Following a workshop by Tanzania’s National Economic Empowerment Council (NEEC) and the African Natural Resources Centre of the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Bank has approved a $29.8 million loan to mobilize its domestic resources.
The funds are expected to enable the country realize the full potential of its natural gas whose large offshore discoveries can double its GDP, give access to energy and facilitate industrial development.
AfDB’s Country Manager for Tanzania (OIC) Chidozie Emenuga said, “The AfDB is stepping up its support to the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania to develop the gas sector that is potentially transformative for the country.”
Through a sound regulatory framework to manage the reserves and attract investment; support for the government to ensure Tanzania gets the best deals; and formulation of local content policies the project will create jobs in the gas sector and help Tanzania get the best value from its natural gas resources.
The country will leverage on local content initiatives to ensure that the local private sector can benefit from large foreign investments estimated at $40 billion to develop production and export facilities.
Gas domestication which will enable access of the resource at regional level, develop regional infrastructure and private sector development is another priority for the Government

I think Geza, you have to rethink your attitude towards Kenya. Her priorities may not be exactly what suits TZ and vice versa. So I don't get why you have to post all that you post here. Irrelevance if I may add. It derails the topic. Mining, gas etc.

A lot that Kenya is doing will change the eac mindset completely. I can bet that the next 5-10yrs will see the craziest growth rates over the last 30-40 years.
The devolved system has had its challenges, but as we embrace it fully now. The sky is the limit. Logistics thrive best on both hardware, software infrastructure as well as competent labour

AIR TANZANIA PILOTS AND ENGINEERS SET FOR TRAINING COURSES IN ADDIS ABABA
(Posted 16th April 2017)
Following the recent state visit by Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn to Tanzania are now news emerging from Dar es Salaam that Air Tanzania will use the Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy for the training of their pilots and engineering staff.
Only recently was it learned from a usually reliable aviation source in Dar es Salaam that Air Tanzania was in talks with Bombardier to very likely trade in their single Q300 aircraft for a more modern Q400NextGen bird, which will bring the overall number of such aircraft, both operating and on order, to four.
Ethiopian Airlines is operating a fleet of at last 15 Bombardier Q400NextGen’s and has clearance from the manufacturer to train not just pilots and cabin crew on this aircraft type but also engineers.
It is understood that as many as 20 engineering staff and a dozen pilots may be dispatched to Addis Ababa during the course of the year to undergo not just mandatory refresher training but also to obtain type rating on the Q400NextGen aircraft.

Rio Tinto enters mineral sands joint venture in Tanzania

Rio Tinto has signed an earn-in and joint venture agreement worth up to $US10.75 million ($14.5 million) with Strandline Resources for a suite of heavy minerals sands (HMS) tenements in Tanzania.
Strandline’s portfolio, which includes the Miteja, Kiswere, Sudi and Mtwara prospects, is located in the southern region of Tanzania, extending along 350km of the country’s coastline.
Under the agreement, Rio has the option to spend up to $US9 million ($12 million) on project expenditure to earn up to a 75 per cent stake in the mineral sands portfolio, including additional cash payments of $US1.75 million ($2.5 million) to Strandline.
Strandline’s managing director and CEO, Luke Graham, welcomed Rio’s involvement as it reinforces the potential of the mineral sands assets.
“This transaction delivers a strong source of funding and regional mineral sands expertise to significantly enhance the development potential of the company’s southern ground in Tanzania, with a view to ultimately developing one or more economic mineral sands mines,” he said.
The joint venture enables Strandline to ramp up exploration activities in the project area, with Rio contributing both funds and expertise.
It also allows Strandline to simultaneously progress its northern projects and find additional exploration and development initiatives.
Strandline will act as the manager until Rio has earned a 51 per cent interest in the joint venture.
According to Graham, exploration activities are set to begin “as soon as practicable".
