Congo has launched the Moloni project in Kasai Oriental as part of efforts to
support agricultural development, promote food security and contribute to the
development of the country’s green corridor initiative.
The
project is being implemented in Miabi, where the company has begun a pilot
phase involving 1,000 farmers drawn from local communities. The initiative aims
to use digital tools and connectivity to improve agricultural productivity and
strengthen the livelihoods of farming households in the region.
According
to the company, the Moloni platform is designed to empower farmers with access
to information and digital resources that can help improve farming practices
and decision-making.
The
initiative also places particular emphasis on supporting women in agriculture,
with 600 of the beneficiaries being women engaged in agricultural
entrepreneurship.
As
part of the project, community leaders have also been equipped with digital
terminals to facilitate the dissemination of information and strengthen
communication within farming communities.

sustainable development and drive digital inclusion while contributing to the
country’s transition toward greener and more resilient economic systems.
