Note: N2Africa has an established network of formalized partnerships partners in Tanzania which spans NGO-Value Chain actors and private sector chain actors. This network provides a link with major value chain initiatives in both countries. It has been established through previous and ongoing projects and programmes but now forms part of GALA.

ASHC defines the four roles carried out by partners as:

  • Knowledge partners (K) with proven technologies, or practices, to share
  • Research partners (R) that work with the team to learn lessons and assess outcomes
  • Input partners (I) that are keen to establish sustainable supply chains for the required inputs – usually private sector
  • Delivery partners (D) using different media and/or interpersonal approaches to reach farmers
