian economy depends on agriculture, all strategies for sustainable development have identified agriculture and food security as critical pillars to poverty alleviation. The following policy documents have been informed by the aspirations of Vision 2025: the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), the Agriculture and Livestock Policy of 1997 (currently under review), the National Food Security Policy (final draft), the Agricultural Sector Development Strategy, the Agricultural Sector Development Program, and the National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Alleviation.
