The African Development Bank has approved over $696 million in financing for a rail project to link Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The project will connect to the existing rail network of Tanzania, providing access to the port of Dar es Salaam to neighbouring countries.
The AfDB said it would also help structure and secure financing of up to $3.2 billion from sources including commercial banks, development finance institutions and institutional investors.
