Project Overview

<table>
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<p><span>The Ngono Valley project
(located in the western shores of Lake Victoria and shared by the Districts
of Bukoba Rural and Missenyi) will develop a multipurpose reservoir, net
irrigated agriculture of approximately 5,825 ha, generation of hydropower, as
well as contribute towards sustainable land management of endangered
sub-catchments in the Ngono River Basin. The proposed projects are part of
the investment projects advanced by Tanzania to the NELSAP for projects
preparation and which were prioritized through the NEL Multi-Sector
Investment Opportunity Analysis. The project has been phased into two stages
as follows: The project includes command areas and a canal for small scale
farmers (stage 1), followed by stage 2 which includes a 17m high, 268 MCM
Dam, Hydropower plant with installed capacity 1.65MW, mean annual energy
production 8.7GWh, irrigation command areas for small- and large-scale
farming and will have 100,000 beneficiaries including water supply to 23
villages in Missenyi and Bukoba Districts on the western shores of Lake
Victoria, Tanzania. Feasibility studies, detailed design, ESIA have been
done, and the project is now seeking implementation funding of USD 243m. </span></p>
