The Tanzanian government says it has secured funding for the construction of a section of the standard gauge railway (SGR) linking Tanzania and Burundi.
The Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) is overseeing the construction of a 2,561-kilometre line that will link the Indian Ocean port of Dar es Salaam to the northwestern city of Mwanza on Lake Victoria, and eventually to Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.
