Abstract

This project is aimed at assisting the Local Government Infrastructure and Transportation Research Centre (LoGITReC) in Tanzania to achieve its objective of capacity building and skills development for its staff.

This report focuses on Task 3 of the project, covering aspects related to status of existing equipment and the procurement of additional equipment. New and additional equipment will enable CMRL to be fully functional and be able to satisfy the basic requirements of PO-RALG and LoGITReC, in terms of road materials testing. A priority list for additional equipment was developed and submitted for procurement. Guidance is also provided to implement proper calibration, verification and checks to ensure functionality of equipment. The assessment in this report is limited to existing equipment.

This project is funded by DFID under the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
