The Project was originally scheduled to close on September 28, 2023 but was restructured and extended by 17 months and would therefore close on February 28, 2025. It focuses on four priority Protected Areas (PAs) namely the Mikumi National Park (MINAPA), Nyerere National Park (NNP), Ruaha National Park (RUNAPA), and Udzungwa Mountains National Park (UMNP) and is jointly implemented by two main agencies: Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (MNRT) and Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA). Other implementing partners include Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute 6/26/2022 Page 1 of 12 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tanzania: Resilient Natural Resource Management for Tourism and Growth (P150523) (TAWIRI), Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB), Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS), National Irrigation Commission (NIRC), and Rufiji Basin Water Board (RBWB). As part of the project, delivery of heavy plant equipment to Ruaha and Nyerere was completed in October 2021, and under operation for maintenance/rehabilitation of roads and airstrips. These maintenance works have made the roads more usable and enhanced mobility within Ruaha both for tourism and park management purposes. Msembe, Jongomero Airstrips (in Ruaha) and Mtemere Airstrip (in Nyerere) have been rehabilitated to make them more usable. Furthermore, 100 km of tourism circuit at Nomad and Kibambawe Airstrips have been maintained. This has increased accessibility by air to Ruaha and Nyerere especially for tourists.
