[00:00:00] the structuring, up to
[00:00:04] formalizing the structure and we have,
[00:00:07] by this same position,
[00:00:10] accompanied, we accompanied the revision of the
[00:00:14] NDCs with contribution notes and
[00:00:17] now that you are speaking, we are still
[00:00:20] members of the multi-stakeholder commission that
[00:00:24] prepares the country
[00:00:26] here, that civil society contributions for the COP, the COPs, the different COPs
[00:00:29] and in this context, there is a new
[00:00:33] note that has been published and the commission has been implemented, the
[00:00:37] service note based on the service note, Madam
[00:00:40] Minister, we are always by her side
[00:00:44] in this fight, you know
[00:00:47] uh in the case of that it's it's
[00:00:49] one of the rare ministers who truly
[00:00:53] supports civil society at this level,
[00:00:57] Madame Al Donono and...
[00:01:00] until she thought of having a
[00:01:03] technical advisor for civil society,
[00:01:07] you see, it's it's in
[00:01:11] and why not move Africa here, these are rare cases, especially in Central
[00:01:14] based on the map of Africa, but she thought about it and we are
[00:01:17] always by her side in this struggle, that's why we are
[00:01:20] always in uh uh uh this
[00:01:23] commission giving and making our contribution
[00:01:27] notes to prepare the
[00:01:30] contribution of Congo to the different COPs and
[00:01:34] that will be the case for COP
[00:01:36] Songha area, you know you are in the 31. 31. Okay, but
[00:01:39] how would you explain that to an individual who is
[00:01:43] also polluting their environment? Well, you see, the the
[00:01:47] message is clear today,
[00:01:50] the fight must be at all levels, at all
[00:01:53] levels, we, civil society, the
[00:01:57] public authorities, the state, the merchant who goes
[00:02:01] to the market, the villager who is deep down, the
[00:02:05] indigenous people we work with, everyone
[00:02:09] must play their role. What is that role? For
[00:02:13] example, we play that role already through
[00:02:22] Manager of reduction of the project, we are planting and this project, but it has another aspect that I haven't mentioned about the project,
[00:02:26] because it's the very first afforestation
[00:02:30] and reforestation project in Congo that
[00:02:34] will map a forest based on
[00:02:37] the national map,
[00:02:40] you see, so this will be a very
[00:02:42] beneficial project for multiple reasons,
[00:02:46] you see, so we offset the carbon
[00:02:49] credit and others, we have and we
[00:02:53] strengthen biodiversity, the habitat of
[00:02:56] biodiversity and we uh uh uh
[00:03:00] also do the PES, the payments for
[00:03:04] environmental services, the communities that are
[00:03:07] around and in the project area benefit from
[00:03:11] the improvement of their daily
[00:03:14] menu, meaning we encourage them to
[00:03:17] create income-generating activities, at
[00:03:21] our level we do it, there is also awareness,
[00:03:24] we must raise awareness, how
[00:03:27] do you raise awareness? Precisely, we work with... with the
[00:03:30] neighborhood committees and for some reasons we have initiated
[00:03:34] an awareness project that we called uh a
[00:03:37] closer awareness
[00:03:40] with these
[00:03:43] neighborhood chiefs so that in turn they can take over
[00:03:47] and even in Mongale here in the past we
[00:03:50] had with uh a
[00:03:54] counsel's help done awareness here, okay
[00:03:57] so we want to, so we are trying to... we
[00:04:01] have solicited
[00:04:03] and after from America, we have officially written, you
[00:04:07] see the areas uh where
[00:04:10] uh the erosions, after the
[00:04:13] erosions, we dump garbage there, and
[00:04:16] after uh sometimes trucks come to
[00:04:20] solidify it, but after the cause is
[00:04:23] there, it can come back and we have
[00:04:27] therefore exchanged during the... reception
[00:04:30] we benefited from Madam Matondo, we agreed
[00:04:33] that we could with
[00:04:37] their their
[00:04:39] plans and with the
[00:04:41] the well-being of town hall after having
[00:04:44] filled it, we come to plant to
[00:04:47] solidify this soil
[00:04:50] at that moment. What are the difficulties you encounter on the
[00:04:53] ground? The difficulties on the ground are
[00:04:57] of a financial
[00:05:00] nature and when we have, for example,
[00:05:03] different awareness campaigns, that requires resources, we
[00:05:07] mobilize a lot of people to
[00:05:10] go, for example,
[00:05:12] for a long time and after that we still have to reassure them with a small
[00:05:16] travel allowance and that's after, there is also a
[00:05:20] problem, we have signed
[00:05:23] uh a memorandum of understanding with
[00:05:26] the association of Tele Congo
[00:05:29] journalists for the environment, so
[00:05:32] we should always broadcast our
[00:05:36] activities, unfortunately our activities
[00:05:40] the...
[00:05:42] protocol was not really uh
[00:05:45] uh uh operational
[00:05:48] and respected and because why we had signed
[00:05:52] to have the facility
[00:05:55] that the network of journalists working for the
[00:05:58] environment should use our
[00:06:01] activities to precisely communicate and what are
[00:06:05] the future prospects for Bomoi for the Congo
[00:06:09] Climate Network? Well, uh here for
[00:06:13] Ndete Aboymi, there
[00:06:16] are many, there is already the
[00:06:19] tourist aspect because of the shape of this
[00:06:23] plantation which is
[00:06:26] Congo, so we
[00:06:29] would like it to be
[00:06:32] a small tourist site because
[00:06:35] within the interior we will
[00:06:38] also divide by department, when you arrive
[00:06:41] in this... plantation, if you are in the West Cuvette
[00:06:45] area, you know you are in the West Cuvette area, if you are in the
[00:06:49] Songha area, so that's
[00:06:52] it and another aspect is to
[00:06:55] make the payments for environmental
[00:06:59] services benefit the communities living
[00:07:02] in and around the project, we
[00:07:05] are also launching the production of in a given
[00:07:08] area, an area that we will target for honey
[00:07:12] production, so we will produce honey for the
[00:07:16] communities, that's it, and besides
[00:07:19] that we want uh
[00:07:23] to respond, that's the biggest objective, to
[00:07:26] respond to the
[00:07:30] the carbon footprint of SIAT
[00:07:34] which financed, which put its money so that this
[00:07:37] project can be realized,
[00:07:41] so in realized. We also want to uh value
[00:07:45] the carbon credit because we are not going to stop there, it
[00:08:16] You see, here I am in the
[00:08:20] plantation of
[00:08:23] cabritus of
[00:08:25] fast-growing species, so here
[00:08:29] we have established
[00:08:31] 100 hectares, 100 hectares
[00:08:35] of plantation precisely to fight
[00:08:39] against global warming.
[00:08:43] And you see, he did a lot of agroforestry because
[00:08:47] next to these fast-growing species, we
[00:08:50] also planted cassava, so you see
[00:08:53] how it grows and it's barely really, that's
[00:08:57] what's good and you see for yourself
[00:09:01] how it looks, look at that, these are the
[00:09:05] plantations and it extends
[00:09:09] downwards until
[00:09:18] Back to our set, always accompanied by Mr. Okiri
[00:09:22] Blancha. Mr. Okeri, we are at the end of our interview, but
[00:09:26] before concluding, you spoke earlier about the various difficulties you
[00:09:30] encounter on the ground, so at this point, what message do you wish to
[00:09:34] convey to the Congolese people, to the authorities and partners
[00:09:37] to ensure the success of the project? Well, before
[00:09:41] uh difficulty level, I wanted to send a message
[00:09:45] to tell all Congolese that
[00:09:49] you see, we are here to work for
[00:09:54] humanity, so that the state and
[00:09:57] people understand that the service,
[00:10:01] the national afforestation and reforestation
[00:10:04] program, Pronar, supports us
[00:10:08] technically in the implementation of this project. In any case, we commend the
[00:10:12] forestry economy for this
[00:10:14] reason because it has provided us with its
[00:10:18] technicians to support us in the implementation of this project. People
[00:10:22] must understand that there are companies here
[00:10:25] that operate here and support the initiatives
[00:10:29] launched by public authorities. I would like to
[00:10:32] mention SIAT today, which
[00:10:35] has not remained on the sidelines of this initiative, which has
[00:10:39] decided to mobilize resources and make them available
[00:10:42] to us for the realization
[00:10:45] of this project. We also want to say,
[00:10:51] organizations are not sleeping, they are
[00:10:54] there. They just need to be
[00:10:58] encouraged to do great things in Congo. Alongside
[00:11:02] this project, we can do many things with
[00:11:05] the communities that are there, notably in the case of
[00:11:09] PC. We can
[00:11:12] awareness on the effects of climate
[00:11:15] change, there are several activities, we have
[00:11:19] projects, if there are people uh we are therefore
[00:11:22] calling out so that those who can
[00:11:25] hear us come and we will
[00:11:29] identify among our projects here what they
[00:11:33] can subsidize
[00:11:55] the General Manager, Mr. General Manager.
[00:12:41] And Mr. Lebella Isende Abondo
[00:12:44] Pitchu, General
[00:12:47] Economy and interim maintenance of
[00:12:50] navigable waterways incoming and
[00:12:53] I invite everyone. So for you, to look at
[00:12:57] the future with
[00:12:59] courage and a spirit of service, may
[00:13:03] God bless our work, accompany
[00:13:06] our efforts and guide our actions in the service of the
[00:13:10] Republic, thank
[00:13:11] you,
[00:13:20] the general
[00:13:20] manager.
[00:13:56] do you have them?
[00:26:05] It's your wife.
