In Burkina Faso and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, local communities have engaged in efforts to address critical infrastructure needs. In Burkina Faso, youth and volunteers in Koungou and Diapaga worked to rehabilitate rural tracks and repair a bridge to maintain access to livestock markets and medical centers.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, youth representatives in the Lubi sector of Kasaï-Central have petitioned national authorities for a permanent bridge over the Lubi River, citing the need to facilitate the movement of farmers, traders, and students.
