Impact of Multistakeholder Dialogues in Agriculture: The Case of Sunflower Development in Tanzania, 2022

Though the proponents of MSDs promote the application of MSD methodology, handful examples exist of how it fosters business-enabling environment in the agriculture sector and benefit the smallholder farmers. Thus, this case study demonstrates the power of multi-stakeholder dialogues (MSDs) in coordinating ecosystem market actors' increased industry voice in edible oil/seeds, with example from sunflower development in Tanzania. The case study is a flashback to SNV's experience in influencing edible oils policy changes in the country through MSD methodology. The case study draws an example from SNV Netherlands Development Organisation's experience in facilitating series of multi-stakeholder dialogues in sunflower sector development using a framework of Oilseeds Multi-stakeholders Forum (OMSF). From highly uncoordinated actors to alliance building, the case study attests the uniqueness of MSDs in reforming, tackling policy and market constraints in sunflower value chain in the country. The initiative resulted in the establishment and development of alliances-the Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Association (TEOSA), Tanzania Sunflower Processors Association (TASUPA), Sunflower Oilseeds Processors Alliances (CEZOSOPA and UMAMBE). TEOSA and TASUPA in collaboration with the sunflower oil processing alliances of CEZOSOPA and UMAMBE, succeeded in changing sunflower business environment in the country. After succeeding in claiming space in the Ministry of Industries, Trade and Investment task force, the alliances managed to influence, for the first time in sunflower history in Tanzania, the government to come up with a five years sunflower development strategy.

To that effect, this article presents main features of New Public Management (NPM) model developed by hard-core scholars from Western Countries using the tenets of Thatcherism. The features have helped the Great Britain and other countries to molest state controlled economy and the resultant inefficient and ineffective public sector. Now in the new world order, the shift from the inefficient traditional public management and the need for governance reform is justified. Its proponents are fanning the paradigm shift for improved economic efficiency and effectiveness. Although the founder of the model, Margaret Thatcher has died, the features and elements of NPM remain key and instrumental for the developing countries. The author argues with examples that the uptake of...

Two reasons: the retreat of centralized government and the keen interest of donors. In the era of governance reform, one of the NGO's key mandates is to advance social, political, and economic development. To succeed at this, NGOs must reassess their operations. NGOs in the South ought to shift from implementing their own programs to building the community's capacity to achieve sustainable livelihoods. And NGOs in the North ought to concentrate on helping Southern ones achieve their goals.
