Summary: This emergency appeal was launched to respond to a drought and food insecurity situation in Tanzania by providing relief food to five targeted districts namely; Ngorongoro, Simanjiro, Same, Rombo and Mwanga. Food assistance was urgently needed for 2,760 most food insecure households in these five districts, for a period of two months. Early recovery activities were also planned focusing on improving food production in the affected communities through support of agricultural inputs (fertilizer and seeds), farming tools (hoes, machetes, axes and shovels) and imparting the community with dry land farming techniques. The response operation has made significant achievements against the planned objectives, as detailed within.
