Evidence snapshot for Congo
The Republic of Congo has undertaken significant initiatives across social protection, climate, digital inclusion and education. The Lisungi Safety Net Project reached 76,000 individuals with cash transfers and 95,000 with business grants while serving 60,000+ refugees, before being institutionalized as the National Safety Net Program in 2024. The Congo Digital Acceleration Project is deploying $115 million (World Bank credit plus EU grant) to expand broadband into underserved rural areas and digital skills training, targeting 2 million citizens despite 89% existing broadband coverage against only 62% internet usage. On climate, the FCPF Emission Reductions Programme commits up to $41.8 million for verified emission reductions across 12.4 million hectares of tropical forest in Sangha and Likouala departments. In education and AI literacy, the UNESCO-CODEMAO Youth Coding Initiative trained approximately 99 teachers (45% women) who generated 82 coding projects, though the evidence presented consists primarily of process indicators rather than outcome measurements.
