A vast country located at the heart of the African Continent,
possessing unequalled assets in terms of natural resources
(mining, agriculture, forest, environment), human (a large
population estimated at some 70 million inhabitants) as well as
potential and proven markets, the Democratic Republic of
Congo remains a land of hope for the World, Africa and
Congolese people in spite of the troubles which have
characterised it during the last four decades.
The rebirth of the
country in the recent context of economic globalisation is a
major challenge for its leaders, who need to have a greater
sense of responsibility, political will and conscience in public
government, to enable their country to play the major role it
deserves to ensure growth and prosperity in Africa and Congo,
through the implementation of a well-considered and thought-
out policy to diversify its contacts with the outside world,
particularly with the Atlantic countries, and thus significantly
reduce poverty and other scourges.
With reference to the
Brazilian mode] which offers striking similarities with that of
Democratic Republic of Congo, the author demonstrates that
such a challenge may be met by a better economic
infrastructure, the strengthening of a lawful and democratic
system through an improvement in the quality of public
govemance (economic and financial), the adoption and
integration of a culture of results in management, the fight
against corruption and the application of sanctions against
rogue public administrators and other predators and corrupt
officiais who fuel conflicts.
