The Bagamoyo port project, whose implementation has been marred by funding hitches and government flip-flop, could kick off this month, after Tanzania agreed with Chinese and Omani investors on a financing deal that is expected to be signed soon.

If constructed, the $10 billion Bagamoyo port will be East Africa’s largest.
