In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Government is launching work on the construction of the Katende power plant, which is expected to provide electricity to the Kasai provinces in the central part of the country. Abandoned for 9 years because of lack of resources, the project that initially relied on external aid and foreign loans, is now being carried out by the government, which is waiting for the results in two years.
