Title: “A new terminal under construction in Kananga: a step towards the development of the DRC”
Introduction :
The province of Kasaï-Central in the Democratic Republic of Congo is about to benefit from a new key infrastructure to stimulate its development: a brand new air terminal. Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Peter Kazadi recently presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for this ambitious project in Kananga, the provincial capital. The works, which will last nearly two years and cost US$32,594,423 million, will make it possible to respond to population growth and improve passenger safety and comfort. This development is part of the central government’s policy to modernize airport infrastructure across the country.
A major project to boost development
The new terminal, whose construction will be entrusted to the company Modern Construction, will cover an area of 7,600 square meters. The work will be carried out in several stages, with a total duration of 683 days. This airport infrastructure will meet international standards and will offer better security and adequate comfort for passengers. These improvements are essential to support the population growth of the region and promote the economic development of Kasaï-Central and the whole of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The appropriation of the work by the population
Deputy Prime Minister Peter Kazadi stressed the importance of involving the population in this project. He invited the community to take ownership of this achievement launched by the Head of State Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, considering it as a lever for the development of Kasaï-Central and the DRC as a whole. The active participation of the population will help ensure the success of this project and make it a true showcase of the country’s progress and ambition.
Consolidation of airport infrastructure across the country
The construction of the Kananga air terminal is the third stage of a vast development plan for airport infrastructure in the DRC. After Kolwezi in the province of Lualaba and Mbuji-Mayi in Kasaï-Oriental, it is Kananga’s turn to benefit from this modernization. This airport infrastructure consolidation policy aims to strengthen the country’s connectivity and facilitate travel for both national and international travellers. It is part of the central government’s desire to promote the country’s economic and tourist development.
Conclusion :

This modern and efficient infrastructure will help to strengthen the country’s connectivity, facilitate travel and support economic growth. By actively involving the population in this project, the central government gives everyone the opportunity to participate in building a better future for Kasaï-Central and for the whole country
