Our Arup Independent Environmental and Social Consultant (IESC) Team have just completed our 16th E&S Monitoring Visit to the Dar es Salaam to Makutupora Standard Gauge Railway Project. It was a special one for me personally - after working on this project for over half a decade I was finally able to ride the train between Dar and Dodoma. What a ride it was, skimming through the Tanzanian countryside in the country’s first fully electric high speed train! What has been achieved here by all parties, notably TRC and Yapi Merkezi, is nothing short of remarkable. Has it been challenging? Incredibly. Have there been bumps in the road? Absolutely. Nevertheless, the progress and efforts made over the years to align the project with the international standards has been impressive to witness. We are proud to have contributed to the success of this game changing project. Hopefully the work will help to secure a legacy for sustainable railway development in Tanzania for future generations to come.
