The Mwache Multi-Purpose Dam Project has surpassed 69% completion as of February 2026  and progress is accelerating. Construction is advancing across the main dam, lower check dam, health facility, schools, and police post, bringing full delivery closer each day. The Mwache Multi-Purpose Dam Project has surpassed 69% completion as of February 2026  and progress is accelerating. 


The dam will store and regulate water, while the Intake Tower (right) will control water release, ensuring a reliable supply downstream, supporting irrigation, and protecting communities and ecosystems. Lower check dam (LCD) is over 78% complete. The dam will receive water from the Upper Check Dam, trap sediments, and manage the water flow before the water reaches the main dam.

Rehabilitation of the community roads: Work is underway to restore community roads within the project area, improving accessibility, connecting residents to essential services, and supporting local economic activity.

At Fulugani and Mwache ECDE, classrooms are nearly complete and will soon be handed over to the Ministry of Education a significant milestone for local families and learners.

With works now in an advanced phase, teams are optimizing operations, addressing remaining challenges, and recovering earlier delays to keep the project firmly on schedule.
