The mission, which began on August 25, 2025, was organized under a cooperation agreement between the Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA) and Congo-Brazzaville\u2019s Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de Promotion Immobili\u00e8re (SOPRIM). <\/p>\n

It was led by Dr. Julio Nganongo Ossere, Director of the Ministry\u2019s Office of Construction and Urban Housing, accompanied by four technical experts.<\/p>\n

Throughout the visit, the delegation toured several institutions and projects across the country, including Rubavu District, the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA), and the Rwanda Housing Authority, where they were received by Director General Alphonse Rukaburandekwe. <\/p>\n

They also visited Kigali City, where they were introduced to the KUBAKA platform, a digital system designed to simplify, speed up, and improve the process of applying for and obtaining building permits.<\/p>\n

Dr. Nganongo praised Rwanda\u2019s use of digital platforms in service delivery, noting that Congo-Brazzaville intends to adopt a similar system beginning in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis system used in Rwanda has been a valuable lesson for us, as we also have plans to roll out such a platform. We are impressed and confident that the knowledge shared by our Rwandan counterparts will guide us in making this a reality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The partnership between RHA and SOPRIM was formalized on November 24, 2021, with the aim of strengthening collaboration in housing, urban planning, and the development of affordable, modern housing.<\/p>\n

The visiting officials described the exchange as an opportunity to draw inspiration from Rwanda\u2019s achievements in sustainable urbanization and citizen-focused service delivery.<\/p>\n
