The objectives of this study are to identify the actors and actions that contribute to the development of the regional area of Kimvula, to demonstrate that the territory of Kimvula is underdeveloped, to show the problems of this situation and the strategies to ensure the integral development and to solve the problem of its poor development.
The results obtained from this study affirm that the level of the development is in decline (opinion of 60 percent of subjects surveyed), or in stagnation (opinion of 34.5 percent of subjects surveyed) and without opinion (opinion of 5.5 percent of subjects surveyed). The long-term development of Kimvula therefore requires diversification of their economies into the production of tradable goods. It is also necessary in the medium term because the territory is isolated from a possible reversal, even temporary, in the current trend in raw material prices. Diversification of production can follow several directions.
The evacuation of agricultural products is a first path. But also, significant investments in transport infrastructure and the rehabilitation of agricultural service roads.
National governments and international development agencies have neglected for too long the potential that the territory of Kimvula represents.
