WHO ARE WE?

Founded in 1958, Unicongo (Union Patronale et Interprofessionnelles du Congo) is an employers' association governed by the 1901 Law. Its members are grouped into 15 professional federations each headed by a President, and assisted by one or more Vice-Presidents.

The Union represents private sector companies in the Congo, and defends their interests with public and institutional authorities. In order to improve the business climate and contribute to the development of the Congolese economy, the Union informs, accompanies and advises these companies confronted with the changes of an economy formerly dominated by the public sector, and today, strongly impregnated with the context of globalization. It also works to promote and encourage the implementation of a business development policy.

Being the most representative employers' organization of the private sector in the country, Unicongo is a member of the International Organization of Employers, and therefore participates in the following activities

• At the International Labour Conference ;  
• At all consultations organized at the Central African level by the CEMAC and the ECCAS ;
• To development support organizations involving the private sector.

Within the framework of the partnership that binds it to the public authorities, the Union is a member of various commissions and national committees, and sits on the boards of directors of several public establishments and social organizations (CNSS and ACPE).
