Anti-erosion works of the PURUK project give hope to residents in Kananga

The anti-erosion works in Kananga, launched in January 2026 and funded by the World Bank with $100 million, show significant progress. The filling of ravines is helping to unblock neighborhoods and secure essential infrastructures, such as the Mukoleshi 2 primary school. Residents, like Lorata Kayembe, express relief at the improvement in their daily lives. However, civil society calls for an acceleration of efforts in light of the scale of the challenge.
