Congo-Kinshasa: Ituri - Monusco Provides Temporary Work for 1,500 At-Risk Youth, Including Ex-Combatants

press release

As part of its Community Violence Reduction (CVR) projects, MONUSCO has handed over to local authorities two agricultural feeder roads and three bridges located in the villqge groupings of Zadu and Baviba, 60 kilometers from Bunia, the capital of Ituri Province. To build these infrastructures, MONUSCO called on a local workforce of some 1,500 at-risk youth, including ex-combatants and community members.

The first road, located in the villqge prouping of Zadu, is nine kilometers long and links the locality of Kagaba to that of Ngasu Odje. The work included building a new road, placing culverts and building a 45-ton capacity bridge over the Ofi River. This bridge is in addition to the 30-ton capacity Tiniya bridge built on the same stretch of road and inaugurated a few months earlier, again by MONUSCO.
