The road improvement is part of the Government strategy to develop its road network to support the socio-economic development of the country. vi | P a g e ESIA Report for Lusahunga – Rusumo (92 Km) Road April, 2020 The Lusahunga - Rusumo road plays a secondary role as International roads for export/import traffic of Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to and from the Dar es Salaam port, Uganda and the port of Mombasa in Kenya. The road also connects areas with variety of potential economic opportunities such as agriculture, livestock, forestry & minerals, fisheries and wildlife & tourism. Moreover, people living along the road and neighbouring villages will significantly benefit as their agricultural products will be easily transported to business centers (Ngara, Biharamulo town, Kahama, Bukoba etc). On top of that rehabilitation of this road shall lead to savings in vehicle operating costs (VOC), and travel time leading to reduction in transport costs to the users. The original design was done in 2014 by M/s Nicholas O’Dweyer Co. Ltd., and the original ESIA was done also in 2014 by the independent firm M/s Techniplan International Consulting. Due to changes in the project design, M/s H.P. Gauff Ingenieure were appointed by East Africa Community to undertake the review of the existing Feasibility Study, Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study and the Design of the project. In order to incorporate the recommendations of the Design Review in the ESIA, TANROADS Safeguards Environment and Social Consultants updated the ESIA in November, 2019. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Environment Management Act No.20 of 2004 and Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations (2005) of Tanzania with full cognizance with the Guidelines of the World Bank's Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies. Other important legal provisions providing guidance on environmental issues pertaining to road sector such as the Road Act (2007), Environmental Code of Practice for Road works (2009) and Environmental Assessment and Management Guidelines in the Road Sector (2004) have also been used in the undertaking Environmental and Social Impact Assessment. Subsequently, the ESIA certificate with registration No. EC/EIA/2690 was obtained from the National Environment Management Council in October 2016. Methodology A range of methods were used in conducting this ESIA study whereby both qualitative and quantitative methodologies were employed in collecting and analysing data for the ESIA. Those methods include; literature review, field visits and measurements, stakeholders identification and consultation and household interviews. Project Description The project road starts at Lusahunga centre through Nyakasanza and Benako and ends at Rusumo Border (Tanzania and Rwanda). Out of 92km of the project road 63km are located in Biharamulo district and the remaining 23km are located in Ngara District. The Project road traverses through four villages in Biharamulo district namely Lusahunga, Kikoma (Lusahunga Ward), Ngararambe and Nyabugombe, (Nyakahura ward) while on the Ngara district side there are two villages of Kasulo (Kasulo ward) and Rusumo (Rusumo ward). The Lusahunga – Rusumo road was upgraded in 1985 to bitumen standard for a vii | P a g e ESIA Report for Lusahunga – Rusumo (92 Km) Road April, 2020 design

  • Refugee and Development in Tanzania: an Exploration of Benefits of Refugee Presence on Local Communities a Case of North Western Tanzania
    Developing Country Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-607X (Paper) ISSN 2225-0565 (Online) Vol.5, No.12, 2015 Refugee and Development in Tanzania: An Exploration of benefits of Refugee Presence on Local Communities A case of North Western Tanzania Andrew Stanley CHING’OLE 11 Assistant Lecturer, St. John’s University of Tanzania, Institute of Development Studies, P.O. Box 47, Dodoma – Tanzania Tel: +255756241071 ABSTRACT: Since its independence, Tanzania has been the location of choice for many refugees in the Great Lakes region of Eastern Africa. As one of the most impoverished countries in the world, mass refugee migrations such as those experienced in the 1990s alter Tanzania’s own plight for social and economic development. This study explores the effects that refugees have had upon host communities’ economy in North Western Tanzania. The study has shown that there is a variety of evidence to prove both positive and negative effects. Although in contrary to many attestations of most scholarly literatures the study has shown that the benefits that the refugees provide are greater than the liability that they pose. According to the findings of this study the presence of refugees in Tanzania has been shown to increase the economic capacity through infrastructure and employment opportunities. In addition, the influx has also increased the volume of trade and amount of income to host communities. A balance sheet is created in order to appraise the relative economic effects that the refugees have caused throughout the years. Such a balance sheet should be considered in the development and implementation of future refugee policies to ensure appropriate treatment of the refugees and the host population in addition to supporting national economic growth.

  • Changing Priorities in Refugee Protection: the Rwandan Repatriation from Tanzania
    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 53 Changing priorities in refugee protection: the Rwandan repatriation from Tanzania Beth Elise Whitaker Department of Political Science George Washington University Washington, DC USA E-mail: [email protected] February 2002 These working papers are issued by the Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit, and provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers are written in a personal capacity and do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘Publications’ on the UNHCR website, http://www.unhcr.org ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction On December 5, 1996, the Tanzanian government and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued a joint statement that read, in part, “all Rwandese refugees in Tanzania are expected to return home by 31 December 1996.”1 That same day, UNHCR distributed information sheets to refugees about the repatriation exercise, including the immediate suspension of economic and agricultural activities in the camps. The camps had been home to more than half a million Rwandan refugees since 1994, when they fled civil war and an advancing rebel army at home. They were eventually joined in Tanzania by nearly 500,000 refugees from Burundi and Zaire.2 As a haven of peace in a troubled region, Tanzania had long hosted refugees from neighboring countries. By December 1996, however, patience seemed to have run out. 3 Upon receiving the repatriation announcement, many refugees wanted extra time to see how the integration of returnees from Zaire would unfold within Rwanda.4 Several wrote a letter to Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa requesting him to reconsider the December 31 deadline.

  • Survival and Accumulation Strategies at the Rural-Urban Interface in North-West Tanzania
    RURAL URBAN INTERFACE Survival and accumulation strategies at the rural-urban interface in north-west Tanzania Jonathan Baker SUMMARY: This paper presents empirical material collected in the small town of Biharamulo (population 20,000) and four surrounding villages in 1993. The study area is located in the Kagera Region of north-west Tanzania. The paper attempts to demonstrate how rural areas and small urban centres are eco- nomically interdependent. Biharamulo is a district headquarter town and fulfils, inter alia, important administrative, marketing, service and retailing functions. The paper discusses how the four villages interact with the town and illustrates how village households adopt a combination of survival and accumulation strategies including the use of rural and urban resources. The most successful village households appear to be those which use urban opportunities and assets (for example, urban employ- ment, urban house and shop ownership) to diversify income sources and thereby avoid the uncertainties of relying solely on market- able crop production for household security. As a backdrop to the whole discussion, an attempt is made to analyze the types of households which might be poor or, at least, susceptible to poverty. Dr. Jonathan Baker is Senior I.

While devastation from these disasters was documented in local reporting, Armada was only able to find cursory indicators of underlying sentiments that could lead to civil unrest or violence in the area. These indicators include Kagera government officials urging locals to remain calm and to not blame leaders for a perceived slow rebuilding process, arrests of government officials for trying to steal charitable donations in the aftermath of the earthquake, and concerns of a potential famine in the area.

  • The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania
    The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania: Resource The Extractive The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania: Status and challenges of the mining sector The existing mineral wealth in a country should be a blessing. However the experience in some countries shows that this can prove to be very problematic instead. This publication is inspired by the increasing discovery of minerals in East Africa and the concern about their impact on the future of the region. It argues that if timely investments are made in promoting and implementing good practices in this sector, the problems that have plagued other resource-rich countries can be avoided in Status and challenges of the mining sector East Africa. This report, a product of a process that has engaged various industry stakeholders focuses on Tanzania, which is a relatively late arrival to large-scale mining. It maps out the performance of the mining sector as one component of Tanzania’s extractive resource industry (ERI) and analyses the interactions of the different stakeholders over time. It argues that although there are a number of challenges faced by the ERI sector, Tanzania could yet become one of the best performers in her class. However this will require hard work and investments by all stakeholders. By providing information on the challenges and implications of the current state of the ERI in Tanzania, this report wishes to contribute to the on going discourse and efforts to improve the performance of the ERI in Tanzania in a way that incorporates public accountability and transparency as well as increased participation and benefit to the Tanzanian population.
