The project focuses on leveraging the rapid urban growth and economic activity in Dar es Salaam by establishing a network of strategically located outdoor billboards. The initiative aims to enhance brand visibility for local and international businesses while generating consistent revenue streams.

 The proposal involves constructing ten large static billboards (12m x 10m) in high-traffic areas, including city centers, highways, shopping districts, industrial zones, and airport approaches. With an estimated investment of $254,000, the funds will cover construction, land leases, and operational costs. The billboards are expected to generate significant revenue from advertising fees through long-term contracts, seasonal campaigns, and exclusive ad spots, providing a sustainable and profitable return on investment. This project aims to capitalize on the high demand for outdoor advertising in one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, offering businesses impactful visibility and reach.

Economic Impacts:

This project will stimulate economic growth by creating a steady stream of advertising revenue, benefiting local and international businesses seeking effective marketing solutions. It will generate employment opportunities during the construction and operational phases, from billboard installation crews to maintenance staff and marketing professionals. Additionally, the increased visibility of businesses using the billboards can drive consumer spending, bolster sales, and contribute to the local economy’s vibrancy.

Socio-Economic Impacts:

The strategically located billboards will enhance community awareness of local services, events, and public information campaigns, benefiting residents. The increased advertising space can also provide opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to promote their offerings affordably, fostering entrepreneurship and supporting local businesses. By generating income for the involved stakeholders, the project contributes to improved livelihoods and socio-economic resilience in the region.

Environmental Impacts:

The project promotes sustainable practices by incorporating durable materials and energy-efficient lighting for the billboards, reducing long-term resource use. Strategically placed billboards in urban areas minimize the need for excessive construction in environmentally sensitive zones. 

Furthermore, the advertising spaces can support public campaigns on environmental awareness, encouraging eco-friendly behaviours such as waste reduction, conservation, and sustainable transportation within the community of Tanzania.
