financial education: a major asset for young entrepreneurs.: How mastering concepts helps people in the DRC to launch, manage and grow their businesses.

MUAMBA MUTEKEMENA CELESTIN's study highlights the importance of financial education for young entrepreneurs in the DRC. Despite their potential, many fail due to a lack of financial knowledge. Over 60% of the Congolese population is young, but obstacles such as political instability, corruption and limited access to finance are holding back entrepreneurial growth. The author emphasizes the key role of financial education in improving financial management, decision-making and risk resilience among young people. His study, based on a mixed methodology (surveys and interviews), reveals that those who have received financial training are more successful. Expected results include more effective business management and lower failure rates. In particular, it recommends the integration of financial education into school curricula and the creation of appropriate training courses. This work shows that promoting financial culture is essential for sustainable youth entrepreneurship, calling for synergy between the state, NGOs and educational institutions.
