On 11 November 2026, Hon. Masanja Kungu Kadogosa (MP), Minister for Works of the United Republic of Tanzania, held bilateral discussions with Hon. FCPA John Mbadi Ng’ongo, Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning of the Republic of Kenya, on the margins of the 16th Africa PPP Infrastructure Finance, Investment and Partnerships Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
The discussions focused on strengthening Tanzania and Kenya cooperation in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), with particular emphasis on exchanging knowledge and best practices in mobilising sustainable, innovative and long-term financing for infrastructure development.
Hon. Kadogosa highlighted Tanzania’s ongoing efforts to finance strategic infrastructure projects through road and railway levies, while underscoring the need to explore additional and sustainable financing mechanisms to bridge existing infrastructure financing gaps.
On his part, CS John Mbadi shared Kenya’s experience in advancing PPPs, expanding institutional investor participation, particularly pension funds, and establishing the Kenya National Infrastructure Fund as an innovative mechanism for mobilising and leveraging capital for commercially viable infrastructure projects.
Hon. Kadogosa commended Kenya’s initiatives and emphasised the importance of continued technical cooperation to enable Tanzania to draw lessons from Kenya’s experience and explore adaptable models for strengthening its own infrastructure financing framework.
