LA PoLITIQUE EN RDC

Sept congolais sur dix sont des Agriculteurs, plus de 65% des congolais vivent dans une zone rurale. cette partie de la population vit exclusivement de l'agriculture familiale.Pourtant, la politique agricole nationale, tout comme les principaux bailleurers internationaux, ne la considerent pas comme un moteur de developpement durable au congo.
La reconnaissance institutionnelle et politique de l'agriculture familiale est toujours insuffisante.
Elle ne beneficie pas ou tre peu d;investissements publics et prives qui permettraient aux paysannes et paysans d'etre en condition pour en developpe les plus values.
C'est puor cela que plusieurs organisations belge de developpement,ainsi que leurs partenaires au congo,ont cree Allience Agricongo en vue de reunir leurs efforts.

Politics in the DRC

Seven Congolese in ten are farmers, plus 65% of Congolese live in rural areas. This portion of the population makes their living exclusively from family agriculture. However, national agricultural policy, as well as major international backers, do not see this as a viable engine of sustained development in the Congo.

Institutional and political recognition of family farming is still inadequate. They do not benefit, or receive very little benefit, from public or private investments, which would put them in a position to reap some capital gains. This is why several Belgian development agencies and their international counterparts in the Congo have created Alliance AgriCongo to coordinate their efforts.
