Implementing Global Food Security Priorities

Tanzania faces profound challenges ensuring its food security. The government will need sound policies for all people to have physical and economic access to sufficient food to meet their dietary needs for a productive and healthy life.

Building on the Capstone project work by the Booz Allen Hamilton Capstone team in the fall 2009 semester, the Capstone team was tasked to produce original concept papers that examine the implications of domestic trade and agricultural policies on household food security in Tanzania. In this context, food security implies the ability of households in a given area to access and utilize the quantity and quality of food necessary to support a healthy lifestyle. The policy papers produced by the SIPA team provided Booz Allen Hamilton and its client, the US Agency for International Development, with insights into further developing the AgCLIR program (Agribusiness Climate Legal and Institutional Reform), a USAID funded project implemented by Booz Allen Hamilton.
