Tanzania and Uganda signed another agreement for the construction of a pipeline, this time for a natural gas pipeline. The multimillion dollar deal was signed at the end of a three-day Joint Permanent Commission Summit in Kampala, led by Tanzania’s Foreign Minister Augustine Mahiga and Uganda’s Minister for Energy Irene Muloni.
The signing of the natural gas pipeline agreement was the culmination of work that began during the first Tanzania-Uganda meeting held in April 2017, in which the two agreed on a number of memoranda and cooperation frameworks.
The pipeline comes just 15 months after Dar es Salaam and Kampala agreed to construct a crude oil pipeline from Hoima in Uganda, to Chongoleani in Tanga.
This will be the first trans-border gas pipeline in East Africa since the extraction of natural gas commenced in 2004 at the Songo Songo Island in Tanzania.
