evidence: This project is promoted by CSP-REGLA, a Congolese NGO, and is known under the local name "Sula ya Amani" (the Face of Peace). The first step, Integrated Development of Semliki River, is being studied by the Ministry of Regional Integration of DRC. More details are given about this particular project. [...] This Navigation Canal is designed to avoid the numerous and tight bends of the Semliki found in the part which constitutes the border with Uganda. From the Lake, it would go up to opposite Bundibundu, the last RDC village on the right bank of the Semliki, a stretch of some 68 km. At this place, elevation is given around 674 masl, so slope/gradient is practically 1 m/km. [...] Its hydroelectrical potential may be sufficient to fund the cost of the first element of this Canal, the Semliki River Development, an International waterway entirely in RDC territory.
