The largest crop commodity market was up for an important upgrade to formal infrastructure as the road on which it is located is being upgraded to tarmac.
Representing Enabel, I worked with the market committee and the district council to optimize the existing land use plan within the limits of the Tanzanian governance context. We then decided on a modular design that can be finished gradually and adapt as the market attracts more traders, rather than a finished product that might be empty for years to come.
Prefabricated steel structural elements were chosen and can be finished with partitionings tailored to the shifting needs of the market.
I managed the public tender process from inception to handover of the finished steel market sheds.
The district council has already reserved budget to furnish 2 of the open sheds as closed warehouses which will kickstart the market operations.
