| Traceability ICT training for SMEs in Tanzania |

| Gwynne Foster | 2008 | SMEs IN FOOD PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING CAN BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE ADHERENCE TO TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS
A highly successful traceability ICT training course held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, showed that SMEs can indeed be competitive through adherence to traceability requirements.
Gwynne Foster of the South African Fresh Produce Traceability Project was one of the presenters at the event which was organised by the SME Competitive Facility (SCF) and supported by Danida, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Here she reports on the outcomes.
International food safety and food hygiene regulations and trade standards require that all food is traceable to source, and that movements of food products through supply chains can be tracked “from farm to fork” and traced from “fork to farm”. Traceability is also a key element of phytosanitary requirements of importing countries which are designed to prevent the spread of pests and disease. In the event of a problem, authorities and businesses must quickly access and report on information relating to whatever conditions are relevant to the specific situation.

| Information and Communication Technology development in Tanzania: A case study of innovation processes |
| Author | Dates | Summary |
| Moens,Nicolaas P; Broerse;Jacqueline E.W. and Bunders,Joske F.G. | 2008 | Sustainable and scalable Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects are rare in Sub Sahara Africa. Information System (IS) implementation theories are insufficient to explain apparently 'irrationalities' that limit implementation and sustainability. This study analyses a rare success story. A municipality on the East Coast of Africa innovated successfully with ICT in a sustainable way. This case is untangled and analysed over a six years period, based on interviews, documentation and direct observation. Based on an interpretive approach of Constructive Technology Assessment, the main processes were identified that contributed to success. These processes are well recognised in innovation management. The consistent framework of processes it generates to explain ICT?based innovation, opens up possibilities to influence and synchronise these processes and to increase the chances of success for ICT projects. The study concludes with drawing implications for IS research and the practise of development cooperation.

| ICT4RD programme: Business Framework for Wami Pilot Project Report |
| Author | Dates | Summary |
| Bwamkuu, Africa | 2007 | Despite the fact that 80% of Tanzanians are living in rural areas, the access to information and communication services are only limited to urban areas. The situation is largely contributed by belief that purchasing power of rural people is so little such that common people in rural are only worried about daily bread and not services from advanced technologies. |
