Makutano Strategic Note 2025 : From Potential Economy to Power Strategy – The Time for Choice.
Makutano 2025, marked by a historic edition in the presence of the Prime Minister and an unprecedented broadcast for total transparency, is the starting point of a new era for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Under the theme « Congo contracts : time to choose. », this landmark report outlines the roadmap for breaking with the passive rent-seeking model and transforming the nation's immense potential into sustainable economic power. The Government's vision rests on a new approach to public action focused on credibility, implementation, and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), considered the backbone of development.
Discover the strategic reform priorities for the transformation of the DRC :
- Governance : A fundamental overhaul based on the establishment of a triple requirement of predictability, transparency, and consistency. The reforms aim to consolidate macro-budgetary discipline, digitize the administration to combat corruption, and improve the business climate by unleashing the energy of the private sector.
- Mines : The imperative is to move from a predatory economy to an economy of transformation and integrated value creation. Minerals are now considered an "accelerator" to trigger a broader and more sovereign industrial process.
- Energy : A pragmatic and diversified strategy to transform these sectors into pillars of sovereignty. The ambition is to increase the electricity coverage rate from 20% to 60% by 2030, by combining the revival of large projects (Inga) and the accelerated development of decentralized renewable energies.
- Transportation : : A strategic lever for opening up and economic integration, aiming at the creation of efficient logistics corridors to connect territories.
This integrated approach is embodied by the flagship Green Corridor project, which aims to create 500,000 jobs and the transport of 1 million tons of food by combining preservation, agricultural development and security.
The challenge is no longer diagnosis, but implementation.
