This article discusses poverty reducing effects of agricultural research, based on existing impact assessment studies from Tanzania. Agricultural research and extension in Tanzania has largely been a public undertaking, and has been characterized by frequent organizational changes. A total of 1203 agricultural research projects implemented during the 1980s and 1990s have been identified in the Southern Highlands and Eastern Zones of the country. For most of these projects, impact studies have not been made on project level.
