In order to implement Tanzania's Agricultural Climate Resilience Plan (ACRP), the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Co-operatives (MAFC) needs to know which technologies they should invest in and promote in the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT). However, the SAGCOT is agriculturally, climatically, and culturally diverse, and there is little clear evidence on the costs and benefits of water-use technologies in this region on which to base their decision. Therefore, we developed a Bayesian Belief Network for the suitability of CSA options in the SAGCOT to support the MAFC's investment decisions in the face of uncertainty and variability in climate, demographics, and option performance.
