Communautary development

The sustainable development of the Democratic Republic of Congo will delay benefiting its populations if the work of political, private and civil society actors does not include the dimension of community development.

The need for community development is greater in the Democratic Republic of Congo, especially since the economy of the  country is based on mining and foreign direct investment whose owners have little regard for the environment, are prone to corruption, and exploit in defiance of the rights of indigenous communities.

To save the Congolese people from poverty, disease and the loss of the heritage of their ancestors transmitted from generation to generation, FICE intends to participate in community development to:

​

• Help manage risks collectively and effectively;

• Increase and contribute in the long term to the vigor and effectiveness of communities;

• Ensuring the health of communities;

• Provide community education; 

• Improve the quality of life;

• Enable communities to participate  in decision-making;

• Maximize the role of facilitator of positive change of the company;

• job creation;

• Encourage the creation of small and medium-sized businesses by members of the community in order to provide the populations with basic necessities that cannot otherwise be provided by other partners.
