Abstract
Promoting agricultural innovations and technologies among smallholder farmers can be enhanced through
Public Private Partnership (PPP). This study attempted to explore challenges faced while promoting agricultural
innovations under PPP based on experiences from a project on Enhancing Sunflower Production in Kilosa and
Mvomero Districts in Tanzania. Despite of the benefits attained by partners including farmers having an
opportunity to learn new agronomic practices and learning by doing and testing new sunflower varieties through
trials conducted under Farmer Field Schools, among the challenges identified include partners’ divergent
objectives and expectations which stalled the whole process of partnership and necessitated a re-planning of the
project
