education
In Marimba County, 131 teachers teach 6,200 first to tenth grade students in 71 classrooms. There is a shortage of teachers. The district administration was unable to fill 60 teaching positions. The main reason given is the poor road conditions, which make it difficult for teachers to attend schools in the rural areas of the district, and they therefore do not apply for the relevant positions. There is also a lack of classrooms, which is estimated at 40 classrooms. (As of September 2013)
economy
The district is strongly characterized by agriculture. The main crops of the predominantly small-scale agriculture are manioc , peanuts , sweet potatoes and sesame . The residents also fish and wash diamonds from the rubble in the Cuango River .
In the course of the state programs to fight hunger and reduce poverty, the district administration has announced the expansion of communal kitchens, the establishment of rural markets for agricultural products, the purchase of carpenter and carpentry equipment, and the promotion of agricultural production communities. The improvement of waste disposal and the construction of an administration building in the Tembo Aluma community should also provide further positive impulses in the district.
