To transport goods to Arusha and surrounds in northern Tanzania, vehicles currently must pass through the Namanga border. This route is considerably longer than the Taveta/Holili route. Operationalising the Taveta/Holili border is expected to increase with the construction of a new Voi-Arusha road passing through the two border points, stretching the capacity of the current infrastructure and operations and increase waiting time for import and export processing. Increased delays create costs for traders.
A one stop border post is being constructed at Taveta/Holili border points
TMA is providing funding for the construction of the OSBP and is supporting the lead agencies to implement the project on time and ensure quality.
