The Tabora–Nzega–Igunga–Singida Water Project, costing TZS 602 billion (around USD 232 million), is poised to significantly improve water access for residents in Tabora and Singida regions.
Under the leadership of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, the initiative targets direct benefits for 1.2 million people, highlighting the government’s continued investment in critical infrastructure.
The project is expected to generate 54.1 million litres of water daily, equivalent to nearly 19.8 billion litres annually.
The increase in water supply could substantially reduce shortages that have historically affected both urban and rural communities in these regions.
With its completion, national water coverage is projected to rise to 91.6% in urban areas and 83.0% in rural areas.
This aligns with President Samia’s broader vision of achieving 95% urban and 85% rural water access by 2030, demonstrating a long-term commitment to sustainable development and improving living standards.
Such large-scale projects not only address immediate water needs but also have multiplier effects on health, agriculture, and economic activities, positioning the regions for growth and improved quality of life.
The initiative reflects a strategic approach to infrastructure development, combining government investment with targeted service delivery to communities that have historically faced water scarcity.
