MCC's $698.1 million Tanzania Compact (2008-2013) supported sustainable economic growth through the $405.4 million transportation sector project including the Mafia Island Airport Activity. This activity aimed to address limited access to Mafia Island due to the the poor condition of its airport and lack of feasible alternative transportation options by rehabilitating and upgrading the airport on Mafia Island. On Mafia Island, 1.6 kilometers of runway and taxiways were refurbished.
