What the grant funds

The Democratic Republic of Congo is home to over 4,000 individuals who have benefited from U.S. government exchange programs. In addition, the country boasts a rapidly growing community of influencers who are playing a pivotal role in the nation’s transformation and development. Their influence is particularly significant in shaping the evolving relationship between the American and Congolese peoples. In this context, and with the goal of fostering meaningful exchanges, supporting alumni initiatives, and enhancing the skills of Congolese digital creators and influencers, Public Diplomacy - Kinshasa is proud to host the Alumni – Influencers Summit. This major event will take place from June 4 to 6, 2025, at the Rotana Hotel in Kinshasa. It will bring together 300 alumni and influencers, including 50 participants from various provinces across the DRC. The summit is designed to provide a platform for collaboration, idea-sharing, and networking among these key stakeholders. The primary objective of the summit is to strengthen their online presence and support the growth of their businesses. By providing opportunities for skill development and fostering valuable connections, the summit will empower attendees to enhance their digital influence and contribute to the continued development of the country.
