The construction of basic infrastructure at the demonstration centre was completed in November 2007. Then, in 2008, the project transitioned to a technical cooperation arrangement.

The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Aid Management Platform (AMP) records a 2014 commitment value of $1,140,985.91 from the Chinese Embassy for Phase V of the Rain-fed Crop Demonstration Center Project [French project name: Coopération technique du projet de vulgarisation des cultures pluviales à N'sele (5ème phase)]. As of July 2019, the final amount disbursed for this phase was $640,368.85.
