Who: The African Development Bank Group and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Representatives of the African Development Bank Group and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will meet to carry out a scheduled Country Portfolio Performance Review (CPPR). The purpose of the review is to assess the implementation of Bank-financed operations in the DRC, measure overall performance of the portfolio, and identify corrective measures to improve effectiveness and impact.

The review will take place under new Bank guidelines in force since July 1, 2024, which call for the preparation of stand-alone reports on the performance of country portfolios. The approach is participatory, and includes consultations with national authorities, project management units, sector ministries, technical and financial partners, and civil society.

In particular, the review will assess the contribution of the Bank Group's operations to the country's structural and inclusive transformation, in line with the Country Strategy Paper for the DRC (CSP 2024-2029), which was approved on 17 January 2024. The Paper supports industrialisation, job creation and improved access to energy by focusing on four priority sectors: agribusiness, transport, energy and governance. Progress in these sectors is crucial for achieving the agro-industrial diversification objective of the DRC's Agricultural Transformation Programme.

The review will also lead to the preparation of a plan to improve portfolio performance in the period 2026-2028. A national workshop will be held to validate the improvement plan, led by Doudou Fwamba, Minister of Finance of the DRC, and Mohamed Chérif, Deputy Director and DRC Country Manager of the African Development Bank.
