Tanzania Compact - Mainland Trunk and Zanzibar Rural Roads

MCC's $698.1 million Tanzania Compact (2008-2013) supported sustainable economic growth through the $405.4 million transportation sector project including the Mainland Trunk and Zanzibar Rural Roads Activities. These activities aimed to address poor transport infrastructure that constrains the development of agriculture, industry and commerce, and hinders access to essential social services. The activities invested in infrastructure to reduce transport costs, increase cash crop revenue and facilitate access to social services. At compact end, MCC financed the completion of 150 kilometers of roads, which includes the installation of drainage measures and accompanying signage, as well as designs and feasibility studies for the original target of 433 kilometers.
