    TANZANIA & ZANZIBAR DIARY Dates: 24th June 2009 to 6th August 2009 43 Days Tanzania miles = 3016 miles (4826 km) Trip miles = 12835 miles (20536 km) Day 136 - Wednesday 24th June CONTINUED Zambia to Tanzania First stop at the Tunduma border was the Tanzanian immigration: fill out the entry forms and hand over with passports to one official; then hand over US$50 each for visas to another official and then waited and waited. Judi stayed on whist I went to the customs desk to get the carnet stamped up; ‘anything to declare?’ He gave me a funny look when I said no but he accepted it. Apart from exiting South Africa in March, nobody has even seen the vehicle let alone look at it or inspect it. Next stop, road fund licence, US$20, and fuel levy, US$5: closed, gone to lunch. And this is the only commercial international border crossing between Zambia and East Africa! Back to the vehicle where an insurance certificate and windscreen sticker had been prepared for us for another US$70 for three months; my advisor assured me it would have been US$70 for just one day. I believed him as he was my trusty personal advisor! Against all advice we decided to change some pounds for Tanzanian shillings as we probably couldn’t do this at a bank; we knew the rate would be poor but I left Judi to it. I was still waiting for the office to open when I heard a familiar car alarm go off. I wandered back to the vehicle to find Judi, who had locked the doors on the fob rather than door button, inside but had moved to get some water as it was hot and set the alarm off! She was a bit upset as she thought she had been diddled on the exchange rate by a factor of 10.

  • Background of the Project
    Chapter 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT Chapter 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT The TANZAM Highway is an international trunk road that starts from Dar es Salaam, the capital city and largest sea port in Tanzania. It passes through the west of Tanzania and terminates at Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia, having a total length of 1,400 km with the Tanzanian section being about 920 km. The TANZAM Highway not only provides access to sea transport for the landlocked and nationhood countries of Zambia, Malawi and Congo, but also serves as a transportation road for agricultural products and cash crops for export from primary agricultural production areas e.g. Iringa and Mbeya regions in western Tanzania. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy of these regions and supports the living level of the farmers that make up the majority of the poor population. The highway is nominated as the most important road in Tanzania from the viewpoint of direct benefit to people who live along the road, movement of agricultural products and cash crops, and distribution of physical products. The "Kitonga Gorge" has steep grades and frequent sharp curves for a section of about 10 km in mountainous terrain located on the TANZAM Highway in Iringa region, 450 km from Dar es Salaam. After improvement of the road with an asphalt concrete surface of 2 lanes in 1973, no substantial rehabilitation has been conducted, even though serious deep rutting appeared due to the increase in heavy-vehicle traffic. While other parts of the TANZAM Highway have been rehabilitated by various donor countries, the serviceability of Kitonga Gorge section is very poor and is well-known for its high accident rate because of the damaged road surface, improper drainage facilities, eroded shoulders and inadequate traffic safety facilities The poor condition of the road at Kitonga Gorge has been preventing the vital movement of agricultural products and inputs such as fertiliser.

  • Fund Shall Maintain a Register of Universal Service Provision Which Shall Include the Following
    UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE ACCESS FUND PUBLIC REGISTER OF UNIVERSAL SERVICE PROVISION 1. INTRODUCTION The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania established the Universal Communications Service Access Fund (the Fund) to promote universal access to information and communications technology services in Tanzania. The Fund is responsible for enabling accessibility and participation by communication operators in the provision of communication services, with a view to promoting social, economic development of the rural and urban underserved areas; to provide for availability of communication services by establishing a legal framework for universal service providers to meet the communication needs of consumers. Section 15 of The Universal Communications Service Access Act, 2006 provides designation of universal service providers.
