In October 2022, the World Bank announced the approval of new financing worth $200 million (more than TZS 500 billion) for the Msimbazi Basin Development Project in Tanzania's commercial hub Dar es Salaam.
According to the World Bank, the loan was expected to help reduce the flood exposure of over 300,000 people, including many low-income communities, while providing access to better infrastructure and services.
The bank said the project "will also help 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒂 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅-𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒂 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒗𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒂 that will benefit all residents of Dar es Salaam".
⏭️ Fast forward to 12 November 2023, this video taken today highlights a familiar problem for residents of the Msimbazi valley -- another rain reason, another flood.
It seems that little, if any, has changed to improve the infrastructure of the area, despite the government taking a loan worth more than half a trillion shillings from the World Bank to fix the problem.
What happened to the money?
