Financed by the African Development Bank, the futurist building will soon be the nerve center for storing and processing the digital data of the Republic of Congo. “Congo will soon be the only country in Central Africa to have its own data centre,” says Michel Ngakala, coordinator of the Central Africa Fibre-Optic Backbone project, which includes Congo. Some €13.8 million of the total has been allocated to build and run the data centre. The African Development Bank Group is Congo’s leading partner and the country’s top infrastructure financing institution. In addition to laying the fibre-optic cable and building the data centre, the Bank has funded several road infrastructure projects in Congo.
