SFTZ uses research to measure the impacts of development projects and
leverages that information to build learning networks that connect rural
communities and their stakeholders in the private, public and
charitable organizations at local, national and international levels.
SFTZ integrates quantitative and qualitative methods that measure
outcomes related to socio-economics, including: maternal and child
health, nutrition and food security, anthropometric measures,
institutional analyses, HIV/AIDS, natural resource use, gender
differences, education, livestock and agricultural production, and
conservation, to help alleviate poverty in rural areas and sustain
natural resources in Tanzania. The SFTZ research team conducts surveys,
in-depth interviews, and focus groups discussion—surveys are collected
using tablets and are geocoded.
