The PEJAB, a Congolese government program to fight against poverty, is launching a call for applications to recruit idea and business incubators in the agricultural sector. The objective is to support the promoters of innovative projects with high potential in order to revitalize the agricultural sector and increase food production in the country.
The program will provide incubators and accommodation centers to enable them to work in an environment conducive to their professional development. The PEJAB, through this initiative, wishes to offer a chance to all project leaders who have an innovative idea, to embark on the entrepreneurial adventure.
Indeed, the Democratic Republic of Congo faces many challenges related to economic development, and in particular insufficient food production to meet the needs of the population. The agricultural sector is therefore a key sector to get out of this situation. Thus, supporting agricultural entrepreneurship will not only create jobs and improve the living conditions of rural populations, but also develop the national economy as a whole.
The PEJAB therefore invites young entrepreneurs, students, researchers and all people with innovative ideas in the agricultural sector to apply and join this entrepreneurial adventure. It should be noted that this initiative is in line with the reforms undertaken by the Congolese government to improve the economic attractiveness of the country and promote local entrepreneurship.
