The evaluation report resulted from the joint mission carried out by the two international financial institutions IMF and WB. It is part of the implementation of the macroeconomic reform programme concluded by the Congolese government and the IMF. According to the head of the joint mission and the IMF's chief economist, Claude Wendling, “there is a gap between investment costs and access to infrastructure. This underperformance in public investment management is the main cause of the strong and constantly increasing disparity between the rural world and the big cities.”

For him, incomplete projects and the poor quality of books made the country vulnerable to the natural disasters observed recently. Also, the report of the assessment mission notes progress on financing in education, improving access to electricity, forest management and the fight against climate change.
