Tanzania, United Republic of - 1 Country Profile
Generic Information
The United Republic of Tanzania (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania), is the largest country in East Africa within the African Great Lakes region. It borders Uganda to the north; Kenya to the northeast; the Indian Ocean to the east; Mozambique and Malawi to the south; Zambia to the southwest; and Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is in northeastern Tanzania. According to the 2022 national census, Tanzania has a population of nearly 67 million, making it the most populous country located entirely south of the equator.
Geography: Tanzania's geography is characterized by three distinct physiographic regions: the coastal plains along the Indian Ocean, an inland saucer-shaped plateau, and highlands in the northeast. The northeast region features stunning mountain ranges, including the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, and Mount Meru, an active volcano. This area also forms part of the Great Rift Valley, with vast salt lakes such as Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, and Lake Eyasi. The Crater Highlands, encompassing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Ngorongoro Crater, are key conservation areas for wildlife.
Population: In 2022 the Demographic and Health Survey recorded the population of Tanzania at 62 million, an increase of 37% from 2012 (60 million in Mainland and -1.9 million in Zanzibar approx.). The current population of Tanzania is estimated to be 67,728,532 as of July 2023 based on projections of the latest United Nations data.
Economy: Tanzania is a lower-middle-income country with a population of 67 million. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years. However, 27 percent of the population still live below the poverty line and an additional 8 percent live in extreme poverty.
A significant share of the population remains malnourished, with high stunting (impaired growth due to undernutrition) and increasing rates of overweight, obesity and vitamin and mineral deficiency. An estimated 20 percent of families are unable to afford a diet with sufficient calories, while 59 percent cannot afford a nutritious diet.
Tanzania's economy is diverse, with agriculture, mining, tourism, and services playing crucial roles. Agriculture employs a substantial portion of the population, and the country is known for its exports of cash crops like coffee, tea, and cotton. Tanzania is also rich in mineral resources, including gold, diamonds, and gemstones, which contribute significantly to its export revenue.
Tourism is a major economic driver, thanks to Tanzania's unparalleled natural beauty and wildlife. The country's national parks, such as the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, are renowned worldwide for their diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife, including the "Big Five" – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceroses
Tanzania's strong economic fundamentals helped the country weather the COVID-19 pandemic, but its economic recovery has been slower than expected due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, tightening global financial conditions, and the global economic slowdown.

Drought |
Yes |
Droughts affect several areas such as in Northern Manyara region, Kilosa District in Morogoro region and Dodoma region. The drought events which occurred in Bahi district in Dodoma in 2005/2006, Arusha and Manyara regions in 2008/2009. Drought is the major reason for both water and food shortage and severely affects agricultural development. Droughts also have a major effect to hydropower electricity production which may lead to huge economic loss during power rationing. Climate change and environment degradation pose high possibility of drought occurrences with major consequence and high risk as large populations depend on rain fed agriculture for their economic livelihood. |
|
Earthquakes |
Yes |
Earthquakes remain rare events in Tanzania however impacts such as landslides, soil movement, widespread disease outbreaks, tsunami waves, property damage, loss of lives, fire, economic loss and lack of food and clean water. Analysis of earthquakes for the areas that fall within the East African Rift System (EARS) in Tanzania which is well-known as prone to seismic activities has been categorized in high certainty of occurrence with minor to moderate consequences but with high risk. Earthquakes were reported in Northern Dodoma in July 2002 (magnitude 5.6), Lake Tanganyika in December 2005 (magnitude 6.8), Lake Natron in July, 2007 (magnitude 5.9), Mwanza region in May, 2017 (magnitude 5.0), Sumbawanga in March, 2019 (magnitude 5.5) and Kagera region in September, 2016 (magnitude 5.9). Another earthquake event which occurred in 2017 in Mwanza killed 1 and injured 2 people and damaged some buildings in 4 schools. Earthquake incident in Bariadi in May, 2002 killed 2 and injured 5 people, destroyed 690 and damaged 636 houses. |
|
Epidemics |
Yes |
The longest cholera outbreak which started from August, 2015 to December, 2018 caused 550 deaths and affected 33,319 people in 129 districts. The majority of these cases had been reported from 23 regions in mainland Tanzania including Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Morogoro. There were 43,078 confirmed cases and 846 deaths from of COVID-19 in Tanzania reported to WHO during the global pandemic. Epidemics such as Cholera, Acute and Chronic hepatitis and newly emerging and reemerging diseases like Dengue fever, Ebola, Avian Influenza, COVID-19 and Chikungunya pose a great risk to human life and the economy of Tanzania |
|
Extreme Temperatures |
Yes |
Extreme temperature remains rare. Over the past few years, Dar es Salaam and other regions in the country recorded hotter weather. Along the coast and in the off shore islands of Tanzania, the average temperature ranges between 27°C and 29°C, while in the central, northern and western parts temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C. Tanzania is the 45th most vulnerable country to climate change among 182 assessed in the ND-GAIN Country index and the 58th least prepared to leverage investments to adaptation actions among 192 assessed |
|
Flooding |
Yes |
Floods are among the most frequent and costly natural disasters in the country in terms of loss of life, infrastructure destruction, livelihood and economic disruptions. Most of flood events have been caused by heavy or steady rain for several hours or days that saturate the ground. Flash floods occur suddenly due to rapidly rising water along a stream or low-lying areas are common in urban centres and large cities like Dar es Salaam and Mwanza. The most flood prone regions in the country are Dar es Salaam, Pwani, Morogoro, Tanga, Mtwara, Arusha, Lindi and Iringa. Due to weather variability and climate change floods are likely to occur in many regions and considering rapid development their consequences can be major with high potential of losses in lives and economic gains. For example, in 2009/10 floods affected Kilosa district in Morogoro region whereby 2 people died and affected 26,000 people. The same flood event also affected 19,000 people in Kongwa and Mpwapwa districts in Dodoma region, destroyed infrastructure including roads, railway and bridges and contaminated water sources. Another flood event occurred in Dar es Salaam in December, 2011 which killed 41 people, displaced 5,000 and affected 50,000 people. |
|
Insect Infestation |
Yes |
Outbreaks are a major constrains to the development of agricultural sector in Tanzania which may result in devastating crop losses, it is estimated that they can cause pre and post-harvest crop losses between 30 – 40 percent and sometimes can cause up to 100 percent crop if not controlled in some areas. Common pests in different regions of the country include: locusts (Katavi, Rukwa, Kigoma, Tabora and Dodoma), armyworms (all regions), queleaquelea (Dodoma, Singida, Mbeya, Kilimanjaro) and banana wilt (Kagera and Mara). , American fall armyworm invasion in 2017 mainly affected cereal crops with maize and rice paddy severely impacted in Geita, Rukwa, Kagera, Pwani, Simiyu, Mwanza, Morogoro, Kilimanjaro, and Njombe regions. |
|

Transport Type |
Time Frame |
Comments / Details |
|
Primary Road Transport |
December to April |
Most of primary roads are affected by rain thus they are highly used during the dry season. |
|
Secondary Road Transport |
December to April |
They are highly affected during rainy season. Some are difficult to access, or even impassable. |
|
Rail Transport |
December to April |
Seasonal effects like floods or rain are encountered. However, due to the ongoing improvement on central railway line, the line is used throughout the year with occasional minor interruptions. |
|
Air Transport |
December to April |
Heavy rain during this period, affects the operation of air transport leading to delays in timetable implementations. |
|
Waterway Transport |
N/A |
|
Tanzania has two major rainfall periods: one is uni-modal (October–April) and the other is bi-modal (October–December and March–May). The former is experienced in southern, central, and western parts of the country, and the latter is found in the north from Lake Victoria extending east to the coast.
Seasonal effects have various impacts on transport and other social and economic activities, such as during the rainy season due to inadequacy of transport infrastructures, the cost of operations tends to increase. Following are some seasonal effects on:
Air transport – Short-term delays due to adverse weather conditions, heavy rains cause the suspension of flights especially to airports with ‘Non-Asphalt ‘runways.
Port operations – The operations relevant to ships and port warehouse activities are suspended during heavy rains.
Road - The improvement and upgrading of roads have a positive result in the main corridors being considered all weather, however there are still road links that become impassable during the rains.
Rail – The rail systems, TAZARA and TRC in principle should be ‘all-weather’, sectors of the rail links have been closed in the past due to flooding and wash ways.
In December, the road transport tends to be congested particularly from the main cities to other regions because a lot of people like Chaga people return to their areas of origin for ceremonies, thus demand for transport is increased.
During the harvest period, the demand for transport in various areas is increased since farmers need to move their harvests to the market or storage areas. Sometimes a lot of crops damaged in farm areas due to poor transportation services especially in rural areas.

Comments / Details |
|
Storage |
December - April |
Effective warehouse management during the rainy season is critical to prevent damage and spoilage of stored goods. To mitigate risks, maintain proper moisture control by monitoring and regulating humidity levels, facilitate airflow through ventilation systems, and increase aeration frequency. Given the heightened risk of insect infestations, implement robust pest control measures, inspect for potential entry points, and consider using insect-resistant packaging. Regular warehouse maintenance to address leaks and ensure proper drainage is essential, as is elevating goods off the floor to prevent moisture absorption. Detailed record-keeping, weather monitoring, and an emergency response plan should also be part of your rainy season warehouse management strategy to safeguard goods and reduce potential losses. |
|
Handling |
December - April |
During the rainy season, it's essential to take extra precautions when loading, securing, and covering commodities transported by rail and road. Open-air handling of food commodities should be avoided due to moisture risks, necessitating the use of covered loading and unloading bays to protect goods from potential damage or spoilage during transit. |
|
Other |
Continued improvements in Tanzania’s transport infrastructure has created greater demand for services and as a result higher volumes of sea freight traffic in Dar es Salaam port can result in longer waiting time for berths and higher demand for road transport which is exasperated by delays caused in loading/unloading during heavy rain. |
|
Tanzania's climate exhibits distinct rainy and dry seasons, each carrying implications for commodity handling and storage. During the rainy season, characterized by heavy rainfall and elevated humidity levels, there exists a notable risk to goods stored outdoors or within inadequately ventilated warehouses. Furthermore, the potential for flooding and landslides can disrupt transportation networks, hampering the movement of goods to and from storage facilities. To safeguard assets during this period, businesses should consider relocating inventory to more secure, weather-resistant storage spaces and investing in waterproof packaging solutions. Additionally, prudent pre-stocking measures become essential to ensure ample inventory availability when transportation becomes challenging.
Conversely, the dry season in Tanzania provides a more favourable operational environment for businesses involved in commodity handling and storage. Transportation is generally less susceptible to weather-related disruptions, fostering efficient movement of goods to and from warehouses and production sites. Moreover, the reduced congestion at ports and airports during this period facilitates smoother logistics operations. Nevertheless, it's crucial to acknowledge that the dry season coincides with heightened agricultural activities, leading to increased demand for specific commodities like packaging materials. To meet this demand and maintain a competitive edge, proactive pre-stocking strategies should be considered.
In light of Tanzania's seasonal climate variations, businesses operating in the realm of commodity handling and storage should adopt a strategic approach. This involves meticulous planning and adaptation to weather-related challenges, such as the protection of goods during the rainy season and the anticipation of heightened demand during the dry season. Effective supply chain management, risk assessment, and proactive inventory management are pivotal elements in ensuring business continuity and resilience amidst these seasonal fluctuations. By optimizing resource allocation and mitigating weather-related risks, businesses can navigate Tanzania's climate intricacies and maximize their operational efficiency.
Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
GOVERNMENT
The Prime Minister’s Office through Disaster Management Department is the pivotal point for coordination of all disaster risk management in Tanzania mainland. The DMD provides central coordination for emergency preparedness and response operations and promotes and implements prevention, mitigation and preparedness initiatives to minimize the adverse effects of disasters to the Tanzanian population, properties and environment. The Disaster Risk Management Framework is governed by the Disaster Management Act No. 6 of 2022, the Disaster Management Regulations of 2022 and National Disaster Management Policy of 2004. Other instruments used are National Operational Guidelines 2014, National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy 2022 – 2027, National Disaster Communication Strategy (TDCS) of 2022, National Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan of 2022 and Districts Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans. The Emergency Preparedness and response plan have clearly analyzed and mapped key stakeholders involved in disaster risk management, their roles and responsibilities during hazard mitigation and prevention, disaster preparedness, disaster response and recovery.
The DRM framework in the country consists of two parts – decision-making and technical execution. The decision-making side has the DRM Steering Committees (DRM-SCs) at the national, regional and district levels. Technical execution is through the DRM Technical Committees also at the national, regional and district levels. The technical part is responsible for analyzing and proposing technical measures to the decision-makers. To fulfil their mandates, the technical part may form various functional groups such as a special task force or technical working groups. Other components are the Ward DRM Committee and Village/Street DRM Committee that act at the local levels to realize strategies and technical measures.

Tanzania efforts on disaster risk management are in line with global and regional initiatives such as Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015 – 2030, Programme of Action for the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030 in Africa, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement under United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, The Agenda for Humanity on the Core Commitments from the World Humanitarian Summit of 2016, the New Urban Agenda and Agenda 2063.
The primary responsibilities for disaster risk management and humanitarian services lies to core sectors which has legal mandates within Government MDAs, RS and LGAs with shared responsibilities among each other and all stakeholders including UN Agencies, Private sector, International and Local NGOs, Academic and Research Institutions (ARI), CBOs, FBOs and the media.
The following is a summary of planned co-ordination arrangements and activities between Government, UN and International agencies, and NGOs:
- As the ultimate coordinator of all actors involved in an emergency response, the Government through the PMO-DMD is responsible for disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Emergency response is led by the PMO-DMD, assisted by the relevant line ministries. Regional Secretariats (RS) and LGAs are mandated to coordinate any emergency-related activities in their jurisdictions through Disaster Management Committees. Following the end of the rainy season, DMD in collaboration with RS and LGAs will conduct a post-disaster assessment with all stakeholders to determine the overall effectiveness of the plan, and preparedness, response and recovery activities executed. This feedback will serve as input to future contingency plan preparation.
- The UN Resident Coordinator (UNRC) is also the designated Humanitarian Coordinator. Under the guidance of the UNRC, the Emergency Coordination Group (ECG), made up of heads of UN Agencies and Non-Government Organisations is responsible for the effective and efficient implementation of inter-agency disaster management activities in Tanzania for players outside the government.
- UN Agencies, TRCS and network of NGO implementing partners will respond to an emergency in collaboration with and through the coordination of PMO-DMD in collaboration with leading Government sector.
- In accordance with UN Humanitarian Reform and the Cluster (here referred as Sectoral) directions of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), Sector Lead agencies will ensure a coordinated action among partners in their respective sectors. This responsibility requires coordination with Government, other agencies and NGOs to ensure that the needs of these sectors are addressed, information is shared, and reporting is carried out.
- Where a state of emergency requires extra-ordinary and urgent measures the National Steering Committee for Disaster Management will inform the President of the event necessitating the proclamation of a state of emergency that stipulates immediate measures which may be taken including deployment of military support to facilitate availability of human resources, funds and equipment for disaster management activities.
The following are the lead ministries coordinating different Sectors as well as the lead UN agency supporting those ministries. Early recovery and protection, as cross-cutting issues, are considered by all sectors through the coordination of DMD.

Such personnel should also use the PRO 6 forms for clearance of articles they import when goods are allowed to be imported free of customs duties as explained above; they are also exempt from other indirect taxes collected on importation, e.g., Value added tax and excise duty. The exemption from customs duty and excise duty also applies to goods which are purchased in tax free customs warehouse or other bonded warehouses (these goods are usually imported by importing agents or companies). In such case, VAT is refunded upon application. The PRO 6 form shall contain the following information: -
Country of purchase. If the goods are to be received by a person other than the head of the mission or consulate, the letter is to sign the application, as required by the customs, in acknowledgement of having seen it. After establishing the consignee’s entitlement to immunity from taxation and having regard with the principle of reciprocity, if applicable, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs stamps its seal of approval directly on the application form, after which it is returned to the applicant together with two copies of the list of goods. When a mission takes the goods from a provision depot for its official use, a provision declaration in these copies must be filled in. The copy for the customs office should indicate the date and number of the PRO 6 form issued by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The control copy, which has to bear the missions stamp and acknowledgement of receipt, is certified by the Ministry and forwarded by the depot manager to the customs office, together with a copy of the invoice addressed to the mission. If for any reason exempted goods are sold or imported a non - entitled person/s the customs and other duties chargeable on the goods upon importation must be paid as required by regulations in force at the time of the customs declaration irrespective of the time they have been used.

Import permits is required whether cargo is transit that is temporarily stored in a bonded warehouse or is for domestic use. Again, domestic cargo must be certified by Tanzania Bureau Standards (TBS), Tanzania Atomic Energy and Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TMDA) has to certify food staff. For cargo in transit that goes straight across the border after entering in the country, import permit is not required. Required documentation applies to both UN agencies and NGO's. (1) Note that GMO food is not permitted to be imported into Tanzania. (2) For donations, the certificate is required only if you have to claim the exemption of duties. (3) The certificate of origin helps only if the goods originate from the East Africa Community or SADC as it can be used to reduce the taxation rates. |
||||||
Transit Regime
The process is similar to the one applied for local cargo. However, some regulatory bodies such as TBS and Radiation might not apply. Transit cargo may present different challenges as the release of trucks changed recently. Previously, trucks were going to Dodoma for direct truck to wagons transfer. Now, for certain destinations trucks are going straight, such as the cargo destined to DRC.
In general, here is the procedure to be followed by the agent for transit cargo:
- Custom releases order, C65 and vehicle registration card must be submitted to customs wharf for generation of T1.
- Then, copy of T1, vehicle registration card, driving license of the truck driver as well as tax invoice of the cargo have to be submitted to Delivery section of the port authority for loading permit, thereafter the truck is allowed to enter into the port and load the cargo.
- After cargo loading, the agent submits a copy of T1, c65, passport and driving license of the driver as well as filled movement sheet to the sealing office. The Customs sealing officer puts remarks on the relevant documents, seals the trucks individually and then puts the paperwork in a sealed envelope which travels with the trucks through two check points within Dar es Salaam City limits.
Note that for goods in transit, a security bond is required by the clearing agent.

Transit Regime
Process is similar to the one applied for local cargo. However, some regulatory bodies such as TMDA do not apply. Transit cargo is for trucks that are going straight to the destination, such as the cargo destined for DRC. The trucks for transit cargo must be registered by TRA online system.
In general, here is the procedure to be followed by the agent for transit cargo:
- Custom releases order, C65 and vehicle registration card must be submitted to customs wharf for generation of T1.
- Then, copy of T1, vehicle registration card, driving license of the truck driver as well as tax invoice of the cargo have to be submitted to Delivery section of the port authority for loading permit, thereafter the truck is allowed to enter into the port and load the cargo.
- After cargo loading, the agent submits a copy of T1, C65, passport and driving license of the driver as well as filled movement sheet to the sealing office. Customs sealing officer puts remarks on the relevant documents, seals the trucks individually and then puts the paperwork in a sealed envelope, which travels with the trucks through two checkpoints within Dar es Salaam City limits.
Note that for goods in transit, a security bond is required by the clearing agent.
2 Tanzania Logistics Infrastructure
In the recent years, Tanzania, in partnership with the neighboring countries, has implemented One Stop Border Post (OSBP) concept, which aims to reduce transit costs incurred in cross-border movement by combining the activities of these countries’ border organizations and agencies at a single common location. The project implementation over the last years at different border crossings has boosted trade facilitation across borders by harmonizing border control regulations and procedures, enabling expeditious and more effective border control mechanisms.
Road transport is the most widely used form of transport in Tanzania carrying over 90% of the passengers and 75% of the freight traffic in the country. The road network in Tanzania currently comprises 86,472 km of roads of which, 12,786 km are trunk roads, 21,105 km are regional roads and the remaining 52,581 km are district, urban and feeder roads. The Central Corridor is a combination of transport routes (rail, road and lakes) that connect Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda from the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. In the context where exchanges with Zambia are increasing, the Government of Tanzania is investing in the improvement of the road network in the southern part of the country, i.e. roads linking Dar es Salaam port and Mtwara port to Zambia borders.
The airfield infrastructure in Tanzania is composed of three international airports located in Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Stone Town. A fourth international airport in Mbeya (Songwe) is developing. In addition, the country counts more than 50 medium or small airports which are mainly used by national flight companies for passengers’ transport and by private planes.
Concerning the railways network, the country counts two different gauges system operated by two different companies. In the southern part of the country, TAZARA is operating a network linking Dar es Salaam to South Africa. The rail network operated by Tanzania Railways limited (TRL) links Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, the western border, as well as Uganda and other countries located in the north of Tanzania. The gauge of TRL railways is 1,000 mm while TAZARA is operating a network composed by 1,067 mm track gauge.
2.1 Tanzania Port Assessment
The Republic Tanzania has three main sea ports namely, Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Mtwara ports. Other smaller sea ports include Kilwa, Lindi, Mafia, Pangani and Bagamoyo. There are also lake ports in Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa. On Lake Victoria, there is Mwanza North and South ports, which is the main port on the Tanzanian side, and Bukoba, Musoma, Kemondo Bay and Nansio ports. Lake Tanganyika counts to ports in Tanzanie, Kigoma and Kasanga. Finally, on Lake Nyasa there are Itungi, Mbamba Bay, Kiwira, Liuli and Manda ports that ensure the ship services. Zanzibar is served by Malindi port in Stone Town.
The ports are managed by Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA), governmental agency established on 15 April 2005. It regulates and licenses port and marine services and facilities. It manages vessel traffic in the port while ensuring safety and security. The authority also operates a system of ports serving the Tanzania hinterland and the landlocked countries of Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda. In Zanzibar, the Zanzibar Port Corporation (ZPC) takes the TPA’s roles and responsibilities.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 2.1.1 Port of Dar es Salaam
Port Overview
Dar es Salaam is the principal port of Tanzania. It is the main cargo gateway not only for the Tanzanian hinterland and the Great Lakes region but also for landlocked neighbouring countries in east and central Africa such as Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia
The port of Dar es Salaam is one of East Africa's leading freight gateways – a growing entry and exit of goods for local market and to many landlocked countries across East and Central Africa. The port is the Indian ocean entry point of a complex logistics network stretching much of central Africa. The port handles about 95 percent of Tanzania International trade across 12 deep-water berths. Tanzania Port Authority (TPA) operates all berths since January 2023. (TPA Handbook, 2023).
The port is accessible via 3-5km entrance channel that can allow vessels of up to 305 meters LOA and 265 meters breadth with a depth of 15.5 meters at Chart Datum. The port has a total quay length of 2.6 km with 12 Berths at Main Quay plus a Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) and a dedicated berthing area for coastal vessel at the lighterage Quay. Berths number 0 to11 has a depth between 10.2 and 15.5 meters for general cargo vessels. Berths No. 8 to 11 have an average depth of 11.0 meters and are mainly dedicated to container vessels. (TPA Handbook, 2016).
The port also has Grain Terminal facility (silos with storage capacity of 30,000 mt).
TPA is implementing a number of major projects including the Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway Project (DMGP) which will allow the reception of larger vessels. Port modernization projects include strengthening and deepening of berths 1-7 and RORO terminal, dredging of entrance channel, turning circle and harbour basin, strengthening and deepening 8-11, and construction of a new terminal jet

Port Performance
Tanzania is a natural economic hub and gateway to east and central Africa, with one of Africa's busiest deep seaports and borders on eight nations. The Dar es Salaam port provides a gateway for 90% of Tanzanian trade and is also the access route to six landlocked countries including Malawi, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda, as well as DRC.
A World Bank assessment published in 2013, the cost caused by inefficiencies at the Dar es Salaam port in 2012 was projected to be $ 1.8 billion for the Tanzanian economy and $ 830 million for neighbouring nations that relied on the facility.
The World Bank estimates that the losses amounted to 7% of Tanzania's yearly GDP. Due to rising port prices, Tanzanians and other East Africans had to pay more for imported commodities such as petroleum, cement, fertilizer, and medications.
Delays in accessing berths appear to be lessening, however container vessels were queuing for an average of 10 days (up to a maximum of 25 days in some situations) to get a berth in the port. Delays are worsened by dock operational inefficiencies and a shortage of storage, which increase the time required to unload and load a container ship, as well as insufficient synergy among key actors. The entire procedure takes days to complete, and space in the terminals is limited. As a result, the containers are frequently transported to an Inland Container Depot (ICD) near the port, where removal and storage fees apply to the cargo.

2.1.2 Tanzania Port of Mtwara
Port Overview
Mtwara port is one of the three major ports managed by Tanzania Ports Authority, located 578 kilometers south of the Commercial city of Dar es Salaam. The harbor at the Port of Mtwara was deepened in the year between 1948-1954. The railway line was built to connect the port, as part of the Tanganyika groundnut scheme. Due to the failure of the scheme the port immediately lost value and the railway line was removed. The port was functional but underutilized for many years due to poor transport infrastructure. In the years of 2010-2011 the increased activity in oil and gas exploration activity caused a surge on operations of this port.
The port is one of the key components of the Mtwara Development Corridor project, which aims to develop the commercial exchange between Tanzania and its southern neighboring countries: Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. The project includes an improvement of the road networks, port infrastructures and ease the border crossings process by implanting One Stop Border Post (OSBP) at the main entry points.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies
On May 18, 2023, the Zanzibar Ports Corporation (ZPC) and Africa Global Logistics (AGL) signed a five-year agreement for AGL to manage the container facility at the Port of Zanzibar. The agreement took effect on September 1, 2023. Zanzibar Multipurpose Terminal (ZMT), a subsidiary of AGL, officially began operations at the Malindi port on September 18, 2023. ZMT will provide cargo handling and maritime services at the islands main port. AGL has undertaken to implement an investment program for the modernization and development of the Port of Malindi. The company is planning to build an inland container depot (ICD) outside the port, The ICD will be located 3km north of the port at green field site located at Maruhubi (-6.142171497352352, 39.211110188527236) off the Malawi road, which is essential for relieving congestion at the port hub. ZMT is in the early stages of developing further modernization plans which include the future development dedicated container terminal at Nungwi in the north of the island.
For more information on port contacts, please see the following link: 4.4 Port and Waterways Companies Contact List.
Port Performance
The container terminal is heavily congested with no room for expansion within the port area. However, the change of management of the container facility is a significant event. Development of the inland container depot and removal of empty container will significantly alleviate congestion within the confines of the port. The agreement is expected to lead to improvements in the efficiency and productivity of the port, which will benefit all stakeholders, including shipping companies, cargo owners, and the people of Zanzibar with a reduction in ship dwelling times, improved cargo handling efficiency, increased container throughput, reduced costs for shipping companies and cargo owners and increased revenue for the ZPC.

(Tanzania Revenue Authority, 2017).
In Tanzania, roads maintenance for both paved and unpaved roads is done through five ways. The first way is called routine and recurrent maintenance and mainly consists of grass cutting, reshaping roads and cleaning of sewage system. The second way is called periodic maintenance. The third one is spot improvement and includes rutting and portholes. The fourth and fifth ways cover bridge preventive maintenance and repair and bridge major repair. (TANROADS, 2016)

Road Security
Road safety remains a significant concern in Tanzania, with an estimated 1,004 fatalities in 2022 reported by Land Transport Regulatory Authority (LATRA) in their annual reporting. The Tanzanian government has implemented various road safety initiatives, including stricter traffic laws, increased enforcement, and public awareness campaigns. Tanzania has been selected for the implementation of the Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure Pilot Project supported by the United Nations Road Safety Fund (UNRSF) and the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF). The cornerstone of the project is the Tanzanian Road Assessment Programme (TanRAP), launched in September 2022 to eliminate high-risk roads and curb the number of deaths on the country’s roads annually, headed by the Ministry of Transport (MoWT), which aims to build capacity and improve the safety of road infrastructure in the country in partnership with other leading stakeholders. Such as Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS), Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA), Tanzania Road Association (TARA), National Institute of Transport (NIT), Road Safety Ambassadors (RSA), Roads Fund Board (RFB), development banks, mobility clubs, road safety NGOs and industry.
Tanzania’s vision is to have a safe environment for the Road Traffic System, which is in accordance with internationally accepted standards. The policy seeks to guide and unite all stakeholders and put emphasis on cooperation and sharing of knowledge, experience, expertise, and resources. The National Road Safety Policy has been developed in accordance with the strategy for the reduction / prevention of accidents:
- Revised systems and institutional arrangements for road safety management in Tanzania.
- Revised national road infrastructure safety strategy and action plans.
- Revised national road design standards to ensure that they address road safety for all road users and meet the specific needs of vulnerable road users.
- Revised current national and local operational road safety policies, standards, guidelines, and financing arrangements.
- New national training, accreditation, and certification scheme (that supports new road safety targets and builds institutional capacity to sustain the National Safer Road Infrastructure Plan and National Road Assessment Program.
To ensure safety on the road, the government has implemented a maximum speed limit of 50 km per hours on all highways approaching main towns and villages. This affects the travel time as this speed limited is strictly enforced.

Overview
Kabanga One stop Border Post (OSBP) is a Tanzania-Burundi border crossing located in Ngara District of the Kagera Region near the borders of Rwanda and Burundi, on Burundi side it is called Kobero OSBP located in the region of Muyinga. Kabanga/Kobero OSBP operates on a 12-hour shift pattern due to security concerns in the isolated mountainous terrain. There are several Government agencies all available daily with the aim of expediting and facilitating the clearance of goods across border quickly and smoothly. Currently the following Government agencies are available: TRA, Immigration, TBS, TMDA, WMA, TASAC, Livestock & fisheries Dept, Port Health, Forest Dept, TAEC and Ministry of Agriculture. Average clearance time of goods across border after the introduction of OSBP & Single Customs Territory (SCT) facilities ranges from 30 minutes to 3 hrs depending on nature of the consignment.
The Ngara District is located in northwest Tanzania and is situated at an elevation of 1800m, Ngara has four seasons: two dry seasons from June to September and January to February with two rainy seasons from October to December and from March to May. During dry seasons there are sometimes strong winds/hazy air and temperature, The rain is sometimes associated with strong winds, floods, mud, and fog. Access routes have steep inclines and there are many accidents along the roads, evident by the number of heavy goods vehicles overturned on the steep verges of the roads. In places the road surface is paved but in poor condition and during the rainy season, heavy rainwater flows powerfully down the road surface reducing traction and causing added difficulty for heavy goods vehicles.

The level of traffic flow reported for 2022/23 FY was:
- Numbers of Trucks – 80-100Per Day
- Numbers of Cars – 20-30Per Day
- Passenger Buses – 2 Per Week
Kasumulu is not operating as an OSBP at present, the Malawi station is under construction and is expected to be complete in late 2024.This create a delay on the Malawi side for clearance however when the OSBP is operational this will alleviate this problem.
Customs Clearance
Malawi is not a member of the East African Community and therefore are not part of the single customs territory. Therefore, this traditional border crossing requires traffic to be checked by customs on both sides. However, the traffic flow of transit goods through Kasumulu is very quick and takes only one (1) hour on average for a truck to complete inspection and cross the Tanzanian side of the border.
The TRA has developed a number of online tools to help businesses comply with customs requirements. These tools include.
- Tanzania Integrated Customs Management System (TANCIS): TANCIS is a web-based system that allows businesses to lodge customs declarations and pay customs duties and taxes online.
- Tanzania Customs Information Portal (TCIP): The TCIP is a web-based portal that provides businesses with access to information on customs procedures, regulations, and tariffs.
Government agencies operating at the Tunduma OSBP include.
- Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA),
- Tanzania Immigration services,
- Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS),
- Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices Authority (TMDA),
- Weights and Measures Agency (WMA),
- Tanzania Shipping Agencies Corporation (TASAC),

Other Relevant Information
The fees for trucks crossing the border vary depending on the origin of the journey, destination, and the number of axles. For small vehicles, the fees are mainly based on the longer of the journey in Tanzania.
The usual documents are required for the custom clearance including invoice, packing list, permits, and a contract signed between the customer and the clearing agent, if any. The truck driver has to present his passport to the authority. Note that the goods could be subject to examination upon entering country. Clearance is completed at the destination country, thus truck driver has to present C2 accompanied by SuBT1. (Goods transfer) Form C2-Cargo Manifest
Fees for small vehicles $25 per month regardless of distance
Fees for Trucks are $10 per 100Km traveled.

2.3.7 Tanzania Border Crossing of Mbamba (Malawi)
The port of Mbamba is located on Lake Nyasa and constitutes a border crossing point with Malawi, through the port of Nkhata. Mbamba is the eastern point of the Mtwara corridor project, which aims to link Mtwara port to Mbamba port. The goal is to provide road, rail and waterway infrastructure to access southern Tanzania, Northern Mozambique, Eastern Malawi and Eastern Zambia.
There are different transport options on Lake Nyasa such as barges, tankers and small cargo vessels as well as passenger vessels. The port of Mbamba is underutilized at the moment and would require investment to improve its infrastructure.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 2.3.10 Border Crossing of Mutukula (Uganda)
Overview
Mutukula One stop Border Post (OSBP) is a Tanzania-Uganda border located in Missenyi District. On the Ugandan side, it is also known as Mutukula OSBP situated in Kyotera District. This is a 24/7 border operation with several Government agencies all available at once with the aim of expediting and facilitating clearance of goods across border, currently the following Government agencies are available: TRA, Immigration, TBS, TMDA, WMA, TASAC, Livestock & Fisheries Dept, Port Health, Forest Dept, TAEC and Ministry of Agriculture.
Average clearance time of goods across border after the introduction of OSBP & Single Customs Territory (SCT) facilities ranges from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on nature of the consignment.
Customs personnel at Mutukula OSBP reported a significant reduction in cross border traffic since the opening of a Gatuna OSBP between Rwanda and Uganda. Since Gatuna OSBP has become fully operational, many cars and trucks are passing through that route rather than transiting through Tanzania. They attributed the reduction to improved road infrastructure from Masaka to Mtukula and lower weight restriction per axle in Tanzania which results in a higher cost for transport operators.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 2.3.11 Border Crossing of Tunduma (Zambia)
Overview
Zambia is not part of the single customs Territory however, there is currently a One Stop Border Post (OSBP) being fully implemented at the Tunduma border. The procedures and processes have been harmonized to speed up the flows between Zambia and Tanzania. Tunduma OSBP is the busiest border crossing in Tanzania as it is the entry and exit point for most of Zambia’s international trade through Dar es Salaam port. The Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) rail line also passes through Tunduma.
The road from Mbeya is a single carriage way and is extremely congested with slow moving heavy goods vehicles, the high volume of heavy traffic takes a toll on the road surface, and this results in ongoing repair work along sections of the road adding to delays reaching the border.

Daily Capacity
Every day, between 400 to 500 cargo trucks cross the border at Tunduma. In addition, a considerable number of private vehicles and pedestrians are transiting via the border crossing. The cargo trucks currently cross based on agreed roaster such that: -,
From 09; 00 am to 21:00 pm: - Containerized cargo crosses, this is reportedly due to Zambian Revenue Authority customs cargo scanner only operating for 12 hours per day.
From 21; 01pm to 08:59am tankers and loose cargo crosses
The route to reach and cross the border is narrow and it causes important problem of congestion. Trucks take at least a day to process through customs.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 2.4 Railway Assessment
2.5 Tanzania Waterways Assessment
The country has three major ocean ports. Dar es Salaam is the Tanzania's main port, receiving around 95% of all Tanzania's export and import volumes. Tanzania is a regional gateway to supply its neighbouring landlocked countries, such as Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, the DRC and Burundi.
Tanzania has a total of 17 dry ports, reflecting the country's importance as a trade corridor. Its inland waterways are part of this strategic corridor. The country has three lakes which link Tanzania with its neighbouring countries: Lake Victoria (Northern border), Lake Tanganyika (South-Western border), and Lake Nyasa (Southern border).
Lake Victoria has an important role in sub-regional trade, with ferries carrying rail wagons and vehicles between Uganda and Tanzania. Lake Tanganyika allows commercial traffic between Kigoma (near DRC), Bujumbura (Burundi) and Zambia. (Tanzania Logistics Risks Report, 2016) Finally, the lake Nyasa has few transport operations from Tanzania.
There have been significant improvements at Mwanza Port in streamlining the Dar es Salaam and Uganda Corridor, hence facilitating the trade between Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan.. Transportation from Dar es Salaam to Uganda has shifted from truck to rail leading to time and cost savings due to opening of the Victoria Rail Ferry in July 2018. Via Mwanza Port, the cargo takes 4 to 5 days from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza.
For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Government Contact List.
For more information on waterway company contact details, please see the following link: 4.4 Port and Waterways Companies Contact List.
The table below presents the companies operating passenger vessels in Tanzania. Azam Marine operates the sea ferries linking Zanzibar to the continent while the three other ones are operating passenger vessel in the lakes. For the Lake Victoria, MSCL is the only company that operates vessels (passengers and cargo). On the Lake Taganyika, MSCL, Anorlac, SNCC and Falcony are the main operators. Finally, no Tanzanian company has currently vessels in operation on Lake Nyasa.

Lake Victoria
The Port of Mwanza is the largest and busiest of Tanzania’s lake ports. It has long been a major rail-and-ferry transit point for Cargo moving between Dar es Salaam and Port Bell in Uganda
Mwanza North Port consists of a passenger terminal with an annual handling capacity of about 150,000 passengers and 20,000 tonnes of mainly personal effects. The North Pier has no shoreside cargo handling facilities, so loading and unloading of cargo is by ship’s gear and stevedores
Mwanza South Port takes the form of a cargo terminal with an annual handling capacity of about 500,000 tonnes. It handles transit and locally sourced traffic moving to and from Uganda ((TPA Handbook 2019-2020)
In 2018, the government signed contracts for construction of a new and bigger ship and a slipway as well as renovation of vessels currently plying Lake Victoria in projects that were contributed to making Mwanza, a regional trade and transportation hub.
The projects included the construction of new passenger ship with capacity to accommodate 1,200 passengers and 400 tonnes of cargo. Rehabilitation of MV Victoria at the and MV Butiama, which stopped operations since 2014.
Marine Services Company Limited (MSCL) is the only company operating vessels on the Lake Victoria. Its fleet includes ferry, cargo, tanker and passenger vessels.

Lake Tanganyika
On Lake Tanganyika, the busiest port is Kigoma, which is linked by ferry to other lake ports in the Democtaric Republic of Congo, Burundi and Zambia. A program of upgrading and rehabilitation is underway at kigoma where the construction of the Kagunga jetty is now completed.
The port handles mainly bagged cargo, which is loaded manually using labour to carry the bags from quay to ship. There is covered storage for up to 45,000 tonnes of cargo in the port area and next to the quay and 75,000 tonnes of open storage including space for vehicles. (TPA Handbook 2019- 2020)
Different companies operate vessels on Tanganyika Lake. The main ones are Anorlac, SNCC and Falcony. The fleet is old and needs rehabilitation work to operate at optimal capacity. Both passengers and cargo vessels are operating on the lake.

Lake Nyasa
On Lake Nyasa, ferry services to Malawi have been operating from a temporary port at Kiwira, 5 km south of Itungi. There are plans to revitalise the existing quay and buildings at Itungi and to dredge the harbour. Also on Lake Nyasa, the Port of Kyela continues to handle cargo, but the ferry terminal is not in use due to silting of the harbour. Two barges have been constructed at Kyela.
Mbamba Bay is set to become the main Tanzanian port on Lake Nyasa. It features prominently in the Southern Corridor development plan to link the Tanzanian seaport of Mtwara with Malawi and other hinterland states. (TPA Handbook 2019-2020)

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Major humanitarian organizations store their items in warehouses by allowing sufficient space for easy access to the stacks for inspecting, loading and unloading. Usually, the preference is to run their own facilities rather than to contract out to a private service provider, due to the nature of their products such as food, medicines etc.

Storage facilities for health commodities in Tanzania are ranging from public to private in terms of ownership. There are numerous storage facilities for both the public and private sectors; however, the conditions, capacities, and availability vary considerably depending on the geographic area. The majority of the general storage facilities do not offer adequate storage conditions for medical supplies, especially for commodities with controlled-temperature and cold-chain requirements.
Both the public and private sectors use advanced warehouse management practices for central and regional warehouses dedicated to medical commodities. These facilities are concentrated mostly in urban areas.
About 20% of private sector storage facilities in urban areas are advanced warehouses with standardized containers, CCTV cameras, internal computerized systems, cold storage, and rooms with air-conditioning and ventilation. A lack of regulatory stewardship exists in the private sector and it is often not clear what can be stored under what conditions and for how long. Storage is expensive in the northern part of Tanzania in the Arusha region due to the limited availability of warehouses.
Commercial Storage
Some private suppliers have their own warehouses while others rent facilities. A non-exclusive list of warehouses is presented in the following table:

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Major humanitarian organizations store their items in warehouses in a way that allows sufficient space for easy access to the stacks for inspecting, loading and unloading. For donated health commodities, public sector storage is used. In case of need of extra storage space in emergencies or in remote locations, WFP offers required storage tents to other humanitarian organizations.
Most organizations prefer to run their own facilities rather than to contract out to a private service provider, due to the nature of their products such as food, medicines etc.

Public Sector Storage
In most cases, health commodities handed over to the government of Tanzania are taken into custody by the Medical Stores Department (MSD) for storage and distribution. MSD has 10 warehouses across the country in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Iringa, Moshi, Mbeya, Tabora, Dodoma, Mtwara, Tanga and Muleba. The modern Warehouse—in—a Box (WiB) infrastructures with up-to-date working tools are available in six locations of Dar es salaam, Mwanza, Dodoma, Tabora, Mbeya and Tanga. The WiB are constructed using international standards and incorporate necessary supply chain storage infrastructure such as racks, cold chain, packaging unit using barcode system and office space.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 2.7 Milling Assessment
Corn (Maize) is the most widely grown and consumed food crop in Tanzania. It is famously used to make stiff porridge (ugali) which is a local cuisine in Tanzania and most African countries. In Tanzania, the maize flour processing industry is characterized by a relatively small number of large-scale companies, accounting for approximately 5% of the market share. In contrast, most maize flour consumed in both urban and rural areas is produced by small and medium-scale millers, constituting around 95% of the market. The cereal and tuber milling sector plays a vital role in ensuring food and nutrition security for the country, with over 85% of the population relying on maize flour (ugali) to meet a substantial portion of their daily calorie needs.
In 2022 a comprehensive national milling census of cereal and tuber mills across the country was conducted which identified 33,721 mills across 31 regions in Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. The census also established the different food processing machines used and results indicated the that only about 2% of maize flour millers surveyed fortified maize flour with vitamins and minerals. As a result of the census an online interactive digital web map was developed providing access to stakeholders on milling capacity in all 31 regions of Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar
Due to inclement weather, pest and high input prices, Maize production in Tanzania was forecast to decrease by 4.7 percent to 6 million metric tons (MT) in 2021/2022 season. In early 2021, swarms of locust invaded Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions and caused great devastation to the crop. Wheat production was also adversely affected in the same period due to below-average rainfall, and desert locust invasions in Northern Tanzania.

3 Tanzania Logistics Services
The urban areas, such as Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and Arusha, have a well-developed availability of services and supply. The available products and services are relatively diversified and different level of quality can be found in the market. For their part, rural areas have limited access to a variety of goods and services, even if an improvement is noticed due to the transport network development. Indeed, the recent investments in the transport network infrastructure allow a better connectivity between the markets and the remote areas.
Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
The Zanzibar Utilities Regulatory Authority (ZURA) is responsible under the Energy and Water Utilities Act No. 7 of 2013 to oversee and regulate the Energy and Water sectors, ZURA has the duty to regulate these sectors both technically and economically. The sub-sectors regulated by the Authority include Oil, Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Electricity, and Water. The Authority is responsible for ensuring that the services provided are available at adequate standards, at fair prices, safely and reliably, and that service providers receive fair returns on their investments
In October 2021, the Authority on behalf of the Government implemented changes in the country's fuel importation system, transitioning from multiple importers to the establishment of a Bulk Procurement System (BPS). Currently, oil is imported into the country through the awarded company GBP TANZANIA LIMITED in Tanzania. The imported products include gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and kerosene. The annual volume of oil imported into Zanzibar is approximately 180,000 metric tons with a variance of +/- 20%.
Currently Oil imported into Zanzibar is collected from the ports of Tanga and/or Dar es Salaam by GBP TANZANIA LIMITED. They then distribute the oil to Zanzibar's oil companies, which include GAPCO, PUMA, and Zanzibar Petroleum (ZP) located at Mtoni port Unguja, United Petroleum (UP) located at Mangapwani Port Unguja. These companies receive their oil from the supplier after submitting their required quantity orders for the respective timeframes.
The oil storage facility in Mtoni has a capacity to store up to 16,487,039 liters and 21,000,000 at Mangapwani depot liters of oil for all products, On the other hand, in Pemba, the Wesha depot in Pemba has a total capacity of 2,013,000 liters. However, the average actual consumption of oil required is 15,000,000 liters per month. These requirements can increase to 17,000,000 liters per month during periods of higher demand.
For more information on government and fuel provider contact details, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List and 4.7 Fuel Providers Contact List.
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
ZURA has developed Petroleum Products Price Setting Rules which provide a pricing formula for computing the petroleum products' prices. The formula is composed by:
FOB price – It is computed based on the weighted average FOB price of vessels that discharged fuel in a given month. The weighted average FOB price of each product is computed separately. The price of the products for each cargo is based on the monthly average price of the products as published by Platts. Premiums are determined based on the results of supply tenders floated every month. Local charges are fixed in the formula based on various legal provisions that impose a charge in importation or in doing business in the petroleum sub-sector. They also include some variable business costs that have been identified and approved by EWURA as prudent costs. Margins to wholesalers and retailers to cover operations cost and a return on investment.

Fuel Transportation
Fuel is transported within the country using fuel trucks. Transportation is arranged between the owner of the trucks and a petrol station requiring the fuel or the Oil Marketing Company (OMC). For large customers who buy fuel directly from the OMC, the OMC arranges to deliver the products to the client accordingly to the agreement between the two parties.
Standards, Quality and Testing
At 15 degrees centigrade, the petrol must have a density between 720-780 Kg/m3, a minimal motor octane number of 83, and maximum sulphur content of 0.015%.
At 15 degrees centigrade, diesel must have a density between 820-870 Kg/m3, a minimum cetane index of 48, and a maximum sulphur content of 0.05%.
At 15 degrees centigrade, kerosene must have a density between 776-840 Kg/m3 and a maximum of sulphur content of 0.15%.
The quality of fuel is checked by Zanzibar Bureau of standards (ZBS) on arrival of a fuel vessel at the port. In addition, ZURA carries out regular checks of fuel quality at the depots and petrol stations.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.2 Transporters
Overview
The Tanzanian Road transport market is a critical component of the country's economy, accounting for over 8% of GDP. The sector is dominated by trucking, which accounts for over 75% of all freight traffic. The passenger transport sector is also important, with over 90% of all passenger journeys made by road. The demand for freight transport is increasing in Tanzania, driven by economic growth and trade liberalization across the East African Community (EAC). This is creating opportunities for trucking companies and logistics providers. The Tanzanian government is investing heavily in road infrastructure, with a focus on upgrading existing roads and constructing new ones. This is improving road connectivity and reducing transportation costs. The road transport sector in Tanzania is slowly adopting technology, such as GPS tracking and fleet management systems. This is improving efficiency and safety. Transportation costs in Tanzania are relatively high, due to factors such as fuel prices and road taxes. This can make it difficult for businesses to compete. The informal sector is prevalent in the Tanzanian road transport market, with many unlicensed operators competing with formal companies. This can lead to unfair competition and safety concerns.
In addition, Tanzania plays a pivotal role in connecting neighbouring landlocked countries with international markets, namely Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Zambia, Malawi and South Sudani. Transport routes from the Port of Dar es Salaam to these landlocked countries are vital for both import and export of goods. Tanzania is bordered by the Indian Ocean and the three largest African Great Lakes, namely Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Nyasa (Malawi). Due to Tanzania being so close to the equator and surrounded by such large bodies of water, the country is seasonally subjected to large masses of warm, humid tropical air, which can induce heavy rains and thunder storms. Floods are frequent and affect most regions of the country these are the main cause of transportation disruptions.

Telecommunications Regulations
Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA)
Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) is a statutory regulatory body responsible for regulating the electronic and postal communication sector in Tanzania. It was established under the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority Act, No.12 of 2003, which merged the Tanzania Communications Commission (TCC) and the Tanzania Broadcasting Commission (TBC).
Tanzania Communications Commission (TCC) was established in 1993 with the mandate of regulating the telecommunications and postal services. Tanzania Broadcasting Commission (TBC) was established in 1993 with the mandate of regulating the broadcasting sector.
Due to technological advancement, there was a need to streamline government services to enhance public service delivery, minimising bureaucracy and increase efficiency, the two regulatory bodies (TCC and TBC) were merged in 2003 to form Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA).
The Authority became operational on 1st November 2003 and effectively took over the functions of the merged two Commissions. This is mandated by section 4 (1) to (7) of the TCRA Act, 2003.
the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) is an independent regulatory authority for the postal, broadcasting, and electronic communications industries in the United Republic of Tanzania. It was established under the TCRA Act No. 12 of 2003 by merging the Tanzania Communications Commission (TCC) and the Tanzania Broadcasting Commission (TBC).
The TCRA is responsible for promoting competition and protecting consumers in the communications sector. It also plays a key role in the development of the communications sector in Tanzania.
The TCRA's core functions include:
Licensing and regulating communications service providers.
Promoting competition and protecting consumers in the communications sector
Developing and implementing policies and regulations for the communications sector
Monitoring and enforcing compliance with communications laws and regulations
Resolving disputes between communications service providers and consumers

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
The internet penetration rate in Tanzania is increasing, with 50% of the population currently having access to either mobile or fixed broadband internet. The reliability of internet services varies with urban centres like Dar es Salaam and Arusha having access to relatively stable connections, but speeds and reliability can vary greatly depending on the provider and infrastructure availability. The reliability of the national power grid is also an issue in maintaining connection.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
In urban areas of Tanzania, mobile users can access 3G services or higher, however, 5G is not yet commercially available in the country at present. Whereas approximately one-fifth of the nation's population, mainly residing in rural communities remain with access limited to 2G network coverage.
Mobile money in Tanzania has expanded from traditional payments like airtime recharge and domestic remittances to more sophisticated financial services. The National Payment Systems (NPS) Act 2015 of Tanzania is a crucial piece of legislation that establishes a comprehensive framework for regulating and overseeing payment systems in the country including the use of mobile money. The Act empowers the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) as the primary regulator of payment systems, granting it authority to license and supervise payment system operators, establish clearing and settlement mechanisms, and implement risk mitigation measures. It also outlines the requirements for electronic money issuance and operation, ensuring consumer protection and promoting innovation in digital payments. The National Payment Systems (Electronic Money Transactions Levy) (Amendment) Regulations, 2022 outlines chargeable rate for electronic money in Tanzania.

3.5 Tanzania Food and Additional Suppliers
At both regional and local scales, there are different vendors for food products, including maize grain, pulses (pigeon peas and beans), iodized salt and sorghum. Indeed, the agriculture in Eastern Africa is the principal economic sector. It is estimated that almost 70% of the regional population is relying on agriculture, and this sector absorbs a large proportion of the working population in the market (UN, NEPAD, 2013). However, the region is also subject to environmental effects which often affect the production, and the local market may be unable to meet the demand.
For non-food suppliers, the Tanzanian market is well-established, although it is mainly concentrated in the main cities. A large number of suppliers are offering a range of products and different quality levels.
Generic country information can be located from sources which are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures. For a general overview of the country data related to the service and supply sectors, please consult the following sources:

Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.5.1 Food Suppliers
Overview
The Tanzanian retail and wholesale food market is a large and growing sector, with an estimated value of US$15 billion in 2022. The market is dominated by informal retailers, such as street vendors and small shops, which account for an estimated 90% of all food sales. However, there is a growing trend towards formalization, with the emergence of supermarkets and hypermarkets in major cities. The formal retail sector is growing rapidly in Tanzania, driven by increasing urbanization and incomes. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among middle-class consumers. Demand for processed foods is rising in Tanzania, as consumers become more time-conscious and convenience-oriented. This is creating opportunities for manufacturers and retailers of processed food products. E-commerce is still in its early stages of development in Tanzania, but it is growing rapidly. This is creating new opportunities for retailers to reach consumers, particularly in urban areas.
The lack of adequate infrastructure in some areas, such as roads and cold storage facilities, is a major challenge for the retail and wholesale food market in Tanzania. This can lead to high transportation costs and food spoilage. Supply chain disruptions, such as droughts and floods, can have a significant impact on food prices and availability in Tanzania.
The retail and wholesale food market in Tanzania is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by urbanization, population growth, and rising incomes. However, challenges such as infrastructure constraints and supply chain disruptions will need to be addressed in order to ensure that the market can continue to grow and meet the needs of the Tanzanian population.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.7 Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
Waste collection in Tanzania is primarily carried out by local government authorities, private companies, and communities. There is a mix of formal and informal waste collection methods, with the involvement of both public and private entities. Additionally, community-based waste management initiatives are encouraged to promote sustainable waste collection at the grassroots level.
The Environmental Management Act EMA 2004 provides for a legal and institutional framework for sustainable management of the environment, prevention and control pollution, waste management, environmental quality standards, public participation, environmental compliance and enforcement. Under the EMA 2004 the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) is mandated to undertake enforcement, compliance, review and monitoring of environmental impacts assessments, research, facilitate public participation in environmental decision-making, raise environmental awareness through the collection and disseminate environmental information. Further details can be found on NEMC website: NEMC
Waste management services in Tanzania are provided by a combination of government agencies and private companies. Local government authorities often play a significant role in waste collection, while private companies are involved in areas such as waste transportation, disposal, and recycling. Community-based organizations also contribute to waste collection in many areas sorting waste into categories for disposal and recycling, selling the recyclable plastic, metal, and electronic waste to commercial recycling plants. In Zanzibar the CBO removes approximately 2.5 tons of plastic waste from the waste stream per day and sells this to commercial recycling companies on the mainland, significantly reducing the annual volume to landfill and providing an income stream for the community.
Tanzania local authorities are responsible for designating disposal sites for waste. Landfills are managed by local government authorities and private companies. The status of these landfills may vary across regions, some landfill sites currently in operation may not be approved by the local authority and therefore may not comply with either the Environmental Management Act, 2004, or the National Environmental Policy, 1997.
There are recycling initiatives in place across the country operated by a mix of public and private entities many of which are supported by community-based organisations (CBO) who organise the collection and sorting of waste and sell the recyclable plastics, metal, and electronic waste to private recycling companies. The scale of recycling varies from region to region, some are large commercial operations producing high volumes of plastic items from recycled materials and some are small independent operations producing plastic pellets for sale to plastic manufacturing industry.

Hazardous Waste Disposal
The disposal of hazardous waste is regulated by Environmental Management Act EMA 2004 and audited by NEMC. Transportation of hazardous waste within Tanzania requires a permit granted by the Minister’s office and for export of hazardous waste a license is required accompanied by a permit issued by a competent authority of the receiving country. NEMC is also the authority for licensed disposal facilities for hazardous wastes, EMA 2004 places responsibility on the generator of hazardous waste for its disposal and shall be liable for any damage to human health or environment damage.
Growth of an information society is becoming a common phenomenon in many developing countries, including Tanzania. This has resulted in an increase of users of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). The 2020 Electronic Communications Equipment Standards and E-Waste Management regulations, outlines the obligation of parties involved in managing electronic communication equipment end of life processes. Tanzania has 17 of the region’s 39 EEE recycling plants in the East Africa. Tanzania is a party to the Basel Convention on the Control of Trans-boundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal and Bamako Convention on the Ban of the Import into Africa and the Control of Trans-boundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes within Africa. The Minister of State – Environment at the Vice President’s Office has issued Guidelines For Management Of hazardous Waste to serve as a quick reference on hazardous waste management so as to improve their management in the country, these guidelines elaborate the legal requirements and administrative procedures for handling of importation, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste as provided in the Environmental Management (Hazardous Waste Control and Management) Regulations, 2009. To facilitate awareness and understanding of key stakeholders in effectively fulfilling their roles in achieving environmentally sound management of hazardous waste. Licencing for disposal or treatment of hazardous wastes are issued by the Director of Environment – Vice President’s Office or respective authority at regional level. The licence restricts hazardous waste treatment plant or disposal sites to at least one thousand (1,000) metres away from a residential or commercial area and from water sources.
Health Care Waste Management (HCWM) is regulated for in National Policy Guidelines For Health Care Waste Management In Tanzania 2017 the Ministry of Health is responsible for promoting a centralized biomedical waste treatment facilities and ensure an effective management of current health care waste disposal sites. Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices Authority (TMDA) have a project in process to developing a large capacity incinerator in Dodoma for the destruction of medical waste and expired medications, the project was delayed due to issues with the planned site proximity to a water source. TDMA have indicated they have identified a new site and expect construction to begin in 2024.
The disposal of waste oil in Tanzania is regulated by the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) under the Environmental Management (Hazardous Waste Control and Management) Regulations, 2009. These regulations prohibit the disposal of waste oil into water bodies, soil, or landfills. Instead, waste oil must be collected, transported, and treated by authorized hazardous waste management facilities. Some of the recycling companies visited during the LCA used waste motor oil as fuel for their furnaces to smelt glass, plastic, and biological waste for recycling.

Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
More than 90 per cent of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Tanzania is believed to be disposed of in an unsatisfactory manner. Most of the MSW generated is disposed of in open and poorly operated dumpsites across the country, except for a few municipalities—including Arusha, Tanga, Mwanza, Mbeya, Dodoma, Kigoma and Mtwara—that have improved landfills (with lining and leachate collection system) constructed by the Tanzania Strategic Cities Project (TSCP). The management of biodegradable waste is challenging due to its perishable nature, its limited storage period, and its harmful impact when leeching out of landfills. However, it is also an area where significant improvements are possible by adoption of decentralized technologies such as composting and biomethanization. Some Municipal waste management sites have ongoing projects to generate biomass fuel for cleaner energy from a combination of blackwater and sawdust to make briquettes/charcoal for smokeless cooking.

Photos above show the Municiple landfill site in Arusha making charcoal for smokeless cooking from black water and sawdust for commercial sale.
The Assessment of Solid Waste Management Ecosystem in Tanzania report estimates “Urban areas in Tanzania are projected by 2030 to generate about 26 million tonnes of solid waste annually. To accommodate this amount of waste, about 10.6 × 107 cubic metres (m3) of landfill space is required; in terms of area approximately 200 hectares (about 494 acres) of land per year would be needed”.
In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's most populous city, the majority of households depend on community-based organizations (CBOs) for their solid waste collection. The collection frequency varies from one to three times a week, with residents obligated to pay refuse collection charges (RCC) to these CBOs for the services provided. However, around 10% of households opt for informal workers who collect waste more frequently at a lower cost compared to CBOs. Informal waste pickers gather the organic waste and low-value dry waste (such as plastic and paper) from households, discarding the non-saleable portion in drains or common areas after extracting items with market value. Consequently, only 40% of the waste reaches the landfill, while 60% is either burned at the household level, dumped on roadsides, drainage canals, sewers, or buried. The informal sector is responsible for collecting valuable dry waste, mainly plastic and metal and removing it from the waste stream for sale to recycling companies. Public awareness regarding sanitation and proper municipal solid waste (MSW) storage and disposal is lacking. Informal settlements and peri-urban areas, not under city or municipal council jurisdiction, commonly exhibit poor waste management practices.
The NEMC has also developed guidelines for the management of non-hazardous waste, which provide more detailed information on the processes, regulations, and procedures that should be followed. These guidelines cover topics such as waste characterization, waste minimization, waste treatment, and waste disposal.
In addition to the EMA and the NEMC guidelines, there are several other regulations and procedures that govern non-hazardous waste disposal in Tanzania. These include:
- The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS Act ) of 2003, which sets standards for the protection of workers from workplace hazards, including exposure to non-hazardous waste.
- The Public Health Act (PHA)) of 1971, which regulates the disposal of waste in public places.
- The Local Government Act (LGA ) of 1992, which gives local governments the responsibility for managing waste within their jurisdictions.
