Administrative Structure

The Bilateral Agreement relating to the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, made between the two Governments on 29 th September 1993, forms the basis and foundation of the existence of TAZARA. This Agreement is given effect by the TAZARA Act, which provides for the governance of the Authority, the nature of business transactions and other matters related to the provision of services by the railway. The two Governments of the United Republic of Tanzania and the Republic of Zambia hold the shares of TAZARA on a joint and equal basis. TAZARA operates as a statutory body established by the National Legislatures of both Tanzania and Zambia, through the TAZARA Act of1975, amended by the TAZARA Act of 1995. The governance structure, as provided for by the TAZARA Act, comprises a Council of Ministers, Board of Directors and Management.

Management

The Managing Director is the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority and, subject to the control of the Board, is responsible for the administration of the affairs of the Authority. The Deputy Managing Director assists the Managing Director in the day-to-day administration of the Authority. The TAZARA Act stipulates that the Managing Director shall be appointed from Zambia while the Deputy Managing Director shall be appointed from Tanzania. The railway is divided into two regions for administrative convenience, i.e. the Tanzania Region and the Zambia Region, with the national boundary forming the separation between the two regions as well. However, this separation is only for administrative convenience as the railway is a unitary organization with uniform standards. The Regional General Managers, who head the regions, are appointed by the Board of Directors, but supervised and controlled by the Managing Director.
