He was also an advisor and specialist in labor dispute resolution for several companies and NGOs. In 2000, he became a lawyer at the Kinshasa-Gombe and Mbuji-Mayi bars.<\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Mpanda took his first steps in politics in 2007, joining the office of Alphonse Ngoy Kasanji, Governor of Kasa\u00ef-Oriental, as an advisor. In 2011, he was elected national deputy for Mbuji-Mayi. Re-elected national deputy in 2018, he became president of the ADRP-G18 parliamentary group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On August 29, 2019, Jos\u00e9 Mpanda was appointed Minister of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation in the Ilunga government, the first government of President Tshisekedi. He will be one of the few ministers to retain his position in the Lukond\u00e9 government, a reappointment following recognition of the work carried out in the previous government. &quot;A ministry is the foundation of development,&quot; he stated during his previous appointment, where he carried out the modernization and viability of research centers and institutes, as well as the promotion of Congolese researchers.<\/p>\n<p>A man of great challenge, Jos\u00e9 Mpanda will still be able to distinguish himself at the head of the Ministry of Agriculture to move towards the food security so sought after by the Congolese population. This lawyer by training will notably have to accelerate the program of the Agenda for the Agricultural Transformation of the Democratic Republic of Congo (ATA-RDC), an initiative of the Head of State, implemented in February 2022. The ATA-RDC in 2023 notably involves increasing the budget allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture, the creation of eight agro-industrial zones and the experimentation of cassava in the bread-making sector. The budget of the Ministry of Agriculture, estimated at 709 million USD, is thus an increase of more than 50% compared to the 2022 financial year.<\/p>\n<p>With 80 million hectares of arable land and its regular hydrological regime, the DRC has the greatest potential for the production and processing of agricultural products. Faced with this enormous potential, President F\u00e9lix Tshisekedi advocates a win-win partnership with donors and other investors. The sector can indeed largely lay the foundations for economic diversification by opting for production.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Depuis le 24 mars 2023, Jos\u00e9 Mpanda assume les fonctions de ministre de l\u2019Agriculture.
