Diagnostic findings
- The diagnostic analysis of the socio-economic situation shows that the Congo still faces many challenges.
- The analysis identifies weaknesses in the quality, capacities, and efficiency of the system across public services.
- Human resources need to be managed "rationally and efficiently in all their components."
Policy recommendations
- Strengthen the quality, capacities, and efficiency of the system.
- Manage human resources rationally and efficiently in all their components.
- Focus the national development plan’s (NDP) actions on the economy to make it stronger and give the State more consistent means of action to meet the main national challenges.
NDP implementation and expected impacts
- Implement the "six strategic pillars" of the NDP to enable the State to have the necessary resources for the development of:
