Buswahili Irrigation Scheme

Buswahili Irrigation Scheme is located in Musoma District. Presently, farmers depend partly on Buswahili dam to grow paddy but at a small scale due to the limited water resources. There is need to expand the dam through rehabilitation of the embankment and improve the irrigation canals. The scope would include (i) Feasibility studies and detailed design and (ii) construction works including rehabilitation of hydraulic infrastructure. Outputs would include increased rice production, improved household food security and contribution towards poverty alleviation.
