Tanzania Transport Sector The Tanzania transport sector plays a crucial role in the growth of the Tanzanian economy; it facilitates domestic and international trade, contributes to national integration, and provides access to jobs, health, education and other essential facilities. The effectiveness, appropriateness and adequacy of the Tanzania transport system all contribute a great deal to the successful implementation of socioeconomic activities, the lowering of domestic production costs through timely delivery, the enhancement of the economies of scale in the production process and the creation of economic opportunities. The economic opportunities in Tanzania include the ease of market access, the strengthening of competition, the promotion of trade and export, the contribution of tourism and foreign investment to government revenue and the generation of a large number of employment opportunities. In the past five years, the transport sector in Tanzania has helped to integrate market- strengthening competition, increased access to farming techniques, promoted trade, tourism, and foreign investment, and has also contributed to the government revenue. The growth and performance of the Tanzania transport sector have continued to improve both because of government efforts and because of private sector investment in road rehabilitation, the expansion of telecommunications services, the modernization of port services, and the improvement in marine, railway and air transport services. |
