Abstract

Despite some timid progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, Africa continues to lag behind in terms of economic development and extreme poverty. This has intrigued researchers and policymakers alike to identify policies that can be most effective for improving the economic situation on the continent. Focusing on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this column argues that sustainable development is a multifaceted challenge and requires a sound combination of complementary policies that affect not only workers employed in the formal sector, but also and above all workers and entrepreneurs trapped in informality.
