Project Showcase

The project supports operationalisation of the Single African Air Transport Market by addressing the infrastructure and airspace-management constraints that limit safe, efficient and competitive air transport. It covers both physical aviation infrastructure, including airports and air-navigation systems, and the institutional and technical architecture required for a seamless African airspace. The master plan is expected to consolidate national and regional plans, forecast traffic and capacity needs, identify infrastructure gaps, prioritise investments and develop an implementation roadmap. The seamless airspace component is intended to promote harmonised procedures, performance-based navigation, flexible routes, common surveillance-code arrangements and interoperable CNS/ATM systems. The African Union Commission and AFCAC are the principal continental institutions, working with ICAO, regional economic communities, air-navigation service providers, civil-aviation authorities and industry stakeholders. All African Union member states are beneficiaries. A continent-wide aviation infrastructure gap analysis was completed and validated in 2023. Official ICAO and AFCAC reporting in 2024-2026 indicates that its results are being used to refine the air-navigation master strategy and identify bankable national and regional projects. The 2026 AU Assembly still called for mobilisation of financing for development of the Continental Aviation Infrastructure Master Plan.

Upgrading of road from DSM to Manyoni to Isaka (Tanzania).

The One - Stop - Border - Post (OSBP) is juxtaposed. Offices in Burundi and Tanzania are located in each country at a certain distance from the borderline. In offices, the different Officers (from both countries) are seated side by side and all sevices are done simultaneously.The construction of all offices in Burundi and Tanzania has been funded by Trade Mark Africa.

Upgrading of 76 km of single carriageway from Kidahwe to Uvinza (Tanzania)

The project comprise of the following: (1) complete or initiate dredging of port of Kigoma to restore design depths of generally around 6 m on approach to, in anchorage and along Berths; (2) establish a watercourse management system to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation at ports; and (3) rehabilitating or establishing of areas and ramps to accommodate vehicles (in particular MAFI trailers and forklifts) involved with RoRo operations at ports.

Upgrading of 48 km of approach roads and the Malagarasi bridge (Tanzania).

Upgrading of 252 km of single carriageway from Mpanda to Kanazi (Tanzania).

Construction of Rusumo One-Stop Border Post between Tanzania and Rwanda, which lies on the Central Corridor. Border type: Juxtaposed and on the borderline of the Kagera River.  The facility on the Rwandan side was completed and handed over (to DGIE) in December 2015 and handover of the facility on the Tanzanian side (to TRA) in October 2015. 

Construction of the Tanzania section of the Tanzania-Malawi transmission interconnector. Tanzania section consists of construction of a 400kV interconnector from Tanzania (KyelaMbeya) to the Songwe border post at the frontier with Malawi. (TOR feasibility study for Tanzania Malawi Interconnector)

Kenya already has several sub-marine fibers landing in Mombasa and has already done terrestrial fiber connecting the sub-marine cable to the borders of the other partner countries ( Busia border for Uganda, Mandera border for Somalia, Moyale border for Ethiopia, Nadapal border for South sudan, Lunga-lunga, Namanga and Holili border for Tanzania). The inter-connectivity infrastructure at the border points comprising 400 Gbps PoPs and Smart Hub data centre in Mombasa are lacking.

Upgrading of the access road to the Port of Kigoma (Tanzania) by the Lake Tanganyika.
