The project will be jointly financed by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania in the amount of US$ 97.11 million. The project aims to address the priority investment needs, in selected development corridors (DCs), by supporting the upgrading and rehabilitation of national roads and regional airports, which are playing a key role in the socio-economic activities of the areas.
The project will include the following main components: -
Component 1: Upgrading and Rehabilitation of Trunk and Regional Roads. This component will finance the upgrading and rehabilitation works of about 510 km of roads, selected by TANROADS as part of their ongoing road rehabilitation and upgrading process which is identifying key links that are critical for the good operation of the road network and that constitute bottlenecks due to climate vulnerability. These roads include;
(i). Rehabilitation of Mtwara – Mingoyo- Masasi Road (201 Km);
(ii). Rehabilitation of Lusahunga – Rusumo Road (92 km);
(iii). Rehabilitation of Rutukila – Songea section (95.188 km) and Songea Bypass (16 km); and
(iv). Upgrading of Iringa - Msembe Road (104 km).
The roads will be rehabilitated and upgraded to integrate climate resilience measures to enhance the resilience and adaptation of these roads and the road network. This component will also support: -
(i) Community-based ancillary social infrastructure along the project road corridors;
(ii) The associated construction supervision consultants;
(iii) Road user satisfaction survey consultants to carry out baseline, midterm, and end-stage user satisfaction surveys; and

Component 2: Upgrading and Rehabilitation of Regional Airports. This component will finance the rehabilitation and upgrading of three priority regional airports that are exposed and vulnerable to climate change impacts, out of the eleven airports identified for upgrading under the Transport Sector Support Project (TSSP). The interventions include addressing asset damage caused by climatic events and the further enhancement of climate resilience, energy efficiency, and safety of the airports. The capacity of the airports will also be enhanced to be able to address the demand projected for the medium to long terms, in climate resilient airports that offer international standards of safety. The three regional airports proposed are: -
(i). Rehabilitation and upgrading of Tanga Airport;
(ii). Rehabilitation and upgrading of Iringa Airport; and
(iii). Rehabilitation and upgrading of Lake Manyara Airport.
The objective is to meet the air traffic demands for the design life of 20 years to address the potential demand from tourism and commercial activities. This component will also support: -
(i). Air navigation facilities;
(ii). Meteorological facilities;
(iii). The associated construction supervision consultants; and
(iv). Land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation.
