Project for Urban Transport Master Plan in Kinshasa City / PDTK Final Report: Volume 1 Urban Transport Master Plan in Kinshasa City CHAPTER 5 Vision for Sustainable Spatial Development (Vision 2040) 5.1 Population Growth and Control 5.1.1 Prospect of Population Growth of Kinshasa City The Study refers to the result of the future population growth analysis by the UN (United Nations) Population Division for the estimation of future population (ref. 5.2.4 and 5.2.5). The index of UN statistics reflects the natural population growth ratio and social population growth ratio; It calculates the population of all of DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo) between 1950 and 2100, prepares three variants (Low, Medium and High) for the estimation for the whole country of DRC. The Study takes these indexes as the natural increase population growth ratio for Kinshasa City. Then, the Study examined two scenarios for the assumption of social increase of population in Kinshasa City. As described in 5.2.4, the current annual social population growth ratio of Kinshasa City is considered at about 1%/year, which corresponds to the difference between the annual population growth ratio of the entire DRC and Kinshasa City. Currently, this increasing tendency is considered to be caused by the following issues. Economical differences between Kinshasa City and local cities; Difference of job opportunity and educational opportunity; and Unstable political situation and internally displaced persons. Considering the above mentioned causes of migration, and the fact that the urbanized area of Kinshasa City has expanded and is sprawled, it is doubtful that this trend of migration into Kinshasa City would continue for a long time. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of regional and national development, the government of DRC might need to consider decentralization of the overcrowded capital, relocating commercial and industrial functions to other regions of the country. According to these views, the Study examines two scenarios of population increase of Kinshasa City. One is the constant annual population increase rate of 1.0% from 2017 to 2040 (Scenario A), and the other is gradually decreasing the population increase rate of 1.0% to 0.0% from 2017 to 2040 (Scenario B). Applying these population growth ratios to the current population of Kinshasa City, the Study then evaluates the result. 5-1 Project for Urban Transport Master Plan in Kinshasa City / PDTK Final Report: Volume 1 Urban Transport Master Plan in Kinshasa City Table 5.1.1 Constant Social Population Growth Ratio between 2015-2040, 1.0% Annually Period SOSAK* UN UN UN (Low fertility variant + (Medium fertility variant + (High fertility variant + social growth 1%) social growth 1%) social growth 1%) Whole Socia Total Whole Social Total Whole Social Total DRC l DRC DRC 2013-15 3.00 3.17 1.00 4.17 3.17 1.00 4.17 3.17 1.00 4.17 2015-20 3.00 2.94 1.00 3.94 3.09 1.00 4.09 3.24 1.00 4.24 2020-25 3.00 2.73 1.00 3.73 2.96 1.00 3.96 3.18 1.00 4.18 2025-30 3.00 2.53 1.00 3.53 2.81 1.00 3.81 3.08 1.00 4.08 2030-35 3.00 2.39 1.00 3.39 2.66 1.00 3.66 2.92 1.00 3.92 2035-40 3.00 2.22 1.00 3.22 2.51 1.00 3.51 2.78 1.00 3.78 2040-45 3.00 2.02 1.00 3.02 2.34 1.00 3.34 2.65 1.00 3.65 Source: The Study Team *: Strategic Orientation Scheme for the Kinshasa Metropolitan Area Table 5.1.2 Case of Gradual Decrease of Social Population Growth Ration between 2015-2040 (1.0% Annually in 2015 to 0.0% in 2035) Period SOSAK UN UN UN (Low fertility variant + (Medium fertility variant + (High fertility variant + social social growth 1-> 0%) social growth 1 -> 0%) growth 1 -> 0%) Whole Social Total Whole Social Total Whole Social Total DRC DRC DRC 2013-15 3.00 3.17 1.00 4.17 3.17 1.00 4.17 3.17 1.00 4.17 2015-20 3.00 2.94 1.00~0.75 3.94~3.74 3.09 1.00~0.75 4.09~3.89 3.24 1.00~0.75 4.24~4.04 2020-25 3.00 2.73 0.75~0.50 3.48~3.28 2.96 0.75~0.50 3.71~3.51 3.18 0.75~0.50 3.93~3.73 2025-30 3.00 2.53 0.50~0.25 3.03~2.83 2.81 0.50~0.25 3.31~3.11 3.08 0.50~0.25 3.58~3.38 2030-35 3.00 2.39 0.25~0.00 2.64~2.44 2.66 0.25~0.00 2.91~2.71 2.92 0.25~0.00 3.17~2.97 2035-40 3.00 2.22 0.00 2.22 2.51 0.00 2.51 2.78 0.00 2.78 2040-45 3.00 2.02 0.00 2.02 2.34 0.00 2.34 2.65 0.00 2.65 Source: The Study Team 5.1.2 Verification of Population Growth Result of Different Population Increase The following two tables show the estimated population of the Kinshasa City corresponding to different scenarios.

Even taking the decreasing population increase (Scenario B), the city population will reach 19 to 20 million in 2030 and 24 to 27 million in 2040. Considering the current urban situation of Kinshasa City, it is obvious that the concentration of the population into Kinshasa City will provoke difficulties in the living, social and natural environments of the city. Geographically, the available land of Kinshasa City is limited to a narrow space along the Congo River, and cultivation and urbanization towards the mountain side in the south might not be easy. Also, more concentration is expected to lead to more traffic congestion in the limited arterial roads. Before facing these difficulties, it is necessary to take measures to avoid and relieve the overconcentration into Kinshasa City. For this purpose, the government needs to consider other development strategies and scenarios. The Study supposes that the government will take action against the overconcentration into Kinshasa City before the situation worsens, and the trend of migration will be autonomously balanced. The Study will take Scenario B (decreasing population increase) for the estimation, on the assumption that proper control and development strategy at the national level will be implemented in the future. 5-3 Project for Urban Transport Master Plan in Kinshasa City / PDTK Final Report: Volume 1 Urban Transport Master Plan in Kinshasa City Source: The Study Team Figure 5.1.1 Estimated Annual Rate of Population Change of Kinshasa City (Left) Figure 5.1.2 Estimated Population number of of Kinshasa City (Right) 5.1.3 Estimation of Future Population of Communes (1) Process of Estimation Corresponding to the estimated population of Kinshasa City, the Study calculates the population of each commune in the future.

La commune de Mont-Ngafula a une vocation agro-pastorale et touristique. Cependant, elle éprouve d’énormes difficultés pour la réhabilitation de routes de desserte agricole et la répartition des ponts. La commune de Ngaliema (Carte 11) est créée le 12 Octobre 1957 par l’arrêté n° 21/429 du 12 Octobre 1957 du gouverneur de la province de la ville de Léopoldville fixant le nom, les limites des communes et les annexes de la ville de Kinshasa, alors Léopoldville, avec Monsieur Wery René comme premier bourgmestre. La commune doit son appellation à un ressortissant du Congo Brazzaville, Ngaliema Insi, qui avait traversé le pool Malebo et s’est installé au mont Ngaliema après avoir vaincu Lingwala qui s’y trouvait. Monsieur Ngaliema est resté au mont Ngaliema jusqu'à l’arrivée de monsieur Henry Morton Stanley avec qui il a signé le « traité de fraternité" en 1881. Elle est l’une des 24 communes de la ville de Kinshasa, avec 526.231 habitants concentrés dans une superficie de 224,30 km², soit une densité de 2346 habitants par kilomètre carré. Elle est subdivisée en 21 quartiers. Elle est classée deuxième en population et quatrième en superficie. 100 KATALAYI MOTOMBO ǀ Hilaire ǀ Thèse pour le doctorat en géographie | 2014 Carte 11 : Présentation de la commune de Ngaliema Cette commune est bornée au Nord par le fleuve Congo (la séparant de la République du Congo) et les communes de Kintambo et de la Gombe ; à l’Est par les communes de Bandalugwua et de Selembao ; à l’Ouest et au Sud par la commune de Mont-Ngafula.

E-mail: [email protected] Downloaded from Accepted on 4 March 2016 Abstract While geographic information systems (GIS) are frequently used to research accessibility issues http://heapol.oxfordjournals.org/ for healthcare services around the world, sophisticated spatial analysis protocols and outputs often prove inappropriate and unsustainable to support evidence-based programme strategies in re- source-constrained environments. This article examines how simple, open-source and interactive GIS tools have been used to locate family planning (FP) services delivery points in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) and to identify underserved areas, determining the potential loca- tion of new service points, and to support advocacy for FP programmes. Using smartphone-based data collection applications (OpenDataKit), we conducted two surveys of FP facilities supported by partner organizations in 2012 and 2013 and used the results to assess gaps in FP services coverage, using both ratio of facilities per population and distance-based accessibility criteria.

    République Démocratique Du Congo Assemblee Nationale

    RÉPUBLIQUE DÉMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO ASSEMBLEE NATIONALE COMMISSION SPECIALE CHARGEE DE L'EXAMEN DE LA VALIDITE DES CONVENTIONS A CARACTERE ECONOMIQUE ET FINANCIER. CONCLUES PENDANT LES GUERRES DE 1996-1997 ET DE 1998 RAPPO RT DES TRAVAUX 1ere PARTIE (LAPENA) [Page 1] INTRODUCTION 1. Contexte général: aux origines de la Commission Spéciale chargée de l'examen de la validité des conventions signées pendant les guerres de 1996-1997 et de 1998-2003 De septembre 1996 à mai 1997, la République du Zaïre est secouée par la rébellion de l'Alliance des Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Congo, AFDL. Le 17 mai 1997, cette rébellion finit par emporter le Président MOBUTU déjà affaibli par la contestation interne, et les institutions de la transition issues de la Conférence Nationale Souveraine, C.N.S. Elle porte Laurent Désiré Kabila au pouvoir. Le Zaïre redevient République Démocratique du Congo. En août 1998, l’A.F.D.L implose. Son implosion donne lieu à une recomposition des alliances internes et externes qui soumettra les populations congolaises à la rude épreuve d'une deuxième rébellion, cette fois-ci à parties multiples. D'un côté, le Gouvernement légal de Laurent Désiré Kabila appuyé par l' Angola, la Namibie, le Tchad et le Zimbabwe, de l'autre, deux, puis quatre mouvements armés, le Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie, le RCD, le Mouvement de Libération du Congo, le MLC, le Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie/Mouvement de Libération, le RCD/ML, et le Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie Nationale, le RCDN, soutenus par le Rwanda, l'Ouganda et le Burundi.
  • Disposition of Remains

    Disposition of Remains

    DISPOSITION OF REMAINS This brochure provides guidance on procedures and documentation required for disposition of remains (human remains or ashes) from the notification of next-of-kin, of death of a U.S. citizen in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), to the shipment of remains to the United States (US). Note that, the consular officer has no independent authority over the disposition of the remains of a U.S. citizen who dies in DRC. Responsibility for the disposition of the remains, including all related costs, rests with the surviving spouse, next-of-kin (NOK), or legal representative of the deceased. The disposition of remains is carried out as closely as possible to the express wishes of the deceased, NOK, or legal representative, and in compliance with the legal requirements of the DRC in which death occurred. Only in the absence of the NOK, legal representative, or other person authorized to dispose of the remains is a consular officer required to attend to the remains. No fees are prescribed for consular services in connection with the disposition of remains. In order to quickly obtain required documents to ship the remains to the US, you must contact: 1. Consular Section of the US Embassy Kinshasa, 2. DRC authorities, 3. Commune, if local interment, 4. Funeral Home in Kinshasa, No shipment of remains will be authorized by Congolese authorities if required official documents are not issued. You need to plan ahead expenses of US$12000- 15000. For medical evacuation services and air ambulance, prices vary with medical crew from US$3500 to US$5500 per hour.
