On June 22, the town of Matadi in Kongo-Central experienced a major breakthrough in the field of entrepreneurship with the inauguration of the one-stop shop for business creation. This significant event was marked by an official ceremony in the presence of political figures and representatives of the World Bank.
Initiated as part of a fruitful collaboration between the province of Kongo-Central and the Project to Support the Development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (PADMPME), this opening symbolizes an important step towards facilitating formalization and creation of businesses in the region. According to the general director of the one-stop shop, Amisi Herady, this service aims to simplify procedures for local entrepreneurs and encourage the economic growth of the province.
For Kongo-Central entrepreneurs, the opening of this one-stop shop represents a real opportunity to realize their projects and bring their businesses to life. Indeed, the formalization of economic activities is often a major challenge for many entrepreneurs, and the establishment of this service provides essential support for their development.
The Project to Support the Development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, financed by the World Bank, plays a key role in making this one-stop shop a reality. By encouraging entrepreneurs to take advantage of this service, it actively contributes to economic growth and job creation in the region. The 1,286 women entrepreneurs benefiting from the in-kind grant as well as all economic operators will now be able to benefit from this tool allowing them to formalize their activities and place them in a dynamic of sustainable growth.
In short, the inauguration of the one-stop shop for business creation in Matadi represents a real lever for economic development for Kongo-Central. By facilitating administrative procedures and encouraging local entrepreneurship, this system opens new perspectives for the economic growth of the region. Thus, local entrepreneurs will now be able to count on effective support to realize their projects and actively contribute to the local economy. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the entrepreneurial landscape of Kongo-Central and demonstrates the authorities’ desire to promote innovation and economic growth in the region.
