Four strategic pillars, a broad range of intervention modes, one constant requirement: creating lasting value in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Strategic pillars
01
Responsible development of cobalt, copper and critical minerals, with high value-added local processing.
The DRC holds the world's largest cobalt reserves and ranks among the leading copper producers. The Fund favours projects that include refining and processing on national territory, creating skilled jobs and local added value.
02
Hydropower, solar and grid development for universal access to clean energy.
With the Inga site, the DRC has Africa's largest hydropower potential. The Fund supports generation, transmission and distribution projects that electrify the provinces and power industry.
03
Road corridors, ports, telecommunications and logistics linking provinces and regional markets.
Opening up the provinces and connecting to regional corridors are preconditions for growth. The Fund co-invests in transformative transport and digital infrastructure.
04
Sustainable agro-industry and food security, mobilising the country's vast agricultural potential.
With 80 million hectares of arable land, the DRC can become a regional breadbasket. The Fund finances agro-industrial value chains, from production to processing and logistics.
