Water and Electricity

Water and electricity constitute needs as well for the human life as for the economic life.

Indeed, the access to pure water and electricity takes part in the improvement of the living conditions of the populations; it appears among the criteria being used to measure the level of human development of a community.

In addition, water and electricity condition the economic activity. They allow, indeed, to the factories and various machines to operate and produce. Thus they constitute one of the important components of the climate of investment.

In spite of enormous energy potentialities that the Democratic Republic of Congo abounds, a good fringe of its population does not have access to drinking water and electricity, especially inside the country. Whole generations live in the most total darkness. In the great urban centres just only inopportune cuts of electrical energy. Only, a small fraction of the rural population estimated at 17% only has access to drinking water; while for electricity, accessibility is lower than 1%.
To have water and electricity will not have to be a dream any more because the government will consent a lot of efforts to make two energies vital to life of the man accessible to all Congolese. It is necessary to remind that the chief town of the province of Maniema; the town of Kindu is already electrified forty six years after the accession of our country to independence.

 The Head of the State intends to encourage the increase of the national energy production as well as water and electricity on the whole of the national territory, but also the extension of the fields of production of hydrocarbons in the coastal basin, the central basin and the Graben.
