| description | Access to timely, quality sweetpotato planting vines in the Lake Zone of Tanzania can improve food security and nutrition, especially during times of drought, crop disease, and hunger. The Marando Bora project has established and trained 88 decentralized vine multipliers (DVMs) and an estimated 110,000 households have received quality vines, the majority of who are women. Research activities are contributing to our knowledge of what factors influence the sustainability of community-based multipliers compared to a mass dissemination model. |
