Ce qui fonctionne — Congo

The Republic of Congo has implemented three major World Bank-supported initiatives with distinct focuses. The Lisungi Safety Net Project reached 76,000 individuals with cash transfers and 95,000 with business grants between 2015–2023, later expanding to over 60,000 refugees and asylum seekers, before being institutionalized as the National Safety Net Program—though these figures reflect official monitoring data rather than rigorous causal evidence. The FCPF Emission Reductions Programme commits up to US$41.8 million for verified emission reductions across 12.4 million hectares of tropical forest in Sangha and Likouala Departments, making Congo the 6th African signatory to the FCPF Carbon Fund. The Congo Digital Acceleration Project ($100 million World Bank credit plus €15 million EU grant, 2023–2028) aims to expand broadband to rural areas and improve digital skills, targeting at least 2 million citizens in a context where national broadband coverage reaches 89% but internet use stands at only 62%, though no independent impact evaluation has yet been published.
