EquityBCDC welcomes Harvard students during a historic exchange luncheon in the Democratic
Republic of Congo.
Kinshasa, March 12, 2024 - Célestin Mukeba, CEO of EquityBCDC, is pleased to welcome students from Harvard University for an exchange luncheon at the headquarters of EquityBCDC on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. This event is organized as part of the
Harvard Treks project, aiming to provide students with an immersion in different regions of the world while exploring political, governance, and business aspects.
The Harvard Treks project offers students enrolled in graduate programs at the top universities in the United States the
opportunity to discover diverse cultures and understand economic and social dynamics in countries such as the DRC.
Célestin Mukeba, a Harvard Business School alumni holding a diploma in the "Advanced Management Program," is an inspiring
example of global leadership. He was distinguished as the top student of the AMP201 cohort, proudly representing the group of 147 participants from 43 countries worldwide.
EquityBCDC is honored to host these Harvard students for their first visit to the DRC. This meeting also serves as an opportunity to strengthen ties between EquityBCDC and Harvard University through the Equity Leaders Program (ELP).
The exchange luncheon is part of the broader Harvard Treks project, which also includes the recent Harvard-Congo (DRC) summit. This summit brought together key professors from Harvard University and a Congolese delegation, who committed to
promoting development in public, private, and academic sectors.
EquityBCDC is committed to establishing a successful partnership with Harvard University through its Equity Leaders Program (ELP), aiming to foster economic and social development in the DRC.
