Promotion of Mini- and Micro-Hydropower Plants in DRC Project Document United Nations Development Programme Democratic Republic of Congo Project Title: Promotion of mini- and micro-hydropower plants in DRC Axis 4: Sustainable Natural Resources Management & Climate Change UNDAF Outcome 5: The Congolese State improves the management of its natural resources Outcome: (mining, energy, biodiversity and land) and the associated benefits, the management mechanisms, and the country is engaged towards the greening of its economy Outcome SP1: Growth and development are inclusive and sustainable, incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods for the poor and UNDP excluded Strategic Plan Output 5.1: Inclusive and sustainable solutions adopted to achieve increased energy (2014-2017): efficiency and universal modern energy access (especially off-grid sources of renewable energy 2.1: Policies and Programmes are better oriented at national and provincial levels and CPAP Outputs values chains are developed to create jobs; 3.2: DRC is engages into a green economy Ministry of Energy and Hydraulic Resources (Ministère de l’Energie et des Implementing Ressources Hydrauliques/MERH) Partners: Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (Ministère de l’Environnement et du Développement Durable/MEDD) Brief Description of the Project The overall goal of the project is to support the Government’s strategy to mitigate climate change and to go towards a green economy and to contribute to the development of electricity generation in off-grid areas in DRC, with the implementation of small scale hydropower systems. The project will participate to DRC’s engagement in the initiative “Sustainable Energy for All” (SE4ALL) and in providing energy services in villages. The project interventions are articulated around four key issues. The first intervention concerns the development of policies and the strengthening of the regulatory and institutional framework to promote private and community-based investment in the development and operation of small-scale hydropower systems. It includes identifying legal and political barriers to the development of micro- and mini-hydropower plants; participating to the necessary corrective actions (policies, strategies & regulations) and ensuring their implementation; helping the energy sector to develop a legal, regulatory and institutional framework specific to micro- and mini-hydropower; and assisting the industry to develop a pricing system that allows to guarantee power supply in rural areas in the long-term. The objective of the second intervention is to create a critical mass in terms of skills and expertise targeting the technological supply chain. It will strengthen the technical capacity at national, provincial and community levels, and across the hydropower technology supply chain, by identifying and overcoming the barriers to the development of mini- and micro-hydropower plants (MHPP) in DRC. This will require assisting local manufacturers of MHPP-related equipments such as turbines; supporting local community initiatives and existing MHPP operators in rural areas; supporting the new private investors in developing solid business plans to raise additional financing; providing technical courses for the training of targeted practitioners (technicians and others) and assist in the acquisition of technical equipment necessary for learning and internships to support the development of the hydropower sector. The third intervention will focus on several targeted investments as pilot projects within a wider selection of potential small-scale hydropower stations in rural communities. The project will hence support the development in rural areas of numerous MHPP for a total installed capacity of 10 MW by 2017. It will identify the sites following the basic information contained in the existing literature (diagnosis and the Renewable Energy Atlas) taking into account that the identified sites are viable (socially, economically and environmentally speaking). The project will facilitate the mobilization of co-financing necessary for the development of the selected sites. With this intervention, the project will generate incomes and activities such as agricultural and other processing for local entrepreneurs, etc. Finally, it will assist the country to develop strong partnerships with the private sector in the development of tangible MHPP projects in rural and peri-urban areas. The fourth intervention is transversal. It is dedicated to communication, public relations and marketing activities for the mobilization of public and private investment dedicated to the development of additional MHPP, to reach an installed capacity of 100 MW in rural areas by 2020. Gaps will be filled in, in terms of information dissemination (communication strategy that highlights the national policy and the economic incentives, technology standards, potential sources of funding, existing capabilities and those under development, etc.). It will underpin the development of tools that guide investment, and assist the energy sector to manage various risks. Synergies with other projects will be made possible under this intervention, and best practices and lessons learned will be shared through communication tools, with other countries and partners.

  • Political Parties in the Re Public of the Congo
    1 Daniel P. BIEBUYCK POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (LEOPOLDVILLE) Series of Sponsored Lectures Given at the University of Delaware in 1962 Introduction In the period between 1945 and 1955, when gradually a series of more or less timid steps towards social integration, removal of legislative racial discrimination, freedom of association, Congolese participation in the consultative councils, etc. were made, nobody seemed to think that emancipation in the Congo would ever follow a rapid pace. Numerous associations, with varied aims and functions, in the context of which new claimant leadership developed, sprang up everywhere, but political opinions and claims did not come into the open until 1956, when successively the “Conscience Africaine” manifesto (30 June) and the Counter Manifesto by Abako (23 August) were made public. Although in the Counter Manifesto the claim for immediate initiation of the emancipation process had been made, the rhythm of political growth apparently remained slow. In 1957, the colonial administration introduced a series of fundamental administrative and political reforms relating to the governmental, provincial, and territorial councils, and to the status of cities and native districts (“circonscriptions indigènes”). In December 1957, municipal elections were organized in the three major cities (Leopoldville, Elisabethville, Jadotville); they revealed, in general, the importance of tribally oriented movements, and in particular, the overwhelming influence and strength of the well- organized Abako party in Leopoldville (133 seats in 170). Organized political activity began in 1958. Several parties, such as M.N.C., Cerea, P.N.C. (to become M.P.N.C. in 1959), Upeco, were founded.

PREFA CE All the emergent states of Africa have to figh t the push and pull of tribal politics, if they are to survive as unitary states. This is not surprising. The boundaries of the large colonies and protectorates which were drawn by European powers put very arbitrary lines round peoples of different languages and cultures, and many of these had long traditions of mutual hostility or of dominance by one tribe and subjection by another. There are, for instance, 200 distinct peoples in the Congo. Three of these are dominant groups with memories of ancient grandeur- the Ba-Kongo, Ba-Luba and Ba-Lunda- and the others are small and often scattered tribelets. Seventy-four dialects are said to be recognised and the major language groups differ as much as English and modern Greek. Four "commercial" languages, K i-kongo, Chi-luba, Swahili and Lingala were recognised by the Belgians but the first three were of the lingua franca type and unfitted, Mrs. Douglas thinks, as a medium for political communication. Tribal feeling has not diminished in Africa; in fact, it has often been increased by 11ew economic rivalries. This pamphlet shows. for instance. that the Ba-Luba, widely distributed throughout the southern Congo as drivers, technicians, traders and cash-crop farmers are disliked for their success, and that this dislike has been expressed by the ballot box.

Les Volcans, N° 142 (2)Gouvernement Provincial, Goma, North Kivu, Q. Himbi I , Av. Du Musée, N°256 E-mail: [email protected] Key words: Prospection, magmatic chambers, flank fissures, Nyiragongo volcano ABSTRACT The DRC has a hydroelectric potential estimated at 100,000 MW, spread over 780 sites in 145 territories and 76,000 villages. This potential represents about 37% of Africa's total potential and nearly 6% of the global potential. In addition to this energy, it also has significant potential in renewable energy resources such as geothermal energy, biomass, wind, solar, biogas, biofuel, etc. Unfortunately all these sources of energy are barely exploited especially the great potential of volcanic origin in the region of Virunga. Indeed, the country's electrification rate remains low at 9.6% and the government's vision is to increase the service rate to 32% by 2030. But as the country does not have sufficient financial resources to exploit all these energies and to serve urban and rural areas, an Investment Code and an Electricity Code have been put in place to attract private investors to this sector. Celestin et al 1. Introduction The DRC has an important renewable and non-renewable ressources energy distributed almost throughout the national territory among which we can mention hydropower, solar energy, methane gas, wind energy, geothermal energy, etc.

  • The Democratic Republic of Congo, 1996-2006
    A Realist Perspective on the Regional Significance of State Failure. Case Study: The Democratic Republic of Congo, 1996-2006 By Fabrice Nshimirimana (208509632) Submitted to the College of Humanities, School of Social Sciences, Cluster of International and Public Affairs in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Social Sciences in International Relations Prepared Under the Supervision of Doctor (Dr.) Alison Jones At the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg Republic of South Africa 31 July 2014 Author’s Signature--------------- ------------------------------------ International and Public Affairs 31 July 2014 Certified by -------------------------- ---------------------------- Doctor (Dr.) Alison Rae Jones Senior Lecturer: School of Social Sciences Dissertation’s Supervisor ©2014 University of KwaZulu-Natal All rights reserved Abstract Since the demise of the Cold War, the concept of state failure predominantly has been utilized as a corrective to prevalent approaches designed to promote global peace, development, or humanitarian assistance. These attempts were in accordance with the idealist perspective. However, the events of 11 September in the United States gave rise to the global security concerns. State failure, since then, is no longer regarded as solely located in underdevelopment discourse, but as threat to regional security, and ultimately to global security. The concept of „failed state‟ increasingly is making an impact on security discourse. This dissertation explores the security threats posed by failed states to regional stability viewed from a realist perspective. It elucidates the historical trajectories of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which led it to definitively become a failed state. Although the causes of the Congo‟s failure, seemingly, originate from Belgian colonization and Cold War rivalries, post-independence Congolese political and military elites have maintained and increased its weakness, through secession wars, rebellions, corruption and poor governance.
