Abstract: This article analyzes the impact of logging in the DR Congo on the state of forests, public revenues and improving the living conditions of indigenous peoples and those bordering on forests. A forestry reform has been launched since 2002 at the instigation of the World Bank to promote the sustainable management of forests and the development of forest populations. However, the evaluation of this public forest policy, which we have carried out after 14 years of application in order to measure its impact on sustainable forest management, forestry taxation and the local development of forest populations, shows that, if The forestry reform in 2002 contributed to a slight improvement in the mobilization of forest tax revenues, but did not favor the sustainability of forests and the protection of the rights of forest peoples. Thus, we suggest some reforms to improve this forestry policy.
