In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the fisheries sector is a key pillar of the national economy, contributing to food security, job creation and economic diversification. Recently, the Government has taken important measures to strengthen the management of fishing boats commissioned by the State, thus demonstrating its desire to promote this strategic sector.
Following the injunction of the Head of State, the government has committed to strengthening the administrative and financial skills of the National Service responsible for the management of commissioned fishing boats. This translates into the imperative to support ONPA to ensure optimal management of these boats, the delivery of which is imminent. It is therefore essential to provide this establishment with the necessary resources to ensure its operation and its administrative and financial autonomy.
Furthermore, as part of the development of the Greater Kasai region, the Head of State stressed the urgency of finalizing road construction sites related to agricultural activity. The construction of interprovincial agricultural service roads is crucial to facilitate the evacuation of products to processing and packaging centers. These infrastructures play a vital role in the country’s food security, by promoting access to markets and stimulating the local economy.
It is important to emphasize that investment in the fisheries and agriculture sectors contributes directly to improving the purchasing power of citizens, creating jobs and reducing poverty. In addition, the development of these sectors allows for better valorization of the country’s natural resources and promotes long-term economic growth.
In conclusion, the efficient management of fishing boats and the development of road infrastructure for the agricultural sector are crucial steps to ensure the prosperity and sustainable development of the Democratic Republic of Congo. These initiatives demonstrate the Government’s commitment to strengthening key sectors of the economy and promoting inclusive and sustainable development for the entire population.
