About the Forum
Background
The Democratic Republic of Congo faces significant hurdles including conflict, corruption, and a shrinking space for civic dialogue. In this challenging environment, the need for responsible and ethical business leadership is more urgent than ever. The Forum was established to mobilize private sector actors to navigate these complexities and drive constructive social change.
Vision
Rooted in the motto of the DRC, 'Justice, Peace, Work', our vision is to transform the Congolese business landscape through the idea of 'purpose beyond profit'. We envision a nation where business leaders are guardians of democratic values and human rights; where integrity is the cornerstone of every commercial enterprise; and where national wealth translates into shared prosperity.
Mission & Goals
Our mission is to support a vibrant and accountable private sector by influencing national policy and policy-making dialogue. We will host regular gatherings to foster collaboration among business leaders, government, and civil society stakeholders. By building trusted partnerships, the goal is to provide a reliable platform for international investors and trade partners dedicated to sustainable growth.
