DRC Launches Félix Tshisekedi Infrastructure Centre to Centralise Public Works Services
DRC Breaks Ground on Félix Tshisekedi Infrastructure Centre to Boost Public Works Coordination
On Thursday, January 22, 2026, Prime Minister Judith Suminwa laid the foundation stone for the Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo Infrastructure Centre, a strategic complex designed to centralise all public services involved in infrastructure development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Fully funded by the Congolese government, the centre will cover an area of 2,549 m² and is designed to accommodate up to 1,400 civil servants, including senior managers. The complex will feature 27 meeting and multipurpose rooms, conference facilities, as well as both underground and outdoor parking. Construction is scheduled to take 24 months.
Conceived as a hub for infrastructure-related administrations, the new centre aims to strengthen coordination, efficiency and planning capacity, in line with the government’s objective of developing modern, resilient and “smart” infrastructure across the country.
Financing for the project is being provided by the Congolese Agency for Major Works (ACGT), the public body responsible for the implementation of large-scale infrastructure programmes.
Located nearby is the Kinshasa Financial Center, inaugurated in December 2023. Comprising twin towers, the complex was built by a Turkish construction firm at a cost of approximately $290 million.
It spans 41,000 m² and includes parking facilities for 1,100 vehicles.
The infrastructure centre forms part of a broader wave of large-scale development initiatives launched under President Félix Tshisekedi. In December 2025, the Head of State personally launched construction of a Sino-Congolese industrial city in Maluku, a project valued at $12 billion and expected to generate up to 225,000 jobs.
These flagship projects are complemented by an ambitious national road programme, with plans to stabilise 3,735 km of roads across the country by 2026.
Together, these initiatives underscore the government’s determination to strengthen national transport corridors, improve connectivity and attract greater private and foreign investment.
