Lacking financial resources and adequate services, the government supports them with the help of external partners.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t In June 2023, the French Development Agency (AFD) announced the relaunch of projects it will finance in the Republic of Congo. 150 billion FCFA have already been mobilized for this purpose. The first project concerns rainwater drainage in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, with a view to improving their resilience to the flooding they have suffered in recent years. The Congolese government is strongly committed to carrying out major infrastructure works already in place. Indeed, entire neighborhoods lack rainwater drainage systems. The city of Brazzaville, for example, is crossed by natural collectors, such as the Tsi\u00e9m\u00e9 River, the Madoukou and Mfoa streams. However, no adequate public sanitation system properly ensures the evacuation of rainwater. The second project focuses on the resilience of the cities of Owando and Nkayi, the first phase of which has been completed. The work to be carried out involves the rehabilitation and extension of collection and rainwater management systems, as well as the fight against water erosion in these two towns.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t The development of the Tsi\u00e9m\u00e9 River, in the 6th district of Brazzaville, Talangai, is also among the projects financed by the AFD. Funds for its implementation in order to improve the living conditions of the riverside population are already available, and only Congo's share related to expropriation remains.<\/span><\/p>\n France supports storm drainage and sanitation projects in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, which directly benefit more than 500,000 people. Japan will also contribute to the sanitation of\u00a0<\/p>\n Pointe-Noire with a donation of road equipment corresponding to 830 million FCFA.<\/p>\n Another priority for Congo remains the completion of the sanitation work at the Brazzaville University Hospital, financed under the C2D mechanism of Congo\/France cooperation.<\/p>\n Finally, in response to the unsanitary conditions, the "Brazzaville without waste" campaign has been launched. This sanitation campaign is being implemented in the Congolese capital by the Circle of Elites in Travel, Tourism and the Environment (CEVTE) and the citizen initiative Good Deeds Days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
