The Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (“SAGCOT”) Initiative is a Public-Private Partnership initiated at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Africa (WEFA) Summit in Dar es Salaam in 2010.

Its implementation period runs for 20 years up to 2030. Its ultimate objective is to boost agricultural productivity, improve food security, reduce poverty and ensure environmental sustainability through the commercialization of smallholder agriculture. The mandate of the Partnership is to achieve this objective by catalyzing responsible private sector-led agriculture development within an ever-improving business environment. The Partners’ implementation arrangements are governed by the following partnership principles:

1. Engaging smallholder farmers and ensure environmental sustainability through their investments;

1. Partnering with others to promote a harmonized approach and improve synergies within and across priority value chains;
2. Maintaining engagement, communication and support for the SAGCOT Centre;
3. Contributing to the resolution of policy and infrastructure constraints; and
4. Considering new and innovative financing mechanisms.

The SAGCOT Initiative is the dream, but in order to turn the dream into reality, it needs an action plan and an operational support system to actualise the dream. This operational support system is the SAGCOT Centre Ltd.
