The benefits, by virtue of the institutional strengthening achieved, extend to the population of the affected localities, estimated at around 748,000.


The areas of focus concern:

  • Improvement of agricultural-rural roads through the rehabilitation and maintenance of 1,136 km of trails;

  • the multiplication of improved seeds and seedlings for the agricultural sector and the use of genetically selected breeding males for the animal sector;

  • Improving marketing systems between the intervention area and the city of Kinshasa;

  • Institutional strengthening through the activation of a permanent rural animation structure.
