According to the Aid Management Platform (AMP) of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Chinese Government committed a $4,737,065.73 grant to the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2012 for the Pilot Center for Agricultural Technology/Agricultural Demonstration Center in N'sele. As of July 2019, $4,857,682.05 had been disbursed for the project. This project involved the construction of a 600,000-square-meter center, which includes basic infrastructures, experimentation and demonstration fields, and irrigation infrastructures. It also involved the provision of equipment and the dispatching of 12 Chinese agricultural experts over a 3 year period. The project was completed by Zonergy, a subsidiary of ZTE. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 12, 2012, and the official handover ceremony was held in N'sele on September 4, 2014. The French project title is Centre pilote des techniques agricoles à N'sele. This project is linked to a feasibility study for the project (see Record ID#58908) and several phases of technical cooperation (see projects #58909 and #58910). This project is completed.
