The Democratic Republic of Congo recently announced its membership in the Géoportail, an innovative and ambitious initiative aimed at modernizing and making transparent the management of the national territory. This strategic decision, launched by Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka, marks an important step in the use of geospatial technologies to ensure the sustainable and harmonious development of the country.
By implementing this cutting-edge tool, the Congolese government demonstrates its commitment to the prosperity and well-being of citizens. Indeed, the Géoportail will allow for better planning and organization of the territory, by integrating the needs of communities and respecting the natural environment.
The Minister of Territorial Planning, Guy Loando, emphasizes that the Géoportail will respond to current challenges related to territorial planning. Thanks to this system, the Democratic Republic of Congo will be able to set up a national territorial planning plan, thus providing a strategic framework for the organization of activities and populations throughout the territory.
By joining this international initiative, the DRC will benefit from privileged access to crucial geospatial information, which was previously inaccessible or costly. This new approach will enable the DRC to improve its capacity to address major challenges such as climate change, natural disasters and food security.
In conclusion, the Democratic Republic of Congo’s membership in the Géoportail is part of a sustainable development and modernization approach to land management. This progress demonstrates the Congolese government’s desire to work towards a more resilient, transparent and prosperous future for all citizens of the country.
