Jukwaa la Wazalishaji Vijijini Tanzania (JUWAVITA) is an independent loose coalition of smallholder rural producers (SHPs) who are represented by member based Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) that are accountable to its members. The purpose of JUWAVITA is to provide a platform that allow rural producers to engage in knowledge sharing and dialogue with policy makers, civil society and  scientists in order to develop enabling policies that better account for the realities of marginalized rural producers living in poverty and to help bridge the gap between policy formulation and implementation at all levels. JUWAVITA is established as an outcome of long-term discussion on the need to strengthen engagement of SHPs and have a stronger voice on policy dialogue and decision-making platforms. The formulation of the forum started with a meeting of Civil Society Organization’s (CSOs) in April 2017 with support from IFAD and InterAction.

JUWAVITA platform has a total number of 34 member organizations that are representatives of pastoralist, hunters and gatherers, beekeepers, crop growers, livestock keepers, natural resource users and fisher folk’s communities.

Tanzania Post-harvest Management Platform emanated from stakeholders as a move against high level of post-harvest losses in the country. The TPMP, which was launched in 2014, therefore aimed at putting together efforts from different stakeholders dealing with issues on PHM, particularly policy framework. The platform consists of diverse actors along the PHM continuum.
