The second day of Makutano 5 will begin with a plenary session during which discussions will focus on the theme: « sports industry, big business forgotten. According to the organizers, it will be a question of starting from an inventory with the ambition to lay the foundations of a coherent project. Objective: to give the Congolese sports industry its full potential.

The reality of the facts indicates that many economic sectors are under-exploited in the DRC. And the sports industry deserves special attention.

« How, in this country where tens of millions of young (and not so young!) Have the sport pegged to the body, can we miss such a windfall for clubs, athletes … and for the State ? Broadcasting TV or radio competitions, stadium marketing, derivatives, sales of young players, sponsorship, advertising image of players, etc., are all avenues to explore, « says the organizing committee.

A second plenary will address the theme: « new generation: Between want to return and desire to leave! » The challenge will be to identify the strategies to be implemented by the DRC to retain talent and invite those from abroad to return home.

It will also be question of how Congolese « success stories » can become the ambassadors of the return to the country for the youth of the diaspora, but also symbol of hope in their country for those who dream of exile?

The third plenary session will focus on the theme « Public services version 2.0: digitization is now! The complexity of this issue, according to the organizers requires a thorough reflection.

The last plenary will give the floor to the governors of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They will discuss their vision for the Provinces they govern, their difficulties and their hopes. And this, while remaining in phase with the reality of their respective territories.

In addition, this second day will also have three round tables. The first focused on public-private partnership in the health sector; the second on the theme « Image country and benchmark: Let’s leave the passionate! « ; and the third on the Familly Business.

This program of Makutano 5 will be closed by a presidential panel scheduled on September 7, 2019 between 16:30 and 18:00. Presidents of the Republic, in exercise or honoraries having agreed to exchange together, publicly, will share their vision of Africa.
