Fatshimetrie, the international news magazine, sheds light on the recent developments in South Kivu following the intervention of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) through the Local Development Program of 145 Territories (PDL 145T).
In a significant move, UNDP officially handed over thirty-one crucial infrastructures, including schools, health centers, and administrative buildings, to the provincial government of South Kivu. These constructions, part of the PDL 145T initiative, signify a significant advancement for the region.
During a formal event in Chirunga, located in the Kabare territory, the interim governor of South Kivu presided over the inauguration of these vital infrastructures for the local community. Aïda Cissé, the Deputy Resident Representative of UNDP in the DRC, reaffirmed the organization’s unwavering commitment to sustainable development in collaboration with the Congolese government.
Speaking at the ceremony, Aïda Cissé highlighted the progress made, stating, “For the province of South Kivu, we had a total of 93 infrastructures to finalize, and to date, we have already completed 17 primary schools, 10 health centers, and 4 administrative buildings.” This announcement underscores UNDP’s tangible dedication to enhancing the living standards of local populations.
The newly established schools and health centers are equipped to provide free basic education and maternal healthcare, laying the foundation for a brighter future for the province of South Kivu. Marc Malago, the interim governor, expressed his contentment with the positive impact of these new facilities: “The presence of health centers, public schools, and administrative buildings will revolutionize education and transform the prospects of these children.”
The administrative building in the Kabare territory stands out with its 16 offices and a meeting room equipped with a solar panel-powered electrical system. This initiative not only enhances the efficiency of administrative services but also promotes the use of renewable energy in the region.
In conclusion, UNDP’s investment in South Kivu underscores the significance of international cooperation in fostering sustainable development and enhancing the living conditions of local communities. These new infrastructures represent a substantial step towards a promising future for the province of South Kivu, serving as an inspiring example of collaborative efforts for positive change.
