Project narrative

On August 4, 2006, the Chinese ambassador to DRC, Fan Zhenshui, went to N'sele to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Rain-fed Crop Demonstration Centre (also referred to as Upland Crops) (French project name: Projet de Vulgarisation Des Cultures Pluviales à Kinshasa/N'sele). The construction of basic infrastructure at the demonstration center was completed in November 2007. Then, in 2008, the project transitioned to a technical cooperation arrangement. The first phase of the technical cooperation was carried out from August 2009 to August 2010 by Shandong International Economic and Technological Cooperation Company. The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Aid Management Platform (AMP) records a 2009 commitment value of $364,701.57 from the Chinese Embassy for work to bring water and electricity to the site and leveling the land for the rain-fed extension project (French project title: Travaux d'amener l'eau et l'électricité au chantier et le nivellement du terrain pour le projet de vulgarisation des cultures pluviales à Kinshasa/N'sele). In 2009, 364,152.212 USD was disbursed, and a total of $364,568.08 was eventually disbursed as of July 2019. There have been five known phases of design for the rain-fed extension project: Phase I: $3,420,254 (recorded in Record ID#58963) Phase II: $1,485,974 (recorded in Record ID#58964) Phase III: $673,453 (recorded in Record ID#58965) Phase IV: $353,039 (recorded in Record ID#58966) Phase V: $1,140,985 (recorded in Record ID#58967) There is additional financing for the 2nd and 3rd technical cooperation phase: Phases II & III: $8,535,963 (recorded in Record ID#58968).
