TANZANIA AIRPORTS AUTHORITY
A BRIEF INFORMATION ON THE INVESTORS FORUM

The Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) is a semi-autonomous agency, under the Ministry of Communications and Transport and was launched in December 1999 as part of the Public Sector Reform Programme.

Following its launch, TAA was assigned several functions and some of the critical ones include to operate, manage, maintain and develop government owned airports in a professional and cost effective manner, to provide comfortable, efficient and secure services and facilities for the movement of passengers, aircraft and cargo in its airports, to ensure that airport policies regulations and procedures are implemented in accordance with international standards.

These functions are aimed at making TAA realize its vision, which is to become a model in the provision of airport facilities and services in Eastern Africa by 2010.

In order to adequately implement its functions and achieve its vision, TAA requires joint partnerships with the investing community in order to mobilize resources for undertaking the already identified investment opportunities that will reward all investing partners and the Tanzanian economy as a whole.

In this case therefore, TAA is preparing to convene an Investors Forum in order to reach out to all possible investors with a view to enhancing the development of the airports sub-sector. Very specifically the objectives of that Investors Forum include:

1. To present to the forum investment opportunities in a form of projects and their detailed profiles in order to convince and entice the would be investors to effecting investments,
2. To have an opportunity whereby TAA could bring to the attention of the potential investors the kind, extent and pace of reform processes that are taking place in the airports sub-sector,
3. To demonstrate to the forum participants the existing and reliable investment environment which is attractive to potential investors that guarantees competitive investment returns,
4. To create a framework for the continuous dialogue and understanding with potential investors on how they feel about TAA investment opportunities and ways by which these investments could actually be implemented,
5. To share views with forum participants on how best investments that will be made will contribute the provision of the best airports facilities and services in Eastern Africa by 2010.
