The Democratic Republic of the Congo recently received significant support from South Africa as part of its 145-territory local development program. During the economic forum held in Kinshasa, the South African company GUMA Africa donated 300 agricultural machines to the DRC. This donation aims to support the country’s efforts to reduce spatial inequalities and transform the living conditions of rural populations.
This gesture of solidarity is part of the work of the large joint commission between the DRC and South Africa. In addition to these 300 agricultural machines, GUMA Africa also plans to send another 5,900 construction machines for the rehabilitation and construction of roads in the DRC. This contribution in essential equipment will improve the country’s agriculture and infrastructure, thus helping to stimulate economic and social development.
The Local Development Program for 145 Territories (PDL-145T) is a Congolese government initiative launched to meet the needs of populations living in rural areas that are poorly served by basic infrastructure and social services. By providing agricultural machinery, GUMA Africa will enable local communities to strengthen their agricultural production and improve their living conditions.
This collaboration between the DRC and South Africa testifies to the importance of solidarity and cooperation between African countries. By supporting the development of its neighbour, South Africa highlights the importance of strengthening ties and working together for the development of the entire continent. This initiative also helps to strengthen relations between the two countries and promote regional economic integration.
In conclusion, the donation of 300 agricultural machines from GUMA Africa to the DRC as part of the Local Development Program of 145 territories is encouraging news for the development of the country. This contribution will make it possible to improve agriculture and infrastructure in the DRC, thus helping to reduce spatial inequalities and improve the living conditions of rural populations. This cooperation between the DRC and South Africa underlines the importance of solidarity and collaboration between African countries to stimulate the economic and social development of the continent.
