Tanzania seeks $260 million green financing for sixth phase of BRT

Dar es Salaam. The government has started negotiating with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to acquire $260 million for the implementation of phase six of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

The move aims at ensuring that phases four, five, and six are executed concurrently. This comes after it was announced last year that the government had secured Sh650 billion in financing from development partners for the implementation of the fourth and fifth phases, respectively. The minister of state in the President’s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG), Ms Angela Kairuki, made the revelation at the weekend during her visit to inspect the progress of BRT infrastructure here.
