Critical analyses of variability and trends in the historical climatic conditions are crucial in designing and implementing action plans to improve resilience and reduce the risks of exposure to harsh climatic conditions. However, in Tanzania, less is known about the variability and trends in the recent climatological conditions. The current study examined variability and trends in rainfall of major agroecological zones in Tanzania (1o - 12oS, 21o - 41oE) using station data from seven locations i.e. Hombolo, Igeri, Ilonga, Naliendele, Mlingano, Tumbi, and Ukiliguru which had records from 1981 to 2020 and two locations i.e. Dodoma and Tanga having records from 1958 to 2020. The variability in annual rainfall was high in Hombolo and Tanga locations (CV ≥ 28%) and low in Igeri (CV = 16%). The OND season showed the highest variability in rainfall (34% to 61%) as compared to the MAM (26% to 36%) and DJFMA (20% to 31%) seasons. We found increasing and decreasing trends in the number of rainy days in Ukiliguru and Tanga respectively, and a decreasing trend in the MAM rainfall in Mlingano. The trends in other locations were statistically insignificant. We assessed the forecast skills of seasonal rainfall forecasts issued by the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA) and IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) Climate Prediction and Application Center (ICPAC). We found TMA forecasts had higher skills compared to ICPAC forecasts, however, our assessment was limited to MAM and OND seasons due to the unavailability of seasonal forecasts of the DJFMA season issued by ICPAC. Moreover, we showed that Integration of SCF with SSTa increases the reliability of the SCF to 80% at many locations which present an opportunity for better utilization of the SCF in agricultural decision making and better management of climate risks.Item Extrapolation suitability for improved vegetable technologies in Babati District, Tanzania(Presentation, 2021-03) Muthoni, F.; Ochieng, J.; Delore, J.-M.; Lukumay, Philipo J.; Dominic, I.Item Photo report on the Tanzanian team experience sharing visits to the land management intervention sites of the Africa RISING project in the Ethiopian Highlands, 20-25 January 2019(Photo Report, 2019-01-25) Mekonnen, Kindu; Tamene, Lulseged D.Item Using typologies for technology targeting(Presentation, 2017-09-12) Groot, Jeroen C.J.; Haile, Beliyou; Azzarri, CarloItem Field visits of the Africa RISING sites in Tanzania (1-12 March 2018): Observations, lessons and suggestions(Presentation, 2018-04-06) Mekonnen, KinduItem Long-term trends of rainfall identify priority zones for targeting climate smart agricultural technologies in East and South Africa(Presentation, 2018-04-08) Muthoni, F.; Odongo, V.; Ochieng, J.; Hoeschle-Zeledon, IrmgardItem Photo report on the field visits to Africa RISING Malawi project sites in Dedza, Machinga and Mangochi districts, 15-17 February 2017(Photo Report, 2017-02-17) Chikowo, Regis; Odhong, JonathanItem Building resilience into agricultural research for resource-limited farming communities in Africa(Presentation, 2017-04-05) Chikowo, RegisItem Strengthening orange fleshed sweet potato planting material systems: Legacy, loose ends and exit strategy(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Chipungu, Felistus P.; Chiona, M.; Mudenda, S.; Nkhoma, A.K.Item Commercializing Aflasafe as a biocontrol for aflatoxins in Zambia: implementation progress and achievements(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Akello, J.Item Commercializing Aflasafe as a biocontrol for aflatoxins: Legacy, loose ends and exit strategy(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Akello, J.Item Sustainable intensification of low-input agriculture systems in the Eastern Province of Zambia: implementation, progress and achievements(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Thierfelder, Christian L.; Setimela, Peter; Mutenje, M.Item Improving legume seed delivery systems in the Eastern Province of Zambia: Implementation progress and achievements(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Chikoye, David; Siambi, M; Kanenga, K.; Chisanga, D.; Okori, PatrickItem Improving legume seed delivery systems: Legacy, loose ends and exit strategy(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Chikoye, David; Siambi, M; Kanenga, K.; Chisanga, D.; Okori, PatrickItem The contribution of Africa RISING research to development outcomes(Presentation, 2017-09-18) Hoeschle-Zeledon, Irmgard; Bekunda, Mateete A.; Sseguya, H.; Mruma, S.Item Africa RISING going to scale in the Eastern Province of Zambia Project: Overview of activities and expected outcomes(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Bekunda, Mateete A.Item Strengthening Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato planting material systems in the Eastern Province of Zambia: Implementation, progress and achievements(Presentation, 2017-09-07) Chipungu, Felistus P.; Chiona, M.; Mudenda, S.; Nkhoma, A.K.Item AR-NAFAKA Project Post-harvest Component: 2016-2017 Progress(Presentation, 2017-07-03) Gaspar, A.; Mwakyami, W.; Shabani, I.; Ndunguru, G.; Mutungi, C.; Abass, A.
