EXPERIENCES IN EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE OF KIVU

It is essential to encourage the Congolese people to collectively build knowledge, especially since rebuilding the Congo is a matter for all citizens. Those who wish to do so through economic means must take into account the true meaning of investment, as reported by the economic facilitation nonprofit BISO NA BISO, which is implementing this approach in rural areas.Empirically-based initiatives demonstrate that all these key ideas are entirely feasible. Young people have successfully had their candidate elected to the National Assembly as a result of the "Parliament" initiative. Ordinary farmers are managing to thwart all strategies aimed at dividing their community by working toward a clear common goal: the revitalization of their local area, embodied by the magnificent "MBOKO ELAME" initiative. So all is not lost in the DR Congo!!
