The Director General of the National Agency for the Promotion of Investments (ANAPI), Anthony Nkinzo will be a panelist at the fifth edition of the Makutano Forum to be held from 6 to 7 September 2019 in Kinshasa. He intends to discuss the progress made by the country in implementing reforms on the business climate.

In a video posted on the Facebook page of Makutano, Anthony Nkinzo, lifted a section of veils on the content of what ANAPI will present during this forum.

« We will talk about the state of play of institutional reforms. We are going to give a preview of the roadmap that has been drawn up at the level of the experts of the institutions of the Republic, to give the guideline of the various reforms that we expect to put on the public square. For example, the law on local preference.

« Business club africain créé par et pour les Africains, Makutano invite les dirigeants des secteurs privés et publics à innover de façon impitoyable et à proposer des modèles perturbants, basés sur les meilleures pratiques d’Afrique et d’ailleurs. »

The move of the Congolese government aims to improve the conditions of the business environment to attract both local and foreign investment. In this perspective, ANAPI wishes to use the Makutano forum to promote the concept of surrogate mother, placed in the strategic plan of its institution.

« The DRC has enormous potential. Today, we are working to promote the image of the country. And we believe that ANAPI wants to use Makutano so that we can have this true concept of surrogate mother. The concept of surrogate motherhood has been included in our strategic plan so that we can get closer to certain people where ANAPI is not found, « added Anthony Nkinzo.

The challenge of this fifth annual forum will be to identify sectors that have been little or not explored, with a particular focus on sustainable development and the levers of innovative financing for the State.

« The Makutano represents for me the realization of a dream; a dream of the Congolese who say that we must get together and discuss real issues of politics, economy and development of our country, « said the director general of ANAPI.
