Harnessing Congo’s natural wealth for the benefit of its people and the energy transition
Resource Matters is a non-governmental organization that works to ensure that mineral and energy resources in the Democratic Republic of the Congo generate tangible benefits for its population and contribute to a just and inclusive energy transition.
Focus area
Our work is based on in-depth research and analysis of the policies, standards and practices that govern natural resources.
Mining
How can Congo’s mines generate tangible benefits rather than harm for its population?
Electricity
How can renewable energy generate electricity for Congo’s people and economy?
Corruption
How can we prevent that corruption makes the rich richer and the poor poorer?
