In his communication during the 55th meeting of the Council of Ministers, the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi returned to the need to constantly support the impetus to improve the business and investment climate in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“While reserving the specific assessment of each ministry concerned, a forthcoming meeting relating thereto. He invited the reforming ministers and the other members of the government to redouble their efforts to do better in this area, especially in the perfect control and supervision of their respective administrations, some actors of which are proving to be major obstacles to the implementation of the reforms” specifies the minutes of the meeting made Friday, May 27, 2022.
Since his accession to the supreme magistracy, the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi has always campaigned for the improvement of the business climate in the DRC. To achieve this, he even created a business climate unit within his cabinet. At the end of 2021, the Business Climate Unit had proposed a digital tool for monitoring and evaluating reforms and assignments within the public administration. The same year was marked by the activism of the President of the Republic, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, in favor of improving the business climate.
Head of State Félix Tshisekedi has made it one of the key issues of his mandate as the supreme magistracy in order to mobilize national and foreign investments to improve the living conditions of the populations. Following the partnership with the Tony Blair Institute, the Business Climate Unit (CCA) mobilized and made available a Tech Policy Advisor to achieve the aforementioned common objective. The latter, in collaboration with the CCA staff, configured the structure of an innovative software and subsequently integrated the assignments and reforms related to the business climate in such a way that in real time it is possible to monitor the progress of the implementation of the said assignments and reforms by each reforming ministry.
