About TARURA:
The Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA) is an Executive Agency under the President’s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG), established in May 2017. Its primary mandate is to manage the development, rehabilitation, and maintenance of rural and urban road networks across Tanzania. Before TARURA’s establishment, the responsibility for these roads fell under local government authorities, which often faced challenges in effective management. TARURA was created to address these issues, improve service delivery, and enhance the overall road infrastructure, which is crucial for socio-economic development, connecting communities to markets, and facilitating access to essential services like healthcare and education.
TARURA’s responsibilities are extensive, encompassing various aspects of road management. This includes undertaking the procurement and management of contracts for design, upgrading, rehabilitation, routine and emergency repairs, and spot improvements of district roads. The agency also focuses on incorporating road safety design considerations to protect all road users, including vulnerable ones like pedestrians. Furthermore, TARURA is actively involved in initiatives like the Community-Based Routine Maintenance (CBRM) model, which aims to ensure sustainable participation and engagement of community groups, including women, youth, and people with disabilities, in the routine maintenance of rural roads.
To fulfill its mandate, TARURA receives funding primarily from the Roads Fund, with a significant portion of the national road sector allocation directed towards its operations. The government of Tanzania has progressively increased TARURA’s budget, enabling it to undertake extensive road construction and maintenance projects. The impact of TARURA’s work is evident in the expanded district road network, improved accessibility, and the creation of job opportunities in local communities through its projects. The agency’s commitment to community engagement and transparent contract management is vital for the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of its road infrastructure development efforts across the country.
