For fair and dynamic entrepreneurship in the Democratic Republic of Congo

In a context where entrepreneurship and job creation are crucial issues for the economic development of a country, it is essential to question the policies and measures put in place to support local entrepreneurs. The recent introduction of the measure for granting registration certificates for services in the sector has sparked debates and legitimate questions among Congolese entrepreneurs. Indeed, this “decision” to recommend which entrepreneur should have which market in which company goes against the principle of free competition and risks further weakening the economic fabric of the country.

The impact of such practices on the local economy cannot be underestimated. By restricting entrepreneurs’ access to certain markets, we fuel inequalities and promote market distortion that harms the country’s economic dynamics. It is essential that the regulator ensures that competition rules are respected and that only qualified companies can access subcontracting markets.

Furthermore, the question of local employment and the protection of the Congolese workforce must be at the heart of concerns. Promoting SMEs, recognized for their crucial role in job creation, should be a priority. It is necessary to put in place incentive policies to encourage local entrepreneurship and innovation, while ensuring that resources and opportunities are equitably distributed.

By revisiting current practices, such as registration certificates and the arbitrary designation of companies for the award of contracts, the government could promote an environment more conducive to the emergence of new economic actors and job creation. durable. It is also crucial to strengthen sanctions for non-compliance with competition and local employment rules, to ensure market fairness and transparency.

In conclusion, to promote the dynamism of Congolese entrepreneurship and actively contribute to the fight against unemployment and precariousness, it is essential to review existing policies and promote an economic environment favorable to growth and innovation. Measures to support local businesses and ensure the protection of the Congolese workforce must be at the heart of government actions, in order to build a more prosperous and equitable future for all.
