Tanzania secures $US 200m for rail enhancement project
The loan from the World Bank’s International Development Association will fund improvements to the Dar es Salaam - Isaka metre-gauge line.
TANZANIA has secured a $US 200m loan from the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) for the second phase of the Tanzania Intermodal Rail and Development Plan (TIRP-2).
The money will finance safety, climate resilience and operational efficiency improvements to the 970km Dar es Salaam - Isaka metre-gauge line.
In particular, it will fund climate resilience measures for the Kilosa - Gulwe - Igandu section of the line, providing operational and institutional support, including emergency response procedures.
IDA says that in addition to 900,000 direct beneficiaries, the project will indirectly have a positive impact on an estimated 3.5 million people, roughly 5% of Tanzania's population. This includes passengers and freight shippers, residents along the line, businesses involved in trade, and communities in the Kinywasungwe catchment area.
The new loan follows $US 270m lent by IDA for TIRP’s first phase which was completed in September 2022. Work included the rehabilitation of track and bridges, enabling axleloads to be increased from 13.9 tonnes to 18.5 tonnes on the 840km section between Dar es Salaam and Tabora, and the completion of designs to rehabilitate intermodal terminals at Dar es Salaam port, Ilala, and Isaka. TIRP-1 also included acquisition of additional rolling stock and contributed to the development of economic and safety regulations for open-access operations.
“The new project will invest in climate-informed infrastructure, adapting the corridor to natural disasters and mainstreaming climate resilience,” says Mr Yonas Mchomvu, senior transport specialist at the World Bank.
The investment in Tanzania’s metre-gauge network complements the ongoing development of the country’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project, the first two phases of which are nearly complete between Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and Makutupora.

Tanzania set for historic SGR train trial between Dar and Dodoma
Hellen Nachilongo
Friday, April 19, 2024
By Hellen Nachilongo
What you need to know:
- The test follows the February 26, 2024, trial covering 300 kilometres from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, being part of the implementation of an order by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
The United Republic of Tanzania was formed on April 26, 1964, following the unification of the two sides, with Julius Nyerere becoming the first President, and Sheikh Abedi Amani Karume serving as the first Vice President and chairman of the Revolutionary Council.
An electric train will be operated in the country’s 722-kilometre Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) infrastructure from the heart of Dar es Salaam to Makutupora in Dodoma.
The test follows the February 26, 2024, trial covering 300 kilometres from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, being part of the implementation of an order by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
She directed that by July this year, SGR train services from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma should have begun.
Tanzania has been postponing its implementation since April 2017.
President Samia was quoted saying: "I have been hearing about changes in the start dates for train services via the SGR railway from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, and indeed, citizens are tired of excuses; they want to see the train in operation. Therefore, I direct that by the end of July 2024, SGR railway services between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma must have commenced."
The test marks a significant step forward in Tanzania's efforts to modernise its transport infrastructure and boost connectivity across the nation.
Speaking on Friday, April 19, 2024, Permanent Secretary, Office in the Vice President’s Office, responsible for Union and Environment, Mr Cyprian Luhemeja, said the test will be held on Sunday, April 21, this year.
He said the trial expected to be led by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa will include religious leaders from both the Mainland and Zanzibar.
“This historic event will be followed by national prayers, whereas clergymen will pray for the country’s achievement as it marks 60 years of the union," he said during the official opening of the 60th anniversary of the trade exhibition of the union.
Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) head of public relations, Ms Jamila Mbarouk, told The Citizen that the trip was a continuation of the first successful test from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.
She said the trip will also include several government officials and CCM leaders.
"They will travel using an electric coach with new coaches. We expect to use between eight and 10 coaches.
There will be national prayers at the Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma on April 23 this year,” she said.
The first phase of the train trial took place on February 26, 2024, from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, using eight coaches and taking two hours and 20 minutes to reach the region.
During the 60th anniversary of the trade exhibition of the union, slated for April 19, 2024, to April 25, this year, Zanzibar’s Second Vice President Hemed Suleiman Abdulla underscored the need for Tanzania to protect and advocate for the union.
“The most important thing is that we will continue to protect the union at all costs. The youth must always be informed about the importance of the union and extend the professionalism of the union for the future generation,” he said in his opening speech.
He further stressed that the public must be informed of the benefits of the union as it commemorates its 60th anniversary.
“The union forefathers laid a good foundation; therefore, we don’t expect anyone to destroy this important legacy,” he said.
Mr Abddulla said that citizens need peace and unity, so it is important to protect the union at all costs.
The over 720-kilometre Dar-Dodoma line is the first and second phases of the SGR project, which is expected to run up to Mwanza on the shores of Lake Victoria and Kigoma on the northeastern shores of Lake Tanganyika in five phases.
There are plans to add connections to Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo as part of the East African Railway Master Plan.
The fourth phase will link Tabora to Isaka, a 130-kilometre line, where it will branch to Mwanza and Kigoma.

hio fedha ni afadhali ukajenga hata km 80 za sgr, itakua na maana sana kuliko kuendelea kuhudumia reli yenye changamoto nyingi wakati huo huo unajenga reli nyingine kando yake
Kutokua na tuta la reli na madaraja makubwa ni changamoto kubwa sana kwenye iyo reli, na kama hakutakua hilo na madaraja yanayoeleka kaa ujue kila mwaka kutakua na mikopo kwa ajili ya urekebishaj wa reli watu waendelee kula kupitia huo mgongo wa reli
Nina uhakika iyo fedha itatumika still hakutakua mwisho wa changamoto za iyo reli..
Wewe nyangau hujui hiyo reli inapita wapi wala benefit yake kwa Tanzania and great lakes region.
The MGR offers options to customers including a seamless connection as indicated in the inter modal strategy hatufanyi vitu kwa kukurupuka sisi au kufuata mkumbo.

fala wewe embu niambie mizigo inayopita kwenye reli ni asilimia ngapi ya mizigo yote inayoenda kwenye iyo region… Na kwanini Sgr inajengwa kwenye usawa wa Mgr?
Pili, niambie kwanini iyo reli ya MGR inaingiza hasara kila mwaka?
Tatu, kwanini Ilo eneo la kilosa Gulwe miaka zaidi ya 15 panakarabatiwa kila mwaka but still panaharibika...
Ivi wewe unadhani ilo eneo litakalokarabatiwa kwa izo fedha itakua ndio solution ya hapo wakati
Kumeshatolewaga fedha zaidi ya Usd 270 million uko nyuma kwa Trc kwa ajili ya ukarabati.. Ni nin kilifanyika hasa? Mbona matatizo ya hiyo reli ya Mgr hayaishi fala wewe?
