The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development said on 11 November that its team had reviewed progress on a road upgrade linking Uvinza, Ilunde and Malagarasi in Tanzania’s Kigoma Region. The fund provided 55 million UAE dirhams to support the project, which involves reconstructing and upgrading about 51 kilometres of road.
The fund’s announcement said the technical mission brought together Tanzania’s Ministry of Finance, the Tanzania National Roads Agency and regional officials. The fund said the project was intended to improve connections within the region for passengers and freight. Its statement gave neither a completion percentage nor a handover date.
The Uvinza–Ilunde–Malagarasi upgrade follows an earlier project on the Kidahwe–Uvinza road. The fund said it provided 150 million dirhams for that section in 2009 and that the road was inaugurated in 2015.
