Agriculture in Tanzania is responsible for 85% of national freshwater withdrawals, yet inefficient practices mean that up to 45% is lost. The 2030 WRG is working with 3000 farmers in the Pangani and Rufiji Basins to increase access to financing for improved water technologies like drip irrigation systems. A research team is helping connect farmers to buyers for their produce. This will secure a stable income for farmers, and allow them to pay back irrigation financing loans. Establishing these connections also helps farmers improve their credit ratings, increase their chances of successfully applying for future loans and gain better financial stability.
