Assessing the Drivers of Tanzania's Fertilizer Subsidy Programs from 2003-2016: An Application of the Kaleidoscope Model of Policy Change

In this paper we study fertilizer subsidy schemes in Tanzania from 2003/04 through 2015/16 to better understand the key factors that led to the design and reform of various fertilizer subsidy programs in Tanzania over time and to serve as a case study to test the hypotheses from the Kaleidoscope Model of the key drivers of agricultural policy change. The analysis is based on a combination of key informant interviews and secondary literature.
