The government has secured a €20mn grant, (about Sh60.7bn), from Germany to boost water supply and sanitation services in Tunduma and Vwawa Mlowo in Songwe Region, in a deal aimed at expanding access to clean water and improving public health services in fast growing urban centres.
The agreement was signed in Dodoma at Kambarage Hall, Treasury Square, between the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance and Paymaster General, Dr Natu El Maamry Mwamba, and the Director of the German Development Bank, KfW, in Tanzania, Vanessa Eidt.
The funding will support construction and expansion of water distribution systems, household connections, a wastewater treatment plant, sanitation infrastructure and public toilets in schools and other institutions, alongside procurement of exhauster trucks to improve waste management.
Dr Mwamba said the investment strengthens long-standing cooperation between Tanzania and Germany and directly targets improved living standards through reliable access to safe water and sanitation services.
