During the Christmas week of 2025, the Fonds Social de la République démocratique du Congo issued a communication announcing the forthcoming launch of the Sovereign Gold Reserve Token, a sovereign monetary instrument of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, backed by its mining and forest resources, notably gold and carbon credits.
A few days later, on January 2, 2026, during the 73rd Council of Ministers, Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Republic and Head of State, addressed a communication to members of the Government, the very first point of which explicitly focused on “the start of the year 2026 and the achievement of results in government action.”
Taken separately, these messages might appear discreet. Taken together, they constitute converging signals revealing a clear strategic orientation: articulating economic sovereignty, the responsible valorization of natural resources, and a strong requirement for concrete, measurable and verifiable results in public action.
These orientations are part of the continuity of the Presidential Projects for the Responsible Valorization of Natural Resources (PP-V2RN), developed in Central Africa by Winstant Ltdsince 2017. They are grounded in a structuring idea: African state sovereignty is not proclaimed; it is achieved through effective control of natural resources, economic flows, and their transformation into sustainable public value. Within this framework, the overall economic rationale of the PP-V2RN was developed specifically for the DRC in a strategic note issued in March 2025 entitled Digital of the Solution Country.
This vision, shaped and refined over several decades, belongs to a demanding African intellectual and political tradition—one attentive to genuine economic decolonization, the reconquest of value chains, and the capacity of states to transform their resources into endogenous development levers for the benefit of populations and territories.
The work carried out by Winstant Ltd in May and July 2025 forms part of a structured contribution to the reflections of the National AXIS Programme, with a constant objective: equipping the State to effectively achieve results in government action.
The May 2025 paper, dedicated to the WinstantGold pilot project, provides a directly operational contribution. It addresses results achievement not as an abstract goal, but as an execution challenge requiring concrete solutions: centralized leadership, inter-institutional coordination, upfront definition of indicators, structured monitoring, arbitration mechanisms, and the proposal of a WinstantGold Delivery Unit as a pragmatic steering instrument. This paper demonstrates how a results requirement can be immediately translated into operational arrangements, without heavy institutional reform.
The July 2025 paper broadens this approach by proposing a comprehensive framework for steering public action, structured around four key functions: Priorities, Policies, Planning, and Performance. It provides a complete grammar linking political decision-making to execution, fostering inter-ministerial coherence, continuity of public action, and accountability. It also identifies the governance conditions necessary for a results culture to become a structuring principle of government action.
In this sense, these two papers do not merely comment on the presidential announcement of January 2, 2026: they establish its operational and strategic feasibility, demonstrating that the requirement to achieve results can be steered, measured, and governed.
“The presidential statement of January 2, 2026 marks a major political clarification: government action must be judged by its results. The work carried out in 2025 within WinstantGold and the AXIS programme shows that this requirement is not only legitimate—it has already been anticipated both operationally and strategically. The May paper delivers concrete execution instruments; the July paper provides the overall steering grammar. Together, they make a lasting transition from intention to impact possible, in line with the PP-V2RN vision of sovereignty through resources.”
Winstant Ltd, initiator together with Phœnix Capital of WinstantGold and partner of the AXIS Programme, welcomes these strong institutional signals in favor of impact-oriented governance, sovereign valorization of natural resources, and the deliberate pursuit of economic sovereignty by African states.
In full respect of the frameworks defined by the Congolese State, Winstant Ltd remains available to the AXIS Programme, its steering bodies, and the associated ministries, to contribute—when appropriate—to the operational implementation of the orientations decided by the competent authorities.
WinstantGold is a strategic partnership between Winstant Ltd and Phoenix Capital, dedicated to the sovereign tokenization of resources, digital governance, the transformation of natural resources into sustainable public value, and the provision of Real World Assets to serve sovereign impact.
