Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Works

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Works (French: Ministère des Infrastructures et Travaux Publics, often abbreviated MITP) is a government ministry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo responsible for planning, developing, constructing, and maintaining the country's public infrastructure, as well as formulating and implementing policies governing major infrastructure systems such as roads, ports, airports, railways, and hydroelectric installations. It also directs the construction and maintenance of public facilities such as educational institutions, healthcare centers, and government buildings. The ministry's headquarters are located on Roi Baudouin Avenue in Gombe, Kinshasa.

It supervises civil engineering and infrastructure projects funded by the Congolese government and international partners. Its responsibilities include preparing and monitoring public procurement contracts related to infrastructure studies and construction projects, promoting appropriate construction standards and engineering techniques, regulating construction companies and consulting firms in the sector, and ensuring compliance with technical and legal requirements. In addition to infrastructure development, the ministry manages certain public assets, including the state vehicle fleet, fuel stocks, and government-owned real estate. Since the Democratic Republic of the Congo's independence in 1960, the ministry has played a significant role in shaping and modernizing the country's infrastructure network. The ministry is currently headed by John Banza Lunda, who has served as Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works since August 2025.
