Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study aims to investigate the most significant challenges hindering the Democratic Republic of the Congo's ability to benefit from its cobalt wealth and secure its supply chain. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted. The study concluded that the primary challenge is the weak regulatory and institutional framework for cobalt mining, which renders the supply chain less transparent from an economic, social, and environmental perspective, this necessitates strengthening mining governance.
