Lake Tanganyika is seen as an economic gateway of growing significance between Tanzania’s coast and the DRC. Massive investment – much of it Chinese – is being funneled into Tanzania’s sea ports of Bagamoyo, Tanga, Dar es Salaam and Mtwara. The supply chains from Africa’s interior are also developing.
