1\. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
Lutheran World Relief LWR is a U.S.-based 501c3 organization founded in
1945 with a mission to end poverty, injustice, and human suffering. LWR is
helping some of the world’s poorest communities transform from survival to
sustainability, focusing on humanitarian assistance; laying the foundation for
resilience; sustainable adaptation to climate change; and value-chain based
long-term development.

form.html
LWR has worked in Tanzania since 1961, partnering with the Ministry of
Agriculture and other local public and private stakeholders to strengthen
long-term food security. In Tanzania, LWR specializes in building the local
capacity of farmers’ organizations to provide sustainable, equitable, and
value-add services to their members. Through these organizations, LWR trains
farmers in improved crop husbandry and post-harvest handling and marketing
techniques. LWR also helps link the organizations and their members to
financial institutions and other extension service providers. To date, LWR has
supported Tanzanian farmers organizations producing and selling value chain
horticultural crops grapes, tomatoes, onions, ginger, cereals maize, rice,
sorghum, vegetables, oilseeds sesame, sunflower, coffee, beans, and
potatoes.

LWR implemented Investing in New Ventures of Entrepreneurial Students in
Tanzania INVEST project over a three-year period from October 2017 to
September 2020. The project is designed to address the challenge of the
agricultural training education system in Tanzania which is disconnected from
labor market demands and the challenge of the incompetence of graduates on
self-employment. The disconnect has led to agricultural practitioners lacking
necessary competence in the labor market and self-employment. The overall goal
of the project is to strengthen the long-term employment prospects of youth
male and female in the Ministry of Agriculture Training Institutes MATIs
so they are equipped for employment upon graduation. This objective will be
achieved through the following two outcomes
Outcome 1 Targeted MATIs produce skilled agricultural labor force that
meets market needs
Output 1.1 Targeted MATIs design a curriculum that meets the demands of the
agriculture workforce
Output 1.2 Targeted MATIs implement a revised curriculum that meets the
demands for employment in the agriculture labor force
Output 1.3 Targeted Youth have increased access to internship opportunities
that demonstrate skills and training

Outcome 2 Targeted youth are equipped for self-employment upon graduation
Output 2.1 Targeted youth gain expertise in business development and planning
