The Université Nouveaux Horizons, the Carter Center and CREFDL presented an issue of the journal Sciences, technologie et société in Lubumbashi on 27 October 2026, examining mining royalties and extractive revenue management in the DRC. The publication aims to make research accessible to citizens, civil society groups and public decision-makers, informing debate on the transparency and effectiveness of extractive revenues. Fabien Mayani of the Carter Center described the initiative as combining scientific rigor with public outreach, backed by technical and logistical support from the organization. The research covers, among other topics, the 2018-2023 period and considers revenue management mechanisms and challenges in applying them.
