The Coastal Rural Support Programme Tanzania (CRSPT) was a long-running initiative implemented by the Aga Khan Foundation and funded by a range of donors, including DFID, the EU, and others. CRSPT operates in Lindi and Mtwara regions of southern Tanzania. One of the initiatives of CRSPT was Food Security and Incomes, a 5-year program funded by DFID focused on the rice and sesame value chains. 

MSA provided ongoing support for the implementation of a market systems development approach including a value chain analysis, rice price analysis for the rice sector, and developing an MSD approach to implement.
