TANZANIA WINS US$21.7 MILLION FROM CLIMATE INVESTMENT FUNDS TO ADVANCE GEOTHERMAL EXPLORATION AND TRANSFORM ITS ENERGY SECTOR

The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) has approved US $21.7 million for the United Republic of Tanzania to finance its Geothermal Energy Development Project. 

The project serves as a significant step in advancing the country’s plans to transform its national economy bolstered by an affordable and baseload sustainable energy technology. It will develop the Ngozi geothermal steam field in southwestern Tanzania and ultimately showcase the technology’s broader potential in the country’s energy transformation. 

The project is funded under the CIF’s Scaling-up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) and will receive US $ 5 million as loan and US$16.73 million in grant resources to be implemented by AfDB. 

Tanzania has made significant economic and social progress over the past 20 years and is today one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s best economic performers. However, the country still wrestles with poverty and an under-developed energy sector, with half of its electricity being generated by fossil-based technologies and half from hydro.

NATIONAL HOUSING CORPORATION THROWS ITS WEIGHT BEHIND KAWE SATELLITE CITY DEVELOPMENT

National Housing Corporation Director General, Nehemiah Kyando Mchechu.

The state-owned real estate developer, National Housing Corporation (NHC), is envisioning to develop the proposed $2.2 billion dollars (about 4.9trl/-) Kawe Satellite City into an eventful central business district, initially slated to operate for 20 hours a day.

“At present the existing CBD in downtown Dar es Salaam operates for just eight to ten hours – even though the country’s commercial capital contributes almost 60 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – hence the need to create another vibrant business district to boost the economy.

“Through public-private partnership between NHC and private real estate developers we envisage to fully accomplish this mega project in the next 10 to 15 years,” the Director General of National Housing Corporation (NHC), Mr Nehemiah Mchechu, has stated.

According to Mr Mchechu, the current master plan for the central business district in Dar es Salaam’s inner city does not provide necessities for a modern city with ever increasing population growth.

The envisaged satellite city in Kawe will involve over 500 buildings. “It’s our vision to have a relevant satellite city with provisions for at least the next 50 years,” Mr Mchechu said during a briefing session with local councillors from Kinondoni Municipality who were on a familiarization tour of NHC projects in Dar es Salaam.

NEW BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM EARNS DAR ES SALAAM 2018 SUSTAINABLE TRANSIT AWARD

The first phase of a new bus-rapid transit system in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, serves 160,000 passengers a day.

SANTIAGO, Chile — One year after Dar es Salaam became East Africa’s first city to implement a bus-rapid transit system, the Tanzanian capital has been awarded a major transportation prize.

The winner of this year’s Sustainable Transport Award was announced today at a ceremony here during a conference called Mobilize. The award is given annually by the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy, a global non-profit advocacy organization and host of the conference. As the winning city, Dar es Salaam will also host world transportation experts for next year’s Mobilize conference.

Dar es Salaam, a city of five million, is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, a major economic hub in East Africa and a major port city on the Indian Ocean. With support from the World Bank, city officials launched the local bus-rapid transit system, known as DART, in May 2016.

Bus-rapid transit, or BRT, is a form of mass transit that uses buses to move passengers in a fashion similar to metro or light-rail systems. They often feature dedicated lanes so that buses don’t get stuck in traffic, as well as stations where passengers can pay their fare before getting on board.

Dar’s first phase of BRT spans 21 km (13 miles) of trunk route and serves an average of 160,000 passengers per day with a fleet of 140 buses. By the middle of next year, when the first phase becomes fully operational with over 300 buses, the system is projected to carry an estimated 400,000 passengers per day.

JINSI YA KUTUMIA UBER VIZURI - MAELEKEZO YA SAFARI YAKO NYINGINE YA UBER

Dar es Salaam, 6, Julai 2017 - Uber imejitolea kutoa huduma ambayo ni rahisi na nzuri kwa abiria na madereva. Sehemu ya kuunda uzoefu huu rahisi ni kutoa maelekezo kuhusu jinsi madereva na abiria wanapaswa kufanya na kutendeana safarini. Hiyo ndiyo maana Uber imetoa Maelekezo yao yaliyosasishwa ya Jamii, mwongozo huu sio tu wa 'jinsi ya' kwa madereva washiriki wa Uber, bali pia kwa abiria wa Uber.

Hii ndio mara ya kwanza Uber imechapisha sera inayoelezea ni kwa nini abiria wanaweza kupoteza uwezo wao wa kupata Uber. Hii ni muhimu kwa sababu wakati madereva wanatumia Uber wanafanya zaidi ya kuendesha gari tu: wanashiriki gari, nafasi na muda wao na abiria. Na ijapokuwa abiria wengi wanawaonyesha madereva heshima, kwa bahati mbaya sio kila wakati.

Maelekezo yaliyosasishwa ya Jamii ya Uber husaidia kuelezea ni nini Kisichokubalika kwenye safari ya Uber. Nyingi kati ya hizi ni mambo ya kawaida kwa wengi wetu lakini yanapaswa kuzingatiwa - iwe ni kutapika kwenye kiti cha nyuma au kuacha takataka ndani ya gari, orodha iliyo hapa chini ya maelekezo ni moja ambayo kila mtu anayetumia Uber anapaswa kuelewa - madereva na abiria na hata pia wale wanaosafiri pamoja na abiria / marafiki wengine.

Lazima watoto waangaliwe.

Wale walio chini ya umri wa miaka 18 wanaweza kutumia Uber wakisimamiwa na mtu mzima, lakini hawawezi kuwa wenyewe na akaunti ya Uber. Wazazi au walezi wanapaswa kuwa na watoto wao kila wakati.

Kwenda mbele, ikiwa Uber itagundua kwamba mtoto asiyekuwa na mzazi ni mmiliki wa akaunti, akaunti hiyo italemazwa mara moja. Kama Uber itagundua kwamba abiria ana umri wa chini ya miaka 18 lakini mmiliki wa akaunti ni mtu mwingine ambaye amezidisha umri wa miaka 18, Uber itamkumbusha mmiliki wa akaunti hiyo kuhusu sera ya Uber na kulemaza wasifu wake baada ya onyo la pili.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP APPROVES HISTORIC AGREEMENT WITH EUROPEAN COMMISSION

FINANCE FIRMS FITTING 'KILL SWITCHES' TO IMMOBILISE CUSTOMERS' CARS IF THEY MISS A PAYMENT

Customers with poor credit ratings are given GPS devices by lenders, which then remotely disable their cars if they miss debt deadlines
Car finance firms are fitting controversial kill switches that immobilise customers' vehicles if they miss payments.

Drivers with poor credit ratings are being offered the GPS devicesby lenders, who can then remotely disable cars if motorists fail to meet debt deadlines.

But some lawyers and finance experts have voiced concerns about the technology, which they warn could leave drivers stranded and raise data-protection issues.

Under typical arrangements, firms specialising in sub-prime lending install "black boxes" behind the dashboard of customers' cars.

When a driver makes their monthly payment, they receive a code to enter into the device by remote control to keep their car running. If they miss a payment they will not receive a code and the car will be immobilised.
