Nyakunguru Irrigation Development and Watershed Management Project

Water Agricultural irrigation and drainage

Overview

Summary

This Project is located in Nyakunguru Village, Tarime District, northern Tanzania and was identified and prepared under the Mara River   While Nyakunguru Irrigation Development and Watershed Management Project (625 ha) in Lower Mara Sub has been included in the NELSAP project profiles (indicating that Identification done next is Prefeasibility, Feasibility ESIA, and detailed design), there is literature to indicate that as far as 2012, the Government of Tanzania with support from African Development Bank had solicited offer for the works of this very irrigation scheme. The difference between the scope of works under the two projects will be ascertained with time.
