Dar es Salaam. The government has announced plans to construct more than nine dams along the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) corridor in a bid to control recurring floods and strengthen climate resilience in vulnerable parts of the country.
Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba said the projects will start in Morogoro, Mpwapwa and Dodoma, areas that have repeatedly experienced flooding and environmental degradation in recent years.
“As I speak, funds for the construction are already available and the works will begin immediately,” he said.
