Resumen
Descripción
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate several techniques which can be used to evaluate
pathways to sustainable growth in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) via infrastructure
improvement. Decades of conflict and neglect have left the DRC’s transport infrastructure amongst the
sparsest and most dilapidated in the world.
