It is expected that invitations for bid will be made on 11 June, 2023.
The contracted work is to be funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), which provided a €70 million concessional loan in May 2020 to improve water supply and sanitation for the residents of Morogoro municipality. In Morogoro, about 70 per cent of the population is connected to the drinking water network with an average of about 10 hours of water distribution per day, and less than 5 per cent is connected to the sewerage network.

The programme aims to ensure sustainable access to quality water to 90 per cent of the population by 2025 and reduce water losses by 10 per cent through the tripling of the drinking water production capacity of the existing Mafiga water treatment plant and the renovation and extension of storage and distribution network infrastructures, as well as guarantee the sustainability of water resources, including through the raising of the Mindu dam, which provides 70 per cent of the water consumed in the city.
