Evidence snapshot for Congo
The Republic of Congo has implemented several major development initiatives: the Lisungi Safety Net Project reached 76,000 cash-transfer beneficiaries and 95,000 business-grant recipients between 2015–2023, later expanding to 60,000+ refugees; the FCPF Emission Reductions Programme committed up to USD 41.8 million for verified emission reductions across 12.4 million hectares of tropical forest; and the Congo Digital Acceleration Project, co-financed by USD 100 million from the World Bank and EUR 15 million from the EU, targeted reaching at least 2 million citizens with broadband and digital-skills training. However, these figures reflect official monitoring data and stated targets rather than independently verified impact evaluations, with the digital project still in early implementation as of the most recent reporting reviewed.
