The Road Sector Support Project I involves the construction of civil works for the asphalting of the Iringa-Dodoma Road (260 km) and the Namtumbo-Tunduru Road (193 km), institutional capacity building of the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) and the restructuring of the Ministry of Communications and Transport (MoCT) in Zanzibar. The two proposed roads are located in regional corridors and will therefore improve cross-border trade with Tanzania's neighbours, while promoting tourism and regional integration. The project also includes other separate components, respectively for : (i) design review, procurement preparation and supervision services for civil works; (ii) road safety; (iii) HIV/AIDS, STI and TB control; (iv) monitoring of ESMP implementation and collection of baseline data; and (iv) compensation and resettlement. The implementation period is planned to be five years. The resources required to finance the project amount to UA 230.61 million.
The sector goal is to contribute to socio-economic development, poverty reduction and regional integration through an improved transport system that links centres of economic activity. The project objective is to improve transport services between Iringa and Dodoma and between Tunduru and Namtumbo and to support the restructuring of the MOCT in Zanzibar and institutional strengthening of TANROADS.
The main beneficiaries of the project include the transport industry, export/import operators, freight operators, the business community, and communities in the zones of influence of the two roads. TANROADS and the Ministry of Communications and Transport in Zanzibar will benefit from the institutional strengthening and restructuring components respectively.
