TZ eyes 25 projects along Lake Tanganyika

What you need to know:

The ‘twenty-five’ are among a total of 75 projects to be implemented along Lake Tanganyika by the riparian states of Burundi, DRC, Tanzania and Zambia.

Some of the Tanzania-targeted projects are modernization of the Kigoma port; construction of the Karema port in Katavi, region; the Katosho inland container terminal in Kigoma, and the Manyovu/Mugina one-stop border post (O-SBP) on the Tanzania Burundi common border. The World Bank Group (WBG) has said it will support the design and implementation of the ‘Lake Tanganyika Integrated Transport and Environmental Programs’ (LTITEP). The Group has also reaffirmed that its transport and environment teams will work in a coordinated manner to support the development of an integrated approach to activities in and around the lake. The CCTTFA executive secretary, Capt. Dieudonne Dukundane, says the high transport costs – as well as the dilapidated lake ports infrastructure and equipment –are the main challenges confronting the population of about 60 million within the Lake Tanganyika basin.
