Transport Sector

JICA considers the development of the Northern and Central Corridors as one integrated growth ring, and by securing and promoting the use of domestic road networks and public transportation, it will work to enhance regional connectivity. This will help reduce traffic congestion and reduce CO2 emissions.

JICA will improve logistics in its tangible and intangible aspects to promote it and advance the enhancement of traffic safety and maintenance and management capabilities. Based on the "Dar es Salaam Urban Transport Masterplan (MP)," it will cooperate in alleviating congestion in Dar es Salaam and promote infrastructure development to contribute to the future development of Dodoma, to which the capital functions are moving.

Furthermore, using the EAC wide-area infrastructure advisors as a bridge, JICA will lead the organization of wide-area projects in the EAC area by engaging with the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) including OSBP, collaborating with JICA offices in neighboring countries, the African Union (AU), the African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa's Development (AUDA-NEPAD), and other donors.

This is consistent with the JGA "Transportation" and the Cluster Strategy "Building global networks."
