| Project Detail |
The Strategic Cities Project for Tanzania development objectives will be to: (i) expand access (for firms and households) to urban infrastructure and services in selected urban Local Government Authorities (LGAs); and (ii) strengthen the management and fiscal performance of those urban LGAs. The Additional Financing (AF) will fund the cost of scaling up through: (i) new infrastructure investments in urban roads, bus stands, terminals and lorry stations, street lights, drainage and new cells in existing landfills; and (ii) strategic capacity building activities for project Local Government Authorities (LGAs). The AF will also enhance the development impact and sustainability of the investments financed by the original project by investing in equipment and operation, and maintenance capacity for existing infrastructure, and deepening local government capacity for urban management. Most activities proposed for scale up were appraised when the parent operation was prepared but sufficient resources were not available at the time to finance them. These activities have therefore, been re-appraised for technical and financial due diligence. |
