More about the book

Focusing on the Local Content Approach, this publication explores its role as a catalyst for sustainable development in resource-rich countries, particularly the DRC.

The analysis delves into the effectiveness and challenges of these policies in the DRC, emphasizing the lack of a clear definition of local content and its implications for development.
