Since its creation, le Centre National d’Appui au Développement et à la Participation Populaire (CENADEP) has worked to improve the well-being of the most disadvantaged classes by promoting these populations’ democratic expression, popular participation, and self-sufficiency. It also reinforces popular and grass-roots institutions, voluntary economic and social organizations, and the population’s capacity to impose an alternative to unfavorable development policies.
CENADEP, in light of the struggle against poverty and of the promotion of the sustainable development of the Congolese people, advocates for a participative, sustainable, and transparent management of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s natural resources. CENADEP supports social, economic, and ecological durability and sustainability.
