Denis Sassou N’Guesso President of Republic of Congo
The 2021-2026 Social project of the Republic of Congo is focused on the industrialization of the country.
The implementation of this ambitious plan – to structurally transform our economy – is based on the development of four existing special economic zones (SEZs), including: Pointe-Noire, Brazzavi...lle, Ollombo-Oyo and Ouesso.
In the same vein, the Government of the Republic chose the development of SEZs as the third pillar of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2022-2026.
Consequently, to prioritize and involve the local labor in the construction of the Pointe-Noire Special Economic Zone, 350 young people were called to receive training in Construction, thus obtaining the necessary skills required to fully contribute to the realization of our nation’s plan.
Denis Christel Sassou Nguesso Minister for International Cooperation & PPPs
At the dawn of the opening of the continental free trade zone, our country located in the heart of Africa must be a strategic hub for production, processing and distribution. It is in this perspective that the government of the Republic of Congo has decided to trust the ARISE group to ensure the dev...elopment of three special economic zones in our country.
Jean-Marc Thystere Tchicaya Minister of SEZs & Economic Diversification
We welcome the partnership with the Arise IIP Group which, through the Industrial Platforms of Congo Pointe-Noire (PICP), is working hard to, in particular, make the Special Economic Zone of Pointe-Noire operational which, on relying on sectors with high growth potential, will become the driving for...ce of development of a diversified and resilient economy, enabling inclusive growth and sustainable economic development, creating jobs and bringing wealth.
Julien Paluku Minister of Industry of the DRC
Julien Paluku, Minister of Industry of the Democratic Republic of Congo, stated that the vision of a “New Congo,” as envisioned by H.E. Félix-Antoine TSHISEKEDI, is achievable through the establishment of competitive ecosystems and robust economic platforms. The creation of Special Economic Zones (...ZES) a perfect illustration of this. We are here in the second SEZ of Kinshasa, the SEZ of KIN MALEBO, situated approximately 40km from the center of Kinshasa. Kin-Malebo will specialize in the processing of Congolese wood, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and others.
Samaila Zubairu, the Managing Director of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), expressed enthusiasm about this transformative project for the DRC. He emphasized that it aligns with AFC’s strategic commitment to constructing infrastructure that precisely caters to a country’s needs. The development of the Kin-Malebo industrial zone further underscores AFC’s dedication to supporting African nations in enhancing their industrial capabilities.
Patrice Talon President of the Republic of Benin
We have adopted a law to promote Special Economic Zones and the first Industrial Zone in Glo-Djigbé is fully operational and already welcoming investors.
Benin's ambition is to become an industrial hub for the transformation of agricultural products such as cashew, cotton, shea butter, pineapple, s...oy and many more.
I'm convinced that thanks to the attractiveness of GDIZ, we'll be able to mobilize even more foreign direct investment in our country.
Benin is entering an important phase in its history, that of going far with serious project leaders who will process raw materials and create jobs for young Beninese. These factories remain a safe destination for our raw materials and a prerequisite for increasing our agricultural production.
Michael Derus Ambassador of Germany to Benin
It’s truIy impressive ! I was very pleased to return to GDIZ. My last visit was less than a year ago and I’m very impressed by the swift development I have seen, particularly in the Garment Training Center (GTC). The Zone has a great potential for international development.
Dr Akinwumi Adesina President of African Development Bank (AFDB)
I am impressed by the scope of Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ). It will contribute to the industrialization of Benin by promoting the local transformation of Benin’s natural resources (cotton, cashew nuts, pineapples and others) and the creation of jobs for Benin’s youth. Congratulations to the Pr...esident of the Republic of Benin Patrice Talon for his vision. Today, Benin is transforming its agricultural sector with GDIZ, which processes raw materials into high value-added products for export. This initiative, based on innovation and local processing, shows the way to sustainable prosperity and a thriving economy on the continent!
Arnaud Floris Coordinator Africa- BPI France
Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ) reflects Benin's boldness and innovation: an inspiration for African countries with its immense potential for industrial development. We are committed to support, co-finance and co-invest in agribusiness projects, as a demonstration of our faith in Benin's vision an...d promising future!
Joseph Owondault Berre Vice-President of the Gabonese
Everything is in place within the Nkok SIZ to foster high-quality projects and achievements. This Zone is a tool for promoting Gabon's expertise. It was a truly memorable visit.
Evariste Ndayisimiye President of the Republic of Burundi
GSEZ is an example in the transformation of natural resources.
Raymond Ndong Sima Prime Minister, Head of Government- Gabonese
Together, let's build our future by increasing our production capacity and exploring innovative avenues to maintain our position of choice on the international market.
