Congo (Leopoldville) Encourages "Self-Help" Projects by People
Seventeen community development projects are underway, in the Congo to encourage the rural populace to use "self-help" and mutual aid principles to better their living conditions. The projects were established by the Central Government of the Republic of the Congo (Leopoldville), and the United Nations Civilian Operations in the Congo (ONUC) is also assisting in the programme.
