From Territorial Resilience to Industrial Motricity as an Economic Model for the African Contryside Growth
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article deals with a case study relating to the capacity for resilience, developed by the indigenous communities of the region of Simba in the territory of Bulungu in the Kwilu, located in the abandoned oil areas formerly exploited by Unilever in Congo. To better support the local growth of villages and promote the efforts of such a multidimensional territorial resilience in developing countries, the study proposes industrial motricity as an economic model likely to strategically play the role of a real tool in the fight against poverty. In view of the local resources available, the study makes some practical proposals on how water, coupled with soft energy, small rural industry and human capital, could suggest not only a few landmarks built on a square symbiotic, but also, provide relevant responses to the socio-economic development problems faced by local communities, thanks to the transformation of local resources from available into finished products with high added value, creating wealth, thus offering employment proximity to young people, and supporting local growth.
