DRC: 'It's not that we haven't done anything': Nicolas Kazadi explains the gap between reported progress and public perception

Nicolas Kazadi acknowledged the gap between official statements on progress in the DRC and the public's perception, which feels that daily life has not improved since 2019. He stated that the country's energy production capacity has doubled in eight years, but demographic growth and demand from the mining sector limit benefits for citizens. Kazadi emphasized that the DRC has become a net importer of electricity, spending over $200 million annually on imports.
