DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA - About 1,500 kilometres of trunk roads have so far been paved by the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS).


This is according to the agency's performance assessment 2003/04-2007/08 report released last week in Dar es Salaam.

The agency has also rehabilitated a further 600 kilometres of trunk roads and 4,000km of regional roads. Maintenance allocations have increased from TShs1.3 million per kilometre to TShs4.3 million per kilometre per year. According to the report, the agency has substantially improved the condition of the main road network; from 30 percent in poor condition in 2003 to only 10 percent in 2008.

The agency also practically phased out force account works and helped to build up a local road contracting industry; from virtually zero local (private) road contractors to currently about 800 who manage the entire maintenance allocation.

It also successfully absorbed the massive increase of the fuel levy in the financial year 2007/08 and managed an increase of 100% of the budget.

The vision for the roads sector is embodied in Tanzania's Development Vision 2025 which accords high priority to investment in infrastructure.

In Sub-Saharan Africa road transport is the dominant mode of transport. that is essential for socioeconomic development.

..napenda kujua miradi iliyoanza tangu JK aingie madarakani ni ipi na imefikia wapi.

..ukarabati wa barabara zilizokwishajengwa ni muhimu vilevile.

..wakati wa Juliasi tulikuwa hatukarabati barabara matokeo yake tukaishia kuzijenga upya awamu ya Mzee Ruksa na Mkapa.

Mh. Jokakuu, miradi ya barabara inachukua muda mrefu toka planning mpaka implementation. Isitoshe miradi mingi ya barabara inafadhiliwa na wafadhiri pamoja na Benk ya Dunia. Feasibility study peke yake inachukua karibu mwaka mzima hivyo kutokana na ugumu huo unawe\za kuta miradi yote iliyotekelezeka ni ile iliyo kuwa conceived enzi za Mkapa. Kama kuna miradi ya JK basi kwa sasa iliyokamilika yaweza kuwa very insignificance labda kuanzia miaka ijayo. Hivyo kumpima kwa performance ya miradi yabarabara iliyokwisha kamilika sasa itakuwa sii sahihi.
