Publisher's Synopsis
SummaryLualaba province is one of the four provinces resulting from the division of the former Katanga province. This rich mining province is administratively made up of five territories and two towns. It is experiencing considerable economic growth, mainly due to mining royalties from the export of copper cathodes and cobalt hydroxides. However, this economic growth is only really palpable in the southern territories and towns: the Mutshatsha and Lubudi territories and the town of Kolwezi. As for the western territories: Kapanga, Sandoa and Dilolo, they are not benefiting from this economic growth, and it's a real struggle. So, these western territories are really lagging behind in terms of development. The exit plan we have proposed is a triptych, as follows: 1. creation of two public companies owned by Lualaba province; 2. creation of two portfolios, one containing mineral resource concessions and the other agropastoral and fishing resource concessions; 3. production of gold through small-scale industrial mining.
