TUDIENZELE
Toward food self-sufficiency in Kasaï
The project
TUDIENZELE is a large-scale development program implemented by ADRA DRC in the province of Kasaï, one of the most food-insecure regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Funded by the U.S. government, the project supports communities through a lasting transition: moving from dependence on emergency aid to genuine agricultural self-sufficiency, through coordinated support across several complementary areas.
Over the 2023–2028 period, more than 166,000 households are being supported step by step, with the goal of building lasting resilience against food and climate crises.
