This report details the reconstruction of Buguruni Market in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, a key food distribution hub serving 70,000 consumers daily. Prior to renovations, the market suffered from poor hygiene, lack of sanitation, and food safety risks.
Key improvements include:
New food vendor infrastructure, including solar-powered lighting and gas cooking systems to reduce firewood dependency.
Sanitation upgrades, adding new toilets, bathrooms, and handwashing stations to improve hygiene.
Sustainability measures, such as solar energy and improved market waste management.
The report emphasizes that market infrastructure development enhances food safety, reduces waste, and improves food access, particularly in low-income urban areas.
