Airtel Tanzania to boost rural connectivity

12 December 2025

Airtel Tanzania has announced the continuation of its collaboration with the Universal Communication Service Access Fund (UCSAF), marking the signing of Phase 10 of their ongoing partnership.

The agreement aims to further expand communication services in underserved rural areas. The signing ceremony was graced by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Hon. Angellah Jasmine Mbelwa Kairuki, serving as the Guest of Honor.

As part of this new phase, Airtel Tanzania will be responsible for constructing 132 out of the 201 towers planned for deployment across various wards. This effort is part of a broader national initiative encouraging all service providers to improve connectivity in rural regions and narrow the digital divide. The company reaffirmed its dedication to providing high-quality, reliable, and modern communication services to all Tanzanians, ensuring that both urban and rural communities benefit from expanded network coverage.

This milestone not only bolsters Tanzania’s digital infrastructure but also underscores Airtel Tanzania’s leadership role in promoting inclusive connectivity and driving the country’s digital transformation.
