As for the head of ANAPI, the study results from Target Sarl will allow measuring the level of knowledge, application, and appropriation of the initiated reforms, starting from 5 indicators, in particular: starting an economic activity, taxation and para fiscality, building permit, real estate transfer and quality of administration.

Before getting to the heart of the matter, Serge MUMBU specified the lack of knowledge as a significant handicap to implementing business climate reforms in the 26 provinces of DR Congo.

A moment of exchange allowed each province delegate to respond to the General Manager of Target Sarl. He answered all the questions accordingly.

It is worth noting that after this restitution step, ANAPI will release the final report of this survey.
