The main preoccupation of rural poor communities in Tanzania is the availability of year-round household food security to all family members. Shortages of food have become a recurring phenomenon especially in areas receiving poor rainfall. Food allocations are frequently provided to help starving families. Sporadic droughts and disregard for husbandry of drought-resistant crops are major causes of hunger. A down-to-earth household food security program, known as ONJAMA was introduced and carried out in Masasi district of southern Tanzania, which in practical terms, was the locus of a successful locally-organized and self-reliant household food security program that received fame in the country and abroad.
