Multinational - Rumonge-Gitaza (45 km) and Kabingo-Kasulu-Manyovu (260 km) Road Upgrading Project

The proposed Project concerns the upgrading of Kabingo – Kasulu - Manyovu Road Section (260 km) in Tanzania and Rumonge - Gitaza Road Section (45 km) in Burundi on the Central Corridor. This Corridor is also a priority under the Project for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). The Project addresses the missing segments of economically significant priority roads in the East African Community region. It is expected to facilitate mobility, boost regional trade and open up access to rural areas. More specifically, it will facilitate the movement of goods and persons along the Kabingo – Kasulu – Manyovu – Gitaza - Rumonge road thereby boosting trade between the two Countries and with the EAC region and increasing community access to basic services. The project will be implemented over a 5-year period. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 249.93 million.
