2 Tanzania Logistics Infrastructure In the recent years, Tanzania, in partnership with the neighboring countries, has implemented One Stop Border Post (OSBP) concept, which aims to reduce transit costs incurred in cross-border movement by combining the activities of these countries’ border organizations and agencies at a single common location. The project implementation over the last years at different border crossings has boosted trade facilitation across borders by harmonizing border control regulations and procedures, enabling expeditious and more effective border control mechanisms. Road transport is the most widely used form of transport in Tanzania carrying over 90% of the passengers and 75% of the freight traffic in the country. The road network in Tanzania currently comprises 86,472 km of roads of which, 12,786 km are trunk roads, 21,105 km are regional roads and the remaining 52,581 km are district, urban and feeder roads. The Central Corridor is a combination of transport routes (rail, road and lakes) that connect Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda from the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. In the context where exchanges with Zambia are increasing, the Government of Tanzania is investing in the improvement of the road network in the southern part of the country, i.e. roads linking Dar es Salaam port and Mtwara port to Zambia borders. The airfield infrastructure in Tanzania is composed of three international airports located in Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Stone Town. A fourth international airport in Mbeya (Songwe) is developing. In addition, the country counts more than 50 medium or small airports which are mainly used by national flight companies for passengers’ transport and by private planes. Concerning the railways network, the country counts two different gauges system operated by two different companies. In the southern part of the country, TAZARA is operating a network linking Dar es Salaam to South Africa. The rail network operated by Tanzania Railways limited (TRL) links Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, the western border, as well as Uganda and other countries located in the north of Tanzania. The gauge of TRL railways is 1,000 mm while TAZARA is operating a network composed by 1,067 mm track gauge. Page 1.

Using qualitative methods, including co-investigation with community members, data were triangulated from diverse sources: vulnerable women and other residents in two Tanzanian districts, road contractors, professionals engaged in supporting the country’s transport programmes and staff in donor agencies. The results indicate that progress in mainstreaming has been slow. Despite government directives, few women have benefitted from employment in road construction except through two national programmes: the Village Travel and Transport Programme and the Tanzania Social Action Fund. However, most women, particularly those disadvantaged, derive benefit from road improvement, even if only as pedestrians or wheelchair users taking advantage of a smoother surface, or better travel security when vegetation is cut back.

Overcoming the First Mile - Lessons from Farmers in Kenya & Tanzania
OVERCOMING THE FIRST MILE - LESSONS FROM FARMERS IN KENYA & TANZANIA J. HINE, P. NJENGA, S. WILOLO International Forum for Rural Transport and Development (IFRTD), PO Box 314, 00502 Karen, Nairobi, Kenya [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], ABSTRACT Two small-scale pilot studies were undertaken investigating the initial ‘First Mile’ farm to market transport constraints faced by onion farmers in Nyeri County Kenya and tomato farmers in the Kilolo District Tanzania. Data on transport loads, costs and mode of transport were collected together with other information on transport challenges faced including transport delays and crop losses. In both locations, hired head and back loading was the prime method of movement on the initial journey (typically from one to four km) to the first point of consolidation. This method of transport could be over 20 times as expensive (on a per ton/km basis) than movement by truck. It was also found that the initial movements could account for between 10% and 40% of the total farmer’s crop earnings. Crop losses from bruising, getting wet and unpredictable delays were also common. In Kenya farmers groups had attempted to overcome the challenges through both load consolidation, to gain advantages of the economies of scale of truck transport, and by developing a better route to take their produce. However it was found that the new route had major limitations, on vehicle movements, that could be easily solved by simple technical advice. 1 1. INTRODUCTION The paper describes two small-scale pilot studies carried out in Kenya and Tanzania into the issues associated with transporting harvest produce on the initial stages of movement from the farm.

Abstract: Many of the electronic chart position deviations that observed today come from past graphic collecting techniques of Nautical Chart. This study introduces an assessment of the challenges of hydrography and accuracy of the chart information based on requirements on nautical charts in Tanzania. The assessment of the challenges of hydrography and accuracy of the chart information is particularly important to strengthen data accuracy and meet the requirement of nautical charts in Tanzania. Primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the respondents and questionnaires as a tool. Secondary data obtained through, journals, articles, and report both published and unpublished. Quantitative data were analyzed by using SPSS whereas qualitative data analyzed by using content analysis. Data provided in this article will improve nautical navigational charts practices in Tanzania and reduce variation greatly in accuracy to help mariners make informed decisions based on the data in their on- board navigation systems. The article is relevant to the new IHO guide on how to assess the accuracy and reliability of depth and position information in nautical navigation charts. The recommendations have been arranged that nautical charts, which offer much considerable information for the safe navigation of ships, are able to work more efficiently.
