The objective is to reduce poverty, ensure food and nutritional security for rural populations, and create sustainable employment and income. Other expected results include improved access to markets, agricultural inputs, and services. The program targets fragile and economically, socially, and environmentally disadvantaged areas with significant agricultural potential, whose sustainable development will contribute to improving the country's food security.

PRODAN is part of the government's major priority program, which aims to eventually reach all 22 provinces of the country and gradually reverse the trend of food insecurity through the development of special agro-industrial processing zones. This program will directly benefit more than 131,413 households, or approximately 750,000 people, including 52% women, and indirectly 500,000 farming households. It will lead to the creation and consolidation of approximately 35 small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises, 40,000 direct jobs for young people (18-35 years old), including 30% girls, and 20,000 other direct jobs (30% women).

To ensure the sustainability of investments, the participatory and inclusive approach adopted during the preparation and evaluation of the project will continue during its implementation phase to involve all stakeholders. Similarly, the "special agro-industrial processing zone (ZSTA)" nomenclature will attract the private agro-industrial sector and facilitate market access with investments: roads, equipment and various networks, social and production infrastructure, access to various communication networks. Another project aims to contribute to the industrialization and development of the province of Sud-Ubangi, a province very rich in terms of agricultural potential for both food crops and sustainable agricultural products. Today, the majority of activity remains in the primary sector, the objective of the project is therefore to provide a secure framework where agro-industries can operate freely with tax exemptions associated with special economic zones. This program was launched by USAID in March 2022. The Ubangi Special Economic Zone is located in Buaka. It houses 25,000 hectares of plantations producing sustainable agricultural products and primary processing industries.

A roasting unit has been set up. The project's promoters created the Elikya Foundation, which houses a school with a capacity of 1,300 students, and a hospital center that has become the reference hospital in partnership with the government, with a total of 15 pavilions and a capacity of approximately 230 beds. A recreation center is available to those working on the plantation. In terms of infrastructure, there is also an airfield allowing companies to land directly in the area. It is planned to export products north via the RN 6, to Zongo, to Bangui, and from there to Douala in Cameroon. The river can also be used to bring products back to Kinshasa.
