Democratic Republic of Congo - Project to Develop the Tshikapa-Kamuesha Section of the Tshikapa-Mbuji Mayi Road and Rehabilitate Related Rural Infrastructure

The project is in line with the interventions that the African Development Bank Group has been making on the same road since 2011 and the support of other donors in the context of the gradual development of the national road 1 (RN1). The section funded under this support is 87 km long and is developing between Tshikapa, Kassala, Biakabomba, Kakumba, Katalaye, and Kamuesha. It constitutes the continuity of the section between the Lovua bridge and Tshikapa, including the bridge over the Kasai River. The road works consist of the construction of the road crossing the city of Tshikapa and large villages such as Kakumba and Kamuesha. The improvements will focus on the rehabilitation of agricultural roads and marketing infrastructure, the rehabilitation and development of the production facility, capacity building and the promotion of community structures.
