Rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis in the territory of Djugu (Ituri)
In a context where the development of road infrastructure is essential to open up regions and promote the local economy, the rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis in the territory of Djugu (Ituri) is encouraging news. Under the supervision of the head of the Walendu Tatsi sector, Joel Mande, this project carried out by the Umoja gold Ituri Cooperative aims to be a real development lever for the region.
Beyond its practical aspect, this road rehabilitation has an important security, economic and community dimension. Indeed, by promoting connectivity between different entities, such as the Bedu-Ezekere, Penyi, Jili and Tambaki groups, in the Bahema North chiefdom, this road helps strengthen cohesion between communities and facilitate trade. Food products, such as cassava flour and potatoes, can now be transported more easily to the town of Bunia, thus contributing to the local economy.
The head of the Walendu Tatsi sector insists on the importance of collaboration between local communities and the cooperative in charge of the work. This road rehabilitation can only be a success if all stakeholders work together and commit to supporting this development project.
However, a shadow remains in this promising landscape. Joel Mande calls on armed groups present in the region to cease their disruptive actions and promote the construction of a peaceful and prosperous community. Because ultimately, the development of a community requires solid infrastructure such as roads, which promote access to health care, education and economic opportunities.
This rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis in the territory of Djugu (Ituri) demonstrates the importance of investments in infrastructure for the development of landlocked regions. Hopefully this project serves as an example and encourages other similar initiatives in other regions of the country, thus contributing to the improvement of the living conditions of local populations and the consolidation of peace. The road is undoubtedly one of the pillars of the development of a community and it is essential to invest in its improvement to stimulate the economy and promote the development of all.
