Pande market

A pavilion built with project support in Lubumbashi's Pande market in 2003 now serves as the main hub for the marketing of horticultural produce grown at Kilobelobe and Kamilombe. The pavilion hosts some 30 vendors, most of them women, who report incomes of up to US$50 a day. Thanks to the project, the vendors say, locally grown vegetables have replaced produce that, until recently, was imported from neighbouring Zambia. Business is so brisk that the vendors have requested at least three times more space in order to meet consumer demand.
