The Sustainable Asset Valuation of the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) Initiative: A focus on irrigation infrastructure
This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) uses the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) tool to compare the financial and socioeconomic impacts of flood versus drip irrigation for the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) initiative, specifically within the Kilombero Valley. The analysis demonstrates that while drip irrigation has higher initial costs, it significantly improves water efficiency, unlocks additional productive land, and enhances long-term financial viability when environmental and social externalities are factored into the valuation.
