Entrepreneurship Promotion in Africa
Abstract:
In its multidisciplinary context, advisory services firms are
structures that assist or help governments, communities,
organizations, companies and individuals to identify,
develop, implement and evaluate solutions that tackle
problems and challenges that curb their growth or
development. Advisory services firms are important
stakeholders in the process of developing a sustainable and
inclusive growth in rural Africa.
This paper highlights the key roles that advisory services
firms can play in the process of greening industries and
green entrepreneurship promotion as a driver of
sustainable and inclusive growth in rural Africa
3.3.2. Mining Water in the Congo River Basin – The Need for Innovation
Abstract:
The Congo River basin detains enormous mineral deposits,
geographically scattered throughout a basin area estimated to
3,680,000 Km2from ten countries. It detains important global
reserves of mineral such as copper, cobalt, coltan, diamond, iron,
gold, zinc and more. Mining exploitation is one of the pearheads
of the region economy, representing around 70% of the total
region exportation. The exploitation of ores in the Congo River
basin is achieved by industrial operators and artisanal and small-
scale mining operators. The majority of mining sites in the Congo
River Basin are connected to the Congo Rivers basin waters. For
more than 100 years, the waters of the Congo River basin have
been used in mining industry with inadequate technologies and
environmental management strategies and techniques. Among
major consequences, water pollution and riverbanks degradations.
The current trend shows that the mining industry is significantly growing in the region, including
production increase and expansion of mining sites, which implicates the increase of mining water. In a
business as usual scenario, this development implicates also the increase of water and environmental
pollution risks as well as social conflicts risks.
Here comes the necessity for innovative, integrated and collaborative approaches. Primarily, this paper
presents the mineral potentials and the mining industry in the Congo River Basin and shows how majors
mining sites are connected to and use the Congo Rivers basin waters. Secondly, it demonstrates the
need for innovation including the adoption of new technologies and implementation of sustainable

17. Investhill : Representative of International Activities for Development (2007 – 2022) Page | 17
environmental management strategies and techniques for mining water in the Congo River basin.
Finally, this paper aims to share knowledge and experience and to generate thoughts and dialogue on
best approaches to apply for sustainable utilization of water for mining in context of the Congo River
basin and beyond.
3.3.3. Energizing the Congo River Basin
Abstract:
With 13 % percent of global hydropower potential flows, only 9%
of the population in the Congo River basin is connected to
electricity. With over half of Africa’s water resources, only 26% of
the population in Congo River basin has access to safe drinking
water. With the highest fish diversity of any African river and an
estimated potential production of 520, 000 tons of fish per year to
support food security, the Congo River basin inland fishery is still
under-exploited.
First of all, this paper present the water resources and the
hydropower/renewable energy potential of the Congo River basin,
the inland fishery potential of the Congo River basin and the status
of energy access, water access and food security in the Congo River
Basin. Secondly, this paper highlights the inter-linkages between
water – energy – food in the context of the Congo
River basin and how energy from this natural capital could support sustainable energy access, safe
drinking water access and food security in the region and beyond. Finally, this paper aims to stimulate
thinking on best options to adopt and implement for the sustainable utilization of Congo River water in
the context of water – energy – food.
