CLINTON Development Initiative Tanzania
At the inaugural meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005, President Clinton made a commitment to improve economic growth in Africa.
From this commitment, President Clinton began the Clinton Development Initiative (CDI), to help support smallholder farmers and families in Africa to meet their own food needs and improve their livelihoods.
Working at the invitation of the governments of Malawi, Rwanda and Tanzania, CDI works with farmers to transform subsistence agriculture into a catalyst for social and economic change.
When families are empowered to secure their own food and support themselves financially, communities become more resilient – economies grow, jobs are created, and together, we build a strong foundation for the future.
