Tanzania-Uganda road development funding source

Preparation work for the improvement of the road connecting Uganda with Tanzania is being provided by the African Development Bank (AfDB). Funding worth US$1.5 million is being given by the AfDB to pay for the preparation work. The new road will connect Masaka in Uganda with Kagera in Tanzania and forms part of a programme to improve connections across East Africa. The road project is being carried out in three separate sections. One stretch measures 133km and runs from Kumunazi, through Bugene to Kasulo in Tanzania. Another 30km section is from Kyaka in Tanzania to Mutukula, which lies on the border with Uganda. The third section is 89.5km long and is from Mutukala to Masaka in Uganda.
