Economic and Social Development – 1999
1999
Intermediate Implementation 
Some progress was made in terms of rebuilding social and economic infrastructure. The African Development Fund financed 91 percent of the Rehabilitation of Health Infrastructure project. The economy grew gradually but a reliance on commodity exports was met by repressed prices in the world market. The agriculture sector continued to be the primary export earner. The government was also mulling over plans to exploit natural resources such as natural gas under Lake Kivu with estimated reserve of more than 50bn cu meters.1
