ASDP Resettlement Policy Framework RPF for ASDP
Meeting Tanzania’s Poverty Reduction Strategy and Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty by 2015, will require annual GDP growth of at least 6-7 percent which is significantly higher than that achieved over the last decade. As agriculture remains the largest sector in the economy accounting for about half of GDP and exports and 70 percent of rural incomes, higher agricultural growth is a key requirement to meeting the MDGs.
Future agricultural growth and profitability will need to rely more on productivity gains with the reduced space for further improvements in macro-economic policy, a key contributing factor to improved agricultural incentives in the late 1980s and 1990s
