How can poverty and hardship be eradicated in the DRC?

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the poverty rate has reached 68% at the national threshold, according to recent household living-conditions data published by the National Institute of Statistics. More than 64 million Congolese live below the poverty line on about two dollars a day, while many families struggle to afford adequate food, housing and health care. On Okapi Service, Jody Daniel Nkashama speaks with economics professor Daniel Mulenda, executive president of CIRADD, about why poverty persists despite the country’s vast resources and what solutions could help people live with dignity.
