        Poverty today is more a reflection of deficiency in wealth redistribution around the world than it is a lack of resources or hard work among people in developing countries. Structured employment is proportionally related to wealth redistribution. Unemployment is one of major causes of poverty that has reached greater numbers among people in Kinshasa, DR Congo the heart of Africa and the surrounding communities. It has become increasingly perceptible in the developing world that the scheme of networking together for Development initiatives are better carried out by the non-profit sector from outside of the community not merely by the Public or the private sectors that are rooted in the community. People can accomplish more by working together. For the lack of business development think-tanks, many people with their strengths and/or education do not know where to turn for a model or mentorship for job creation. The major factors that hinder formal small business creation in Kinshasa in particular, and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo in general are difficult to undermine unless tackled with a group effort. By helping in job creation effort, a business development service will benefit the community in a ripple effect, both at the local and national level.


 

The ultimate goal, although it may not seems so urgent, is to help the nation move away from the so much widespread informal business sector to a more structured and formalized business in order to give reliable jobs and combat poverty and its devastating effects on populations in the region. The informal business, as attractive as it maybe for poverty alleviation, is not a ground for the global business transactions nor is it trustworthy for the traditional financial institutions. The result of this unworthiness is the permanent status of people as high risk from the banks point of view and subjection to no financing or super high interest financing.

      CCDN in its role of consulting Business Development Service will to help create the
production as well as the service oriented type of businesses which will generate jobs in the areas of agriculture, health, education and more. The mentorship offered should help a quick move of the small and informal business into a medium size and a more formal sector.
