The World Bank could provide as much as $5-billion to Democratic Republic of Congo over the next five years if its new government commits to raising more revenue, fighting corruption and opening up its economy. The financing would be a welcome boost for Congo’s new President, Felix Tshisekedi, who has promised a bold series of costly social programs, including free primary-school education for more than 20-million children. Last month, the International Monetary Fund said it’s considering resuming lending to the country after a seven-year hiatus.
