The suspense is finally lifted, the government Ilunkamba is published since the first hours of Monday, August 26, 2019. Five priorities are to be entered for this new government long awaited by the population who wants to live not the alternation but even more good governance.

First. Prepare the government program that would already be ready. The latter must take into account the vision of the Head of State who wants to put the man in the center of everything, which advocates good governance, the fight against corruption.

Secondly. Present his program and his ministers to the plenary to solicit the nomination. In this regard, the machine is already running with the convening of the special session by the President of the National Assembly and the national deputies were waiting for the publication of this government.

Thirdly. Initiate surrender and resumption with outgoing ministers and ensure continuity of the state.

Joining the Ministers in the Code of Good Conduct, holding the government seminar on the responsibilities of each and thus clearing the roadmap to finally sign the performance contract are among the latest tasks of the Head of Government, Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba.

DRC: Egyptian Ambassador Hesham El Mekwad pays a courtesy visit to ANAPI

Published

on

On Thursday September 25, 2024, Bruno Tshibangu Kabaji, Managing Director of the Agence Nationale pour la Promotion des Investissements (ANAPI), and Hesham El Mekwad, the Egyptian ambassador accredited to the Democratic Republic of Congo, exchanged views on investment and trade issues.

The Egyptian diplomat was accompanied by Adham Thabet, development cooperation advisor at the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

Discussions between the two personalities focused in particular on the role of ANAPI as the body responsible for supporting investors in the DRC.

While stressing the need to increase economic and commercial cooperation between Egypt and the DRC, the two parties encouraged Egyptian investors to step up their presence in several fields in the DRC, notably energy, transport, infrastructure and agriculture, fisheries and livestock.

With this in mind, the Egyptian Ambassador expressed the wish to establish regular contacts with ANAPI to support this mutual ambition.

DRC: corruption in the mining sector represents 5% of GDP per year (report)

Published

on

According to a report by accountancy firm Crowe, in collaboration with the Centre for Cybercrime and Economic Crime at the University of Portsmouth, fraud accounts for an average of 6.4% of expenditure in the global mining sector, rising to 8% for procurement operations.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where natural resources are abundant, corruption has devastating economic consequences.

Corruption costs the global economy an estimated $2.6 billion a year, representing 5% of GDP.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, these losses undermine essential government revenues, particularly taxes and royalties.

Fraudulent practices, such as the delivery of substandard goods and the creation of fictitious employees, exacerbate the situation. In addition, bribes to obtain mining permits undermine confidence in institutions.

To combat this corruption, the report recommends preventive measures that could reduce losses by up to 40% in one year. These include rigorous control systems and regular audits. Such an approach can not only improve corporate profitability, but also enhance transparency in a sector vital to the national economy.

By strengthening governance and reducing corruption, the DRC can transform its mining potential into a genuine engine of sustainable growth for the country and its communities.

Completion of the 1st phase of work on the 145-Territory Local Development Program (PDL-145 T) was the focus of discussions this Tuesday, September 24, 2024, in New York, USA, between the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister in charge of Planning, Guylain Nyembo; the Minister of Finance, Doudou Fwamba Likunde Li-Botayi, and the Director of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

During this high-level meeting, the Minister of Finance of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) informed the UNDP Director of the Congolese Government’s requirements. These included speeding up completion of the remaining works by December 31 of this year, before launching the second phase of the program, which focuses mainly on agricultural feeder roads.

 

En réaction, la Directrice du PNUD a rassuré les autorités congolaises de la volonté et de la disponibilité de son institution à accompagner les projets visant à améliorer les conditions de vie de la population de la RDC dans son ensemble.

Selon les services du ministère congolais des Finances, le taux d’avancement des travaux confiés au PNUD est évalué à 84,1%. Ce qui justifie la satisfaction de toutes les parties prenantes.

Le Programme de Développement Local des 145 territoires (PDL-145T) est une initiative ambitieuse du Chef de l’État congolais, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, visant à lutter contre la pauvreté, les inégalités et à promouvoir le développement dans les 145 territoires du pays.

Les premiers volets du programme incluent la construction, la réhabilitation et l’équipement d’écoles, de centres de santé et de bâtiments administratifs, ainsi que la réhabilitation des routes de desserte agricole.

Par ailleurs, les autorités congolaises ont annoncé l’organisation d’une table ronde axée sur les investissements. Y prendront part notamment les bailleurs de fonds et les investisseurs du secteur privé.
