Title:
Burundi-Tanzania - Feasibility Studies and Detailed Design of Multinational Roads Linking Burundi and Tanzania
Detail:
The proposed Project concerns the upgrading of Kabingo – Kasulu - Manyovu Road Section (260 km) in Tanzania and Rumonge - Gitaza Road Section (45 km) in Burundi on the Central Corridor. This road section is part of the East African roads network and links the Port of Dar es Salaam to the regional markets in Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Corridor is also a priority under the Project for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). The project is expected to facilitate mobility, boost regional trade and open up access to rural areas. More specifically, it will facilitate the movement of goods and persons along the Kabingo – Kasulu – Manyovu – Gitaza - Rumonge road thereby boosting trade between the two Countries and with the EAC region and increasing community access to basic services. The project has five components, namely: (i) road development and mitigation of negative environmental and social impacts; (ii) related developments and women’s empowerment measures; (iii) road safety, Institutional support and Capacity Building; (iv) Transport and Trade Facilitation and (v) project management.
