This publication is an analysis of the functioning of the permanent framework of economic consultation, abbreviated as CPCE, which is a state structure created since 2001, by presidential decree n° 008/01 of February 23, 2001[14], with the aim of improving the business climate in the Democratic Republic of Congo, through its activities in the field in accordance with the objectives and mission assigned to it by the law. As a consultation framework, the CPCE is a neutral body that receives the claims of economic operators, organizes consultations on socio-economic issues between the public sector (government) and the private sector (economic operators), including representatives of consumer associations and civil society, especially with regard to the stability of prices of basic necessities (foodstuffs, petroleum products...) and the maintenance of the market exchange rate of foreign currency. Etc. in order to reach a consensus likely to improve the business climate and the living conditions of the population. Since 2020, no activity has been carried out on the ground and the population has only been subjected to pressure from economic operators, it is clear that there is a gap between the requirements of the law and the practices of the actors concerned. This is a problematic situation that has motivated our research on the evaluation of CPCE activities, based on the constraints that can influence the effectiveness of CPCE activities, while setting some evaluation indicators.
