Improving the resilience of Kinshasa urban districts in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Sanitation, drainage and resilience

Every day, Kinshasa's population generates around 7,000 tonnes of waste, much of which ends up in rivers and streets due to the lack of a suitable waste management system. This situation promotes the spread of diseases, especially during the rainy season.

To reinforce the urban resilience of the districts of N'danu, Salongo, and Abattoir in Kinshasa, which are exposed to significant flooding and health risks, the French Development Agency (AFD) is financing the TO PETOLA project. This project aims to support civil society in the pre-collection, sorting, and reduction of household waste, maintenance of the river banks, roads, and adjacent drains and assist with adaptation to climate change through better urban governance and the shared management of essential urban services.

Our solution

In partnership with VSI Africa, Seureca is:

  • leading the project management of all contractual and fiduciary aspects by awarding contracts
  • monitoring and coordinating the project on behalf of the contracting authority (increase capacities, emergency works, and structuring works)
  • implementing the environmental and social management plan.
