Agritech4Tanzania
Accelerator 2026
Digitise. Analyse. Monetise
The AgriTech4Tanzania Accelerator is a nine-month pilot programme that helps Tanzanian AgriTech enterprises optimise their digital data solutions and scale their impact on smallholder farmers. It responds directly to national priorities set out in Tanzania Development Vision 2050 (Dira 2050) and the Agricultural Sector Development Programme II (ASDP II), with a focus on food security, climate resilience, and inclusive digital transformation.
The Accelerator is powered by the Data for Digital Agriculture Transformation in Tanzania (D4DAT) Joint Programme, funded by the European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) through the Joint SDG Fund. It is jointly implemented by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and Tanzania's Ministry of Agriculture, in partnership with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT of CGIAR and Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP), and Tanzania Data Lab (dLab).
Who can apply?
The Accelerator is open to post-revenue AgriTech enterprises registered in Tanzania, and to CGIAR innovations that will be scaled in Tanzania. It is not open to individual applicants. Applicants should be able to demonstrate legal standing, financial position, team competence, investment need, and a clear benefit to smallholder farmers or agricultural value chain actors in Tanzania.
