The Tanzanian government is set to advertise a tender for construction of the Standard Gauge Railway earlier in December this year, the Minister for Works, Transport and Communications Makame Mbarawa said.
The minister called on local construction firms to form joint ventures to win the tender, adding that 1 trillion shilling (411 million euros) have been set aside for the tender.
The railway would link Tanzania and the landlocked East African countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
The project will be implemented in four phases. The first phase will start from Morogoro to Tabora, connecting to Isaka.
