Paris: Philippe Ngwala Malemba on TV5 Monde, the DRC at the Heart of Debates on Infrastructure in Africa
Paris, April 9, 2026
Philippe Ngwala Malemba's intervention on TV5 Monde – Regards Croisés
On April 9, 2026, on the sidelines of the Invest in Africa Forum held in Paris, the National Coordinator of the Social Fund of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FSRDC), Philippe Ngwala Malemba, was invited to speak on TV5 Monde. This high-profile media appearance reflects the growing recognition of the DRC on the international stage.
The intervention took place during the "Regards Croisés" segment, hosted by journalist Mohamed Kaci. The theme addressed – "Infrastructure in Africa: how to invest better?" – allowed Philippe Ngwala Malemba to share the Congolese vision on a strategic issue for the continent's future.
A Strong Message: Rethinking Infrastructure Financing
Through this speech, the DRC conveyed a clear and innovative vision: rethinking infrastructure financing through sovereign and innovative mechanisms, particularly through the AXIS Program. This program, coordinated by the FSRDC, offers a bold alternative to traditional financing models that often lead to excessive debt for African countries.
A model based on three pillars:
1. Tokenization of gold and carbon assets
The DRC transforms its natural wealth – gold and forests – into digital assets tradable on international markets, generating liquidity without resorting to traditional borrowing.
2. Debt-free financing
By leveraging natural resources, the country can finance its major infrastructure projects without increasing its public debt, thus preserving its economic sovereignty.
3. Strategic valorization of natural resources
Rather than exporting raw materials in their unprocessed state, the DRC integrates them into a value chain that directly benefits local communities and national development.
The DRC Establishes Itself as a Key Player
This presence on TV5 Monde, alongside other international decision-makers and experts, has allowed the DRC to demonstrate its ability to propose, innovate and influence international debates. The model promoted by the FSRDC is attracting growing interest from investors and international financial institutions.
Indeed, the DRC no longer simply follows existing models. It creates new ones, adapted to its realities and ambitions. An approach that is setting a precedent and could well inspire other countries on the continent facing the same infrastructure financing challenges.
"The DRC proposes, innovates and influences international debates."
