Tanzania's livestock minister, Dr Bashiru Ally, distributed 300 motorcycles to extension officers working across local government areas in Dar es Salaam. He told the officers to lock in with livestock keepers by sharing solid info, pushing education, dropping professional advice, spreading tech knowledge, and collecting feedback about how those technologies actually work out in the field.
Ally wants extension workers addressing every problem that livestock keepers run into, and he said they should flag anything that needs ministry-level intervention. Professor Riziki Shemdoe from the Prime Minister's Office grabbed the bikes on behalf of all the extension officers nationwide, and she promised Bashiru the motorcycles would get proper maintenance and actually be used for their real purpose.
