Tanzania is in talks with Chinese, Indian and Israeli companies to provide water services in partnership with the government after a previous attempt at privatization failed, the Water Ministry said.
China Machinery Engineering Corp. signed a memorandum of understanding with the state for water-supply and sewage projects worth about $500 million in the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, and the northern city of Arusha, said Yohana Monjesa, director of urban water supply. Discussions have also been held with Wapcos Ltd. and Overseas Infrastructure Alliance Ltd. of India and other companies, he said.
