A relatively notable differential between the two criminality subcomponents suggests that criminal actors drive the DRC’s overall criminality score. In terms of criminal markets, environmental crimes consistently have high scores, with concerns that illegal logging, poaching and wildlife trafficking are rife. Most notable, however, are non-renewable resource crimes. Actors, from government forces to rebel militia, are involved in, and benefit from, the illicit trade of gold and criminal control of artisanal mining of conflict minerals and cobalt. These mines are also hotspots for the pervasive human trafficking and human smuggling markets. Armed mafia-style groups, and national and international criminal networks, are involved in high levels of organised crime throughout nearly all criminal markets and there is a high level of corruption within the government. This directly impacts the DRC’s resilience to organised crime and hinders all operations within the country. Across all resilience indicators, there is a marked lack of capacity to prevent and combat organised crime, and it is therefore entrenched in society. The DRC ranks 50th in Africa for resilience.
