President of the Democratic Republic of Congo Felix Tshisekedi speaks during a signing ceremony at the US Institute of Peace in Washington, DC, US, December 4, 2025.
Forty-two years after the last population census in 1984, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has kicked off the process of organising another one.
Faced with a population now estimated at 112 million, President Félix Tshisekedi said the second General Population and Housing Census (RGPH-2) is meant to provide solid data to base decisions rather than on approximation.
