Dar es Salaam. Contractors and construction service providers in Tanzania have proposed seven key measures to cushion the sector against rising fuel prices, warning that escalating costs driven by global geopolitical tensions are threatening the viability of ongoing public infrastructure projects.
The proposals were tabled on June 12, 2026, during an emergency meeting convened by the Tanzania Contractors and Allied Services Association (TUCASA), where industry stakeholders discussed the growing pressure on fixed-price government contracts.
Presenting the resolutions, TUCASA Chairperson Samuel Marwa said the government should first formally recognize the current fuel price surge as a unique economic shock affecting public contracts and infrastructure delivery.
