| Abstract |
The group of experts: representatives of civil society from the DRC and Europe, the USA and Canada, business, academics, government representatives and media- that participated to the conference: ‘The DRC’s natural treasures; source of conflict or key to development’ have concluded that up to today, Congo’s natural resources have benefited a happy few, but have hardly contributed to the socio-economic development of its people, on the contrary. Timing of the meeting was crucial: With the upcoming elections, the Congolese state is going through an essential phase in its history, and action has to be taken now, before the end of the transition, to set the stage for the elected government. Out of the discussions during the conference, Fatal Transactions has drawn the following recommendations regarding all actors that can make a difference. |
