 Background Information

Zanzibar has roughly 1,234 km of main, urban and rural roads. Zanzibar’s Ministry of
Infrastructure and Communications (MOIC) is responsible for construction and maintenance
of road network in Zanzibar.

About 70 percent of the Zanzibar’s roads are located on Unguja Island, which contains the
main urban centre and main port and plays host to a large tourism industry. Although this gives
Unguja one of the most dense road networks in Africa, most of the roads were constructed
after the revolution in 1964 and have not been sufficiently maintained.
 Problem Definition

The condition of the existing road network on Unguja Island reflects a number
of challenges in road maintenance.

• Climate and natural resource conditions

• Insufficient funding for construction and maintenance of roads through

existing mechanisms.
 Problem Definition cont…

• Planning. MOIC is responsible for engineering small roads, reviewing

consultant design work for larger roads, and providing oversight on road
construction projects. However, its Departments of Roads and Planning is
small and has an extremely limited capacity for sustained planning and
execution of routine works.
