Last week we signed a new phase 8 of an agreement to deliver rural communications services in partnership with The Universal Communications Service Access Fund (UCSAF)

The event was witnessed by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania Samia Suluhu Hassan with various heads of state and signed by our Tigo’s Managing Director, Kamal Okba. 
“In this 8th phase, we are leading by taking 33% of all wards in Tanzania that will benefit from this phase. And also we have been awarded a total of 371 wards where we will upgrade or build a total of 409 sites” Sylvia Balwire - Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer

These new sites will be deployed using 2G, 3G, and 4G technology. These further cements our commitment to supporting the government’s agenda of increasing broadband penetration to 80% by 2025; we aim to include every Tanzanian in financial and digital services as we are offering the cheapest smartphones whereby Tigo’s customers can now pay only 1000 Tsh/day.
