Message from President Félix Tshisekedi
President of the Democratic Republic of Congo
The "Clean Cities" Presidential Initiative aims to create 50,000 jobs per million tons of waste, with Kinshasa as the pilot city. This transformative approach will serve as a model for sustainable urban development across Africa.

Presidential Vision for Urban Sanitation
We have identified urban sanitation as a niche for job creation and restoring national pride. I will ensure the adoption of a national solid waste management policy that promotes entrepreneurship and job creation. I will closely follow the launch of this program in Kinshasa.
