Abstract:
This article presents experiences with collaborative and on-farm research based on the
implementation of a four-year Programme for Agricultural and Natural Resources Transformation

Tanzania. It outlines the basic elements in the implementation of a programme aimed to be
demand-based, and discusses the challenges encountered in combining collaborative research
with the empowerment of farmers. Finally, the article draws out some lessons with implications
for the future organisation of collaborative and on-farm agricultural research.
