On March 15, Rawbank had the privilege of welcoming 30 student members of the Africa Caucus, the Harvard Kennedy School student organization focused on Africa and its development challenges. This meeting provided an opportunity for constructive discussions on the bank’s strategic priorities and initiatives in the region’s social and economic development.
The last meeting between Harvard and Rawbank, in February 2024, during the bank’s participation in the African Business Conference organized by the Harvard Center for African Studies in Boston, had already led to a series of strategic discussions on the role that Congolese students at Harvard could play, with prospects of returning home and the desire to contribute to the local economy.

As part of its commitment to social progress and the development of human capital in the DRC, Rawbank has implemented an excellent recruitment and mentoring program aimed at attracting the best Congolese talent from the best universities.
This approach is in line with the bank’s strategy, which is based, among other things, on sustainability, solidity, and meritocracy, which are at the heart of the institution.
As part of its development strategy, Rawbank intends to seize partnership opportunities with renowned academic institutions such as Harvard. This partnership could offer mutual benefits in terms of specialized training for the bank’s employees, while building bridges to encourage the exchange of strategic skills.
