Background: CONGO-KINSHASA RECENTLY RECEIVED TOW DIFFERENT KINDS OF AID VIA THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

THE FIRST INSTANCE IS CURRENT DREGGING WORK ON A STRETCH OF THE CONGO NEAR ROMA OFF THE ISLAND OF MATEDA. A GIANT DREDGER HAS BEEN CUTTING A CHANNEL 36 FEET (11 METRES() DEEP TO ENABLE LARGER VESSELS TO NAVIGATE THE RIVER. THE COST OF THE WORK WILL BE PAID BY THE SALE OF CONGOLESE WORK THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY.
