1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi maintain fruitful ties, especially in transport. Being landlocked countries, Rwanda and Burundi use the Central Transport Corridor to access the sea through the Dar es Salaam Port in Tanzania. The Central Transport Corridor (about 1 400 km long from Rwanda and about 1 500 km from Burundi) offers the possibility of reaching the Dar es Salaam Port by road through a road-rail or lake-rail multimodal combination. Rwanda and Burundi also use the North Transport Corridor (about 1 800 km long from Rwanda and about 2 100 km from Burundi) which links them to the Mombasa Port in Kenya via Uganda.

1.2 In 2008, Tanzania had a population of nearly 41.5 million, about 19.9% of which live below the poverty line. Poverty affects almost 56.8% of Rwanda’s population and approximately 70% of Burundi’s estimated in 2008 at 8.9 million and 10 million, respectively. To combat poverty, each of the three countries has adopted a poverty reduction strategy paper focused on the implementation of balanced macro-economic policies and sectoral reforms, in consultation with the donor community and civil society. The set objectives include ensuring the security of the population, strengthening economic growth by boosting socio-economic activities and improving access both within the countries and to the outside world by developing transport infrastructure.

1.3 To achieve such internal and external access, the three countries have developed transport sector policies aimed at improving the efficiency of the transport system by diversifying modes of transport. To implement these policies, they have prepared programmes to improve transport infrastructure, particularly railway infrastructure, in order to provide transport services to industrial and agricultural production areas as well as areas with high mining potential. The authorities of all three countries therefore expressed in 1998 and reaffirmed in 2003 the need for a new Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati railway line, which is an extension of the current Dar es Salaam-Isaka line. The study of the project to rehabilitate the current Dar es Salaam-Isaka railway line and build a new line between Isaka in Tanzania, Kigali in Rwanda and Musongati in Burundi is among the priorities of these programmes.

1.4 It is worth noting that the rehabilitation of the current railway line and construction of the new one are also in accordance with the priority objectives of regional organizations such as the East African Community (EAC), Economic Community of Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL) and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) which prioritize the development of inter-state transportation infrastructure, notably railways. At the regional level, EAC countries have recognized the need to streamline the development of railway transport and harmonize transport operations along the main transport corridors. To that end, a Railway Master Plan for EAC countries is on the verge of adoption. The plan defines the railway sector development strategy that can meet the demand for infrastructure and services needed to stimulate trade and growth, and promote regional integration.

1.5 The three countries planned to seek financing to implement the railway project study, based on such common desire to strengthen their socio-economic cooperation and regional integration. This involves exploring the possibility of financing the rehabilitation of the existing Dar es Salaam - Isaka railway line and building the new Isaka–Kigali/Keza- Musongati railway line, on the one hand, and managing the railway infrastructure, on the other hand. The infrastructure is expected to link Rwanda and Burundi to Dar es Salaam Port and provide transport services to the Eastern Region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda’s South-West Region.

1.6 As part of implementing the regional integration policy and in a bid to support economic development, in particular mining, industrial and agricultural development, Phase I of the Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati railway project study was financed with an ADF grant, an IPPF-NEPAD grant and a Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) grant. In particular, Phase I study analyzed the different rail alignments with the associated physical and technical constraints, project environmental and social impact, the economic and financial feasibility and the existing institutional framework. The Phase I study results were presented to the round table of development partners and the private sector held in Tunis in March 2009. Participants in that international forum, notably mining companies, railway operators, investment and development banks, showed interest in the project and encouraged the three countries to pursue the study. Following the conclusions of the round table, and to ensure the implementation of the investment programme and capitalize on the interest shown in the project, the three countries requested the Bank to finance Phase II of the study.

1.7 The project objectives are in keeping with NEPAD’s in the transport sector. They are also in line with: (i) the Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi and (ii) ADF-XI operational priorities which place a high premium on infrastructure, governance and regional integration.

1.8 This loan and grant proposal is a follow-up to a joint request by the three countries to the Bank to finance Phase II of the project study. This Phase provides for: (i) an engineering, economic, financial, institutional, environmental and social study; and (ii) recommendation of models for financing the project and managing railway infrastructure. It is based on the results of the preparation mission (see the Terms of Reference attached) conducted in June-July 2009 and on data collected in the three countries.

2. PROPOSED STUDY

2.1 Study Design and Formulation

2.1.1 Phase II of the project study will cover the existing Dar es Salaam-Isaka railway link and its Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati extension. Phase II is part of the implementation by the three countries of the EAC priority investment programme which attaches special importance to multinational poverty reduction projects, through regional infrastructure development, and to cooperation among member countries. The preparation of the Terms of Reference (TORs) under Phase II of the study drew lessons from Phase I (findings of the study and conclusions of the round table) in terms of design, cost and approach. In that regard, Phase II will focus more on deepening the institutional framework and structuring the project in the form of Public Private Partnership (PPP). The preparation of the TORs also made use of data collected during the preparation mission and discussions in the three countries, notably with representatives of the three governments, rail transport specialists in Tanzania, rail transport users (traders, industrialists, etc.) and private sector operators, including mining companies active in the three countries.

2.1.2 Phase II of the study will also deepen: (i) the analysis of the project’s socio- economic benefits, notably for the most vulnerable population segments (women, children, rural dwellers, etc.), in terms of business development and enhancement of economic potential (particularly in mining, industry and agriculture) as well as facilitating the low-cost marketing of goods and movement of people; (ii) the comparative analysis of modes of transport (road, rail and rail-road and lake-rail combination) on the corridors to Rwanda and Burundi; (iii) the environmental and social impact of the future railway project (impact of

climate change on the project, spread of sexually-transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS and the impact of rail transport on public security) and appropriate measures for mitigating the negative impacts during and after project implementation; and (iv) private sector participation in financing the project and managing railway infrastructure.

2.1.3 Phase II of the study will provide the Governments of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi with data and decision-making tools to facilitate the mobilization of financing, project implementation and railway infrastructure management. It will cover: (A) the existing Dar es Salaam-Isaka railway line (970 km); and (B) a new railway line broken down as follows: (i) 494 km-long Isaka-Kigali Section (of which 355 km in Tanzania and 139 km in Rwanda); and (ii) 197 km-long Keza-Musongati Section (including 139 km in Burundi and 58 km in Tanzania). It is worth noting that four mining sites will be connected to the Keza- Musongati Section by 50 km-long branch lines. The Project Impact Area (PIA) covers Rwanda, Burundi and the North-West of Tanzania (Shinyanga and Kagera Regions). Its population is estimated at about 22.7 million, 53% of which live below the poverty line. Its economy is driven by agriculture which employs about 90% of the population. The PIA is also rich in mineral ore. The subsequent implementation of the project will help to develop such mineral resources (the tapping of which is hampered by the bad state and/or absence of appropriate transport infrastructure) and contribute to boosting agricultural activities.

2.1.4 In designing the Dar es Salaam-Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati railway line, the proposed study will take into consideration internationally recognized engineering standards. In particular, it will conduct a cost-benefit analysis of engineering standards for the following three types of track gauge: (i) the current meter gauge of 1 000 mm with a gross allowable load of 25 tons/axle; (ii) the Cape Gauge of 1 067 mm with a gross allowable load of 25 tons/axle; (iii) the standard gauge of 1 435 mm, i.e. UIC standard (European standards) with a gross allowable load of 25 tons/axle, or the AREMA gauge (North American standards) with a gross allowable load of 32 tons/axle. The Cape Gauge is the one used on the railway line linking Tanzania to Zambia and equally used by southern African countries.

Aid Coordination

2.1.5 The three Governments have undertaken to improve the performance of the transport sector within the framework of their transport sector policies. Aid provided by donors is coordinated in the context of these policies by the ministries in charge of finance. In addition, consultation meetings held with donors, notably the World Bank and the European Union, during the study terms of reference preparation mission helped to exchange views on the constraints, reforms and ongoing/future operations in the transport sector, as well as ensure their consistency. Discussions were also held with donors, notably the World Bank and the European Union, on the design of Phase II of the study which is the subject of this memorandum. Although these donors will not finance the study, they will support its implementation. Furthermore, they will participate in project financing. The discussions confirmed the Bank’s approach which is to focus Phase II of the study on PPP structuring in order to enhance the project’s appeal to potential investors.

2.1.6 At the end of the study, a round table of development partners and potential private investors will be organized to arouse interest in financing the project. The cost of the round table is included in the cost of the study. Dialogue and exchange of views with donors represented in the three countries will also be held during Bank supervision missions.

Participatory Approach

2.1.7 In line with the participatory approach, the scope and methodology of the study were discussed during the terms of reference preparation mission. Discussions were held with transport specialists (especially rail transport specialists), governments of the three countries, private sector operators (particularly mining companies operating in the three countries) and the population in the PIA. The proposed study will also follow the participatory approach (public consultation) in accordance with the relevant Bank guidelines. To that end, nine seminars and/or workshops (three per country) will be organized for various socio- professional groups (population, private operators, NGOs, donors, community organizations, etc.) and ministerial departments of the three countries. Public consultations in all areas covered by the study will be held with various stakeholders and beneficiaries, including public and private sector vocational associations, local authorities and development committees, to obtain points of view with regard to the construction of the proposed railway line. The observations and recommendations made at the end of the seminars and workshops will be reflected in the final study report.

Private Sector Participation

2.1.8 The three Governments have liberalized transport sector activities by involving the private sector. However, they continue to assume responsibility for mobilizing investment resources. Hence, the Tanzanian Government leased the technical and commercial operation of the railway network of the former Tanzania Railways Cooperation (TRC) to a private operator, Tanzania Railway Limited (TRL). However, the rail assets remain the property of the Tanzanian State through Reli Assets Holding Company (RAHCO) which replaced Tanzania Railways Cooperation. RAHCO manages the leased rail assets and retains responsibility for implementing heavy infrastructure renewal projects. The Government of Tanzania also established a regulator, Surface and Marine Transport Agency (SUMATRA), responsible for issuing railway operating licenses, ensuring railway safety and approving engineering and maintenance standards. The consultant will examine the operation of the railway concession agreement in force between TRL and the Government of Tanzania as well as other concession agreements in the region, and draw lessons for the proposed study. Furthermore, as part of the national transport policy which prioritizes private sector involvement in transport activities, the three Governments intend to involve the private sector in financing the project and managing future railway infrastructure in the form of Public Private Partnership (PPP).

2.2 Study Objectives

2.2.1 The overall study objective is to contribute to strengthening railway infrastructure of East Africa Transport Corridors to meet the needs of regional integration and development of areas with mining, industrial and agricultural potential.

2.2.2 The specific objective of Phase II of the study is to: (i) provide an optimal engineering design of Dar es Salaam-Isaka/Keza-Musongati railway line on the Central Transport Corridor; and (ii) recommend Public Private Partnership (PPP) models for financing the project and managing railway infrastructure.

2.3 Study Description

2.3.1 Phase II of the study concerns the rehabilitation of the existing Dar es Salaam- Isaka railway line and construction of the new Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati railway line. Technically, three gauge options will be analyzed, namely: (a) construction of the new railway line and rehabilitation of the current railway line keeping the current meter gauge standard; (b) construction of the new railway line and rehabilitation of the existing railway line keeping the current meter gauge standard, with the possibility of subsequently converting it into Cape Gauge for harmonization with the railway networks of southern Africa; and (c) construction of the new railway line and rehabilitation of the existing railway line with UIC (European standards) or AREMA (North American standards) standard gauge.

Study Components

2.3.2 Study services: these will cover engineering, economic, financial, institutional, environmental and social impact aspects of the project, and will involve: (i) reviewing and deepening Phase I Study reports, the BNSF report on the feasibility study to rehabilitate the existing railway line, the Master Plan of Dar es Salaam Port as well as any other document deemed relevant for Phase II of the study; (ii) estimating/fine-tuning the cost of rehabilitating the existing railway line and building the new railway line using different track gauge standards; and (iii) conducting a cost-benefit analysis of the options proposed and submitting to the three Governments detailed recommendations on the optimal option.

This component includes the design of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model and will entail identification/diagnosis of existing and potential problems relating to the legal, regulatory, institutional and financial framework which the three Governments would face. The Governments must first find appropriate solutions to such issues in order to facilitate and promote the implementation of the future railway project. The solutions will include: (i) renegotiating the existing concession agreement between the Government of Tanzania and Tanzania Railway Limited; (ii) streamlining and harmonizing customs operations through the new Customs Union to shorten timelines/eliminate delays and ensure traffic fluidity; (iii) preparing a draft agreement for future railway concession; (iv) preparing a schedule/timeframe for all activities needed for project implementation and sustainability; and (v) preparing a transport and trade facilitation programme.

2.3.3 Technical assistance services: plans have been made to mount Technical Assistance (TA) for the study at the Study Coordination Unit (SCU). This will comprise technical support to the SCU in monitoring study activities and reviewing various reports prepared as part of the study (draft/final inception and progress reports). In that regard, TA will participate in meetings of the Study Technical Monitoring Committee (STMC) to assess and reach a decision on the technical quality of reports and their acceptability, or decide on any other technical issues concerning the study.

2.3.4 Financial audit services: the study accounts will be audited annually. The audit firm must ascertain that the study accounts are kept in accordance with good accounting practices.

2.3.5 Study coordination and monitoring: the Study Coordination Unit and the Study Technical Monitoring Committee set up since 2004 under Phase I will coordinate and monitor the study. This task includes administration, management and routine monitoring of the technical, administrative and financial implementation of study activities.

2.4 Study Estimated Cost

The estimated cost of Phase II of the study, net of taxes and customs duty, will amount to USD 8.15 million or UA 5.25 million, of which UA 4.36 million (83.06% of the study cost) payable in foreign exchange and UA 0.89 million (16.94% of the study cost) payable in local currency. This cost includes 5% and 4.06% provision for physical contingencies and price escalation, respectively. It was estimated on the basis of the unit prices of recent studies carried out in the three countries and others approved lately by the ADF. The estimated study cost, details of which are given as Annex 3, is summarized in

2.5 Sources of Financing

2.5.1 The study will be financed by the ADF and the Governments of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. ADF financing will not exceed UA 5 million (including UA 3.3 million from multinational resources and UA 1.7 million from country allocations). The UA 3.3 million multinational allocation will be shared equitably between the three countries. This financing represents 95.24% of the total cost and will cover 100% of the foreign exchange cost (UA 4.36 million) and 72% (UA 0.64 million) of the local currency cost. ADF financing will cover: (i) the entire expenditure on the study, technical assistance to the SCU and financial audit services; and (ii) part of the expenditure on study coordination and monitoring activities. It is worth noting that Tanzania is only eligible for the ADF loan, and Rwanda and Burundi for the ADF grant.

2.5.2 The three Governments will contribute UA 0.25 million to study financing, representing 4.76% of the total cost or 28% of the local currency cost. The contribution of the Governments will cover part of the expenditure on study coordination and monitoring. It will be shared as follows: (a) UA 0.083 million for Tanzania; (b) UA 0.084 million for Rwanda; and (c) UA 0.083 million for Burundi. This distribution is in keeping with ADF-XI provisions for multinational operations. Table 2.2 below shows the financing plan. The detailed financing plan is given as Annex 4.

Evidence of opening the special foreign exchange account will be a loan and grant condition (Condition 7.2.3 Bi).

2.6.3 Counterpart contribution: each of the three countries will open a special local currency account bearing the study name in a commercial bank acceptable to the ADF, into which the counterpart contribution will be deposited. Evidence of opening these three special local currency accounts will be a loan and grant condition (Condition 7.2.2 Bi, 7.2.3 Bii and 7.2.4 Bi). These accounts will be replenished in accordance with the expenditure schedule.

3. STUDY ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

3.1 Executing Agency

3.1.1 The study will be implemented under the oversight of ministries in charge of transport in the three countries, namely Rwanda’s Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA), Tanzania’s Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) and Burundi’s Ministry of Transport, Post and Telecommunications (MTPT). However, for reasons of efficiency in steering the study, the three Governments have agreed that Rwanda will coordinate the study and that MININFRA will be the study executing agency.

3.1.2 For routine management and monitoring of study activities, the Study Coordination Unit (SCU) set up in Rwanda since 2004 under Phase I will manage and monitor the implementation of Phase II. The SCU will be placed under the supervision of the Planning, Policy and Capacity Building Unit (PPCBU) of MININFRA. The SCU will comprise a Coordinator assisted by a Deputy and an Accounts Manager, as well as support staff. It will ensure the technical, administrative, accounting, financial and organizational management of the study. In addition, the SCU will regularly inform the EAC and the Central Transport Corridor Coordination Authority on progress of the study. The study organizational chart is shown as Annex 2.

3.1.3 Since 2004, the SCU has satisfactorily coordinated, managed and monitored Phase I of the study financed by the Bank. To strengthen its technical and operational capacity, the SCU will, under Phase II, receive technical assistance support which will collaborate with the Unit to provide technical monitoring for the study. The technical assistance summary Terms of Reference are given as Annex 7.

4. PROCUREMENT OF SERVICES

4.1 Services will be procured in accordance with Bank Rules of Procedure for the Use of Consultants. Procurement will be carried out by consultation on the basis of two short lists of consulting firms (one for the study and the other for technical assistance) and a short list of audit firms (for the financial audit). The procedure for selecting consultants for the study and technical assistance will be based on the “Quality and Cost Based Selection” (QCBS) method. For the financial audit, the procedure for selecting an audit firm will be based on the “Lowest Cost Selection” (LCS) method. The services procurement procedure will be managed entirely by Rwanda, lead country and Study Coordinator, in conjunction with the Study Technical Monitoring Committee. Rwanda’s national procurement laws and regulations have been examined and deemed acceptable. Arrangements for procurement of services are presented in Table 4.1 below. The contract award plan is shown in Annex 6.

4.2 A General Procurement Notice (GPN) will be issued and published in the United Nations “Development Business Journal” immediately upon approval of the loan and grant proposal by the Board of Directors. The lead country will submit the following documents for review by the Bank before they are finalized and published: (i) Requests for proposals (RFP) from consulting firms for the study, technical assistance and financial audit; (ii) short lists of consulting firms; (iii) bid appraisal reports and reports on appraisal of consultants’ proposals, including recommendations for contract award; and (iv) draft contracts where those in the request for proposals (RFP) had been amended (RFP).

5. STUDY JUSTIFICATION

5.1 The Dar es Salaam-Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati railway project study addresses the need to open up and develop a vast service area covering not only Rwanda, Burundi and North-West of Tanzania, but also the East of Democratic Republic of Congo and South-West Uganda. This area is a rich reservoir of diverse mineral ores. It is also an area for growing food and cash crops, and for manufacturing industries.

5.2 Rwanda abounds in mineral deposits most of which are tapped on a small-scale. Available statistical data on Rwanda’s development indicators show that mining production, though still low, was about 3 835 tons of cassiterite, 188 tons of colombo-tantalite, and 1 436 tons of tungsten in 2006. Rwanda also has natural gas reserves in Lake Kivu, estimated at 55 billion m3, of which 39 billion m3 exploitable, and precious stones (ruby and sapphire). In addition, the country has raw materials for various industries, such as travertine and pozzolan for the cement industry; lime and kaolin for the ceramic industry, silica sand for the glass- making industry; trachyte for making fertilizers, and building materials (marble, granite, clay and laterite).

5.3 Shinyanga and Kagera Regions in Tanzania, with a population of about 5 185 000, have vast reserves of nickel, gold and diamond which are not yet fully exploited. Mining activity is dominated by gold extraction, mainly in the Kahama district. Tanzania has nickel sulphide deposits estimated at about 36 million tons with 2.8% nickel content at the Kabanga site. The feasibility study for the exploitation of these mines is being carried out by the franchisee company (Kabanga Nickel).

5.4 Burundi has huge nickel deposits (sulphuric and lateritic), the most famous of which is the Musongati deposit with reserves estimated to be more than 185 million tons with a 1.6% nickel content, including 72 million tons of proven reserves. Multinational mining companies are interested in exploiting the mineral deposits (nickel, copper and cobalt). In addition, the Burundian sub-soil contains huge mineral reserves proven by various studies. In the North, there are many gold, cassiterite and colombo-tantalite deposits, and all over the country there are proven reserves of vanadium ore (about 10 million tons), and phosphates (about 17 million tons). Burundi also has industrial mineral ores such as carbonate rocks (about 2 million tons) used for making cement and raw materials (kaolin, quartzite and feldspar) used for producing ceramic ware.

5.5 The main expected socio-economic benefits of the project are: (i) a sharp drop in the cost of imported goods at national level. Transport costs account for about 40% of the cost of imported products in Rwanda and Burundi. The drop in the cost of imported goods will result in a reduction of the trade deficit, an increase in foreign exchange earnings and, ultimately, increased economic growth; (ii) a fall in the cost of exporting mine and agricultural products, and encouragement of private operators to promote and diversify exports; and (iii) promotion of productive activities (primary and secondary sectors), thanks to new means of transporting goods at the internal and international levels.

5.6 The interest shown in the railway line also stems from the comparative advantages of this mode of transport compared to the road. This includes bulky commodity transport capacity (mine, industrial, agricultural products), lower transport cost, greater security/safety of transporting goods, a longer life span of railway infrastructure (at least 30 years), an organized railway transport offer which facilitates programming of production in the area by economic actors.

5.7 The proposed study will enable the Governments of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi to have instruments for making decisions on rational investment in the proposed railway infrastructure which will contribute to: (a) developing mining, industrial and agricultural activities in the area; and (b) opening up the countries internally and to the outside world and regional integration, by facilitating low-cost transportation of goods within the area. The study will also enable them to have a PPP model that will draw the involvement of the private sector and help mobilize financing for the project and managing railway infrastructure.

6. OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONSULTANTS AND THE GOVERNMENTS

6.1 Obligations of the Consultants

The consultants will be solely responsible for delivering study, technical assistance and financial audit services. They will take all the necessary steps to ensure the delivery of services within the set time frames. They will draw up an accurate list of all the documents put at their disposal by the three governments or produced during the delivery of

their services. The documents, which they will keep, will be considered as confidential and used as such. They will be returned to the governments at the end of the assignment. The consultant responsible for the study will, within the framework of his/her contract, cover all expenses relating to the organization of information seminars, restitution and validation of study findings, training of counterparts as well as expenses for the round table of development partners and private investors.

6.2 Obligations of the Governments

6.2.1 The three Governments will put at the disposal of the consultants all existing studies, documents and information that may help them in their mission. The cost of recent railway works carried out in Tanzania and in the region as well as recent data on the costs of railway fixtures and equipment maintenance will be communicated to the consultant responsible for the study. The Governments will, during each financial audit operation, provide the audit firm with all supporting documents related to the use of counterpart funds. The Governments will provide, in each country, working premises for the Study Technical Monitoring Committee.

Facilities and Exemptions

6.2.2 The Governments will grant the consultants and staff duly recruited to work under them (a list will be communicated beforehand through the executing agency): (i) exemption from immigration restrictions for themselves and members of their family, the necessary entry visas, permits and authorizations for their travel on the entire territories of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi, and access to existing facilities; and (ii) authorization to import foreign currencies into Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi, in accordance with exchange regulations in the three countries. The Governments will authorize, as appropriate, the re-exportation of the remainder of such foreign currencies at the end of delivery of the consultants’ services.

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Conclusions

The Governments of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi intend to develop sufficient rail transport infrastructure to support their economic and social development programmes and promote regional economic cooperation. That is the purpose of this study and the subject of this memorandum. The study will facilitate the technical design of the Dar es Salaam- Isaka-Kigali/Keza-Musongati railway line on the Central Transport Corridor and the development of appropriate Public Private Partnership (PPP) financing models for the project and for the management of railway infrastructure. It will also facilitate rational decision- making on financing the project and managing railway infrastructure. The estimated cost of Phase II of the study is UA 5.25 million. The maximum contribution of the ADF stands at UA 5 million and covers the entire foreign exchange cost and part of the local currency cost. The Bank’s involvement is in line with the development priorities of the Governments of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi and the Bank’s Strategy Papers for the three countries.
