The development of subcontracting by Congolese companies as part of the Sino-Congolese program in the Democratic Republic of Congo represents a major turning point in the economic landscape of the region. This development, highlighted during a recent meeting in Kinshasa, testifies to a new vision focused on the empowerment of local actors and the valorization of national resources.
The contractualization initiative set up between Congolese companies and the Sino-Congolese program opens promising prospects for the development of the major works sector in the DRC. Indeed, this collaboration marks a significant transition towards greater involvement of local companies in large-scale projects, traditionally dominated by foreign players.
The meeting organized in Kinshasa made it possible to set the rules of the game to govern this new dynamic of subcontracting. The discussions highlighted the importance of active participation of Congolese companies, such as the company Addict Contrat, UPC, Horizon CS and Mongabana, in the realization of key projects such as the development of Lumumba town, the construction from the University of Mbandaka or the Lodja airport.
This subcontracting approach aims to strengthen local capacities, encourage skills transfers and promote employment within the Congolese population. By actively involving the country’s companies in strategic projects, the Sino-Congolese program contributes to better development of national resources and expertise, while promoting more inclusive and sustainable economic development.
Furthermore, the establishment of solid relationships between Congolese subcontracting companies and the Congolese Agency for Major Works will guarantee effective and transparent collaboration in project management. This close coordination between the different stakeholders will ensure the smooth running of the projects and optimize the socio-economic benefits for the local population.
In conclusion, the rise of subcontracting by Congolese companies in the Sino-Congolese program represents a unique opportunity to consolidate the major works sector in the DRC and promote harmonious and equitable development. This new era of collaboration marks an important step towards the empowerment of local actors and the construction of a more prosperous future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
