On the 4th of February, in Dar es Salaam of the United Republic of Tanzania, the Exchange of Notes (E/N) for two ODA loan projects namely,
(1) Arusha-Holili Road Improvement Project (24.310 billion Yen approx. 489 billion TZS),
(2) Zanzibar Urban Water Distribution Facilities Improvement Project (10.864 billion Yen = 218 billion TZS),
and one grant aid project
(3) The Project for Rehabilitation of Kigoma Port (2.726 billion Yen approx. 55 billion TZS),
were signed by H.E. Mr. GOTO Shinichi, Ambassador of Japan in the United Republic of Tanzania and the East African Community (EAC) and Mr. Emmanuel Mpawe TUTUBA, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Planning of the United Republic of Tanzania.
These 3 projects are a good example of successful realization of TICAD 7 agenda and also serve to reiterate Japan’s vision on international cooperation with Africa and in this case with Tanzania and other East African countries. Japan pioneered international forum on Africa’s development in 1993 by establishing Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD). In the Seventh Conference, TICAD 7, which was held in Yokohama, in August 2019, three pillars were established, namely:
(i) Accelerating economic transformation and improving business environment through innovation and private sector engagement
(ii) Strengthening peace and stability
(iii) Deepening sustainable and resilient society
With respect to the above mentioned pillars, Japan has announced its full commitment to contribute in the investment on quality infrastructure to enhance connectivity, achieving human security and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and these three projects are intended to fulfil that pledge.
