Notice Title

DFID 8317 Private Sector Development Programme: Market Systems Development - ELAN 1.2 Contract Notice

Notice Description

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has huge economic potential. There are 80m hectares of uncultivated arable land, vast mineral resources and over half of Africa's water. This is countered by a very difficult business environment with very little industry. DRC ranks 184 out of 190 on the World Bank's Doing Business survey. It performs particularly badly on contract enforcement, getting electricity, paying taxes and trading across borders. Recovery of the private sector in DRC is vital; for job creation and poverty alleviation. DFID's planned ELAN 1.2 programme will support market actors, generate market insights, demonstrate innovation and build capacity to improve the functioning of markets for poor people, ultimately delivering the Expected Impact of reducing poverty in DRC by improving the income of poor women and men in selected market systems.
