Closed

This Supplemental Credit to Tanzania in connection to the Lake Victoria Environment Management Project (LVEMP) is associated with Project execution which was beyond the borrower's control, given that the LVEMP is a regional project. In particular, significant delays have been experienced with project implementation in Uganda, and Kenya over the course o f the last two years. The additional finance is considered necessary because of unforeseen cost overruns, because due to the unanticipated delays in the Partner countries, Tanzania is now facing a cost overrun, and if the Government of Tanzania (GOT) is to continue implementation alongside Uganda and Kenya, additional resources will be required. This supplemental credit would finance LVEMP work between now and December 3 1,2005. Specifically, the agreed work program includes the following items: a) Fisheries Research; b) Fisheries Management; c) Water Hyacinth control; d) Water Quality and Ecosystem Management; e) Wetlands Management; f) Integrated Soil and Water Conservation; g) Catchment Afforestation; h) Support to Riparian Universities; i) Micro projects; j) Community Participation; and, k) National Regional Secretariat. The proposed Supplemental Credit would help ensure realization of the expected benefits of promoting sustainable use of the natural resources of the Lake, and its catchment. Procurement will include civil works, goods and equipments; and, consultancies and training.
