The governor of Kasaï Central, Joseph Moïse Kambulu, recently laid the foundation stone for an administrative building in Kananga, marking a significant milestone in the region's agricultural revival. The building, which will serve as the administrative hub for the agricultural sector, is expected to improve working conditions for provincial inspection services. This development is part of the government's efforts to boost agriculture in the region.
The construction of the building is a key component of the third phase of the National Agricultural Development Program (Pnda), which focuses on institutional support. The program aims to enhance agricultural productivity and improve food security in the region. Véronique Baka, coordinator of the Pnda, emphasized the importance of this project, citing the long-standing challenges faced by provincial agricultural inspection services.
The new administrative building will provide a conducive working environment for the inspection services, which have been operating in difficult conditions without adequate offices. The building will feature offices, sanitary facilities, a meeting room, and archives. This development is expected to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural services in the region.
Governor Kambulu expressed his satisfaction with the initiative and emphasized the need to meet the project's deadline of nine months. He praised President Félix Tshisekedi for his efforts to prioritize agriculture over mining and assured the Pnda of the provincial government's support for the project's implementation.
The governor also acknowledged the cooperation between the central government and international partners, including the World Bank, which has been instrumental in supporting agricultural development in the region. The construction of the administrative building is a testament to the government's commitment to revitalizing the agricultural sector in Kasaï Central.
The project is expected to have a positive impact on food security and agricultural development in the region. The new building will provide a central hub for agricultural services, enabling more effective coordination and implementation of agricultural programs. This development is a significant step towards achieving the government's goals for agricultural revival in Kasaï Central.
The project implementation is expected to be completed within nine months, and the building will serve as a symbol of the region's agricultural revival. The project is part of a broader effort to enhance agricultural productivity and improve food security in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
