The World Bank has concluded a long-running investigation into claims of human rights violations linked to a Bank-funded $150 million tourism promotion project in southern Tanzania.
The Regrow (Resilient Natural Resource Management for Tourism and Growth) project covering Tanzania’s southern tourism circuit is on schedule to wind up officially late February, but has been under probe for more than a year over the allegations which pointed to potential non-compliance by local authorities with the Bank’s rules on project management.
