Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA)

Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA) was established as part of strategic intervention to execute non- policy Government functions related to rural and urban roads network on its behalf.

The Agency started working officially on 1 July 2017 and now the Agency has reached approximately 5 years since its establishment.

The main objective of the establishment of TARURA is to deal with the challenges that arose when the responsibility of the District Road Network Management was under the Local Government Authorities (MSM) 184, but also to deal with changes in the road sector with the intention of improving services and increasing efficiency.

The main responsibility of TARURA is to manage the maintenance, repair and construction of the District Road Network with a total of 144,429.77 Kilometers that were managed by 184 Local Government Authorities and coordinated by the President's Office TAMISEMI under the Department of Infrastructure.
