The DRC is one of the top ten crypto-friendly countries in Africa. \n\nThe Congo Basin in DRC has one of the richest endowments of natural assets in the world, but current economic systems reward extraction over preservation. \n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "refiDRC"}
