The provided articles cover two distinct topics: economic protectionism in Côte d'Ivoire and electricity sector reforms in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In Côte d'Ivoire, Mathieu Katchia, a PDCI-RDA official, has called for increased state support for national entrepreneurs. He expressed concern regarding the rapid expansion of foreign operators, particularly from Asia, in sectors such as construction, retail, and land acquisition. Katchia warned that without stronger mechanisms to protect local businesses, the country risks losing control over its own economy.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Mwangaza Network organized a workshop in Kinshasa to address investment challenges in the electricity sector. Stakeholders discussed reforming the fiscal and parafiscal environment and the potential creation of a single window (guichet unique) to simplify administrative procedures. The goal is to balance the need for state revenue with the necessity of creating an attractive environment for energy investors.
