The Framework Law n ° 013/2002 of 16 October 2002 on telecommunications in the DRC: the law provides for two structures to manage the ICT sector, namely the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Regulatory Authority ; Law No. 014/2002 of 16 October 2002 establishing the Regulatory Authority of Post and Telecommunications of Congo “ARPTC” ; That sector is also made up of several conventions and other instruments signed by the DRC, including the convention of the UIT, the Malouga - Torremolinos convention (1973), the Convention of the African Postal Union, etc.

The liberalization of the ICT sector to private partners in the framework of the economic reforms initiated by the country’s authorities enabled it to rank among the growth sectors of the Congolese economy.
