These initiatives reflect Dodoma's commitment to urban development that is environmentally sustainable and aligned with Tanzania's national goals. The project will be implemented by four implementing agencies: TANROADS, TARURA, LATRA and the DCC, with TANROADS tasked with overall project implementation.
The city is also served by existing meter gauge railway (MGR) service and a newly opened standard gauge railway (SGR) link, complemented by significant intercity bus routes. The proposed Dodoma Integrated and Sustainable Transport (DIST) project is aligned with the World Bank's Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Tanzania (FY25–FY29).
Public transport provision evolution: Noting the importance of public transport for users in Dodoma, options for meeting the transport demand, such as dala dalas, formalized bus services, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), motorcycle taxis, light rail, and the wider spectrum of public transport.
The present intervention concerns the Dodoma City Outer Ring Road (110.2 Km) Construction Project. The project is a direct response to the need for improved logistics services to cope with the expected population boom and expansion of economic activities in the political capital of Dodoma.

Financed by the World Bank''s International Development Association (IDA), the investment will improve urban mobility through upgrading selected corridors, resilient access routes,
The construction of 758 new communication towers across Tanzania has reached 57 percent completion, according to the Universal Communications Service Access Fund (UCSAF).
The proposed Dodoma Integrated and Sustainable Transport (DIST) project is aligned with the World Bank''s Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Tanzania (FY25–FY29).
The DIST project tackles Dodoma''s growing mobility and infrastructure challenges through a combination of strategic investments and institutional strengthening.
These findings provide valuable insights into effective strategies for balancing the need to minimize RF radiation exposure from mobile base stations while maintaining acceptable mobile network service
Base stations are required to enable mobile phone communication, including calls and data transfer. They consist of different electronic components and antennas and can be located on masts, on
The results clearly demonstrate that the RF EME emissions from cellular base stations are several orders of magnitude below the maximum permitted limit contrary to the public perception.
By expanding network infrastructure through the construction of 758 communication towers, the project enhances internet access and digital connectivity in underserved and rural areas.
Speaking in Dodoma yesterday, Eng Mwasalyanda said that the 758 towers project is the largest initiative ever undertaken by UCSAF. “As of March 2025, 430 towers have been built and are
