Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) is striving to reduce pollution levels at the country’s largest port of Dar es Salaam through a long term $345 million expansion and rehabilitation initiative known as Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway Project.

TPA, a government-owned public corporation under the Ministry of Infrastructure Development, with the support of the World Bank and UK’s Department for International Development, has developed climate-smart design for the port’s expansion and improvement programme, which when fully implemented will cushion the port not only against adverse climate change effects but also avert possible rise in the level of the sea.
