MONUSCO funds construction of a market in Mayi-Moya to support the local economy and strengthen cohesion

MONUSCO has launched construction of a market in Mayi-Moya, in Beni territory, about 35 kilometres from the city of Beni. The quick-impact project is funded with $49,000 and will include two market sheds, a management office and latrines adapted for people with disabilities. Patrick Musuabo said the market will make basic necessities more accessible, while Pascal Acumavu said it will improve the sale of local products currently left exposed to the weather and help foster peace and coexistence among communities.
