Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>TANZANIA:<\/b> TANZANIA has secured a 200 million US dollars (about 517bn\/-) loan from the World Bank\u2019s International Development Association (IDA), for the second phase of the Tanzania Intermodal Rail and Development Plan (TIRP-2).<\/p>\n

The money will finance safety, climate resilience and operational efficiency improvements to the 970km Dar es Salaam \u2013 Isaka metre-gauge line.<\/p>\n

In particular, it will fund climate resilience measures for the Kilosa \u2013 Gulwe \u2013 Igandu section of the line, providing operational and institutional support, including emergency response procedures.<\/p>\n

IDA says that in addition to 900,000 direct beneficiaries, the project will indirectly have a positive impact on an estimated 3.5 million people, roughly 5 per cent of Tanzania\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

This includes passengers and freight shippers, residents along the line, businesses involved in trade, and communities in the Kinyasungwe catchment area.<\/p>\n

The new loan follows 270 million US dollars lent by IDA for TIRP\u2019s first phase which was completed in September 2022.<\/p>\n

Work included the rehabilitation of track and bridges, enabling axle loads to be increased from 13.9 to 18.5 tonnes on the 840km section between Dar es Salaam and Tabora, and the completion of designs to rehabilitate intermodal terminals at Dar es Salaam Port, Ilala and Isaka.<\/p>\n

TIRP-1 also included acquisition of additional rolling stock and contributed to the development of economic and safety regulations for open-access operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new project will invest in climate-informed infrastructure, adapting the corridor to natural disasters and mainstreaming climate resilience,\u201d says Mr Yonas Mchomvu, senior transport specialist at the World Bank.<\/p>\n

The investment in Tanzania\u2019s metre-gauge network complements the ongoing development of the country\u2019s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project, the first two phases of which are nearly complete between Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and Makutupora.<\/p>\n
