Discover the DRC
Discover the Democratic Republic of Congo
A continent within a country — the DRC is the second largest nation in Africa, home to the world's second largest rainforest and a cultural powerhouse of music, fashion and faith.
Geography
Stretching from the Atlantic coast to the Great Lakes, the DRC borders nine countries and contains the Congo River basin — the planet's second largest river by discharge.
Culture
Kinshasa rumba is recognised by UNESCO. The Sapeurs of Brazzaville-Kinshasa, the modernist painters of Lubumbashi and the literature of Sony Labou Tansi place the DRC at the centre of African creative life.
Economy & resources
Cobalt, copper, coltan and the Inga hydroelectric potential give the DRC strategic weight in the global energy transition. CCI advances ethical, dignified narratives of Congolese resource sovereignty.
