What CREGE (Centre de recherche en économie et gestion) does

CREGE (Centre de Recherche en Économie et Gestion) is a privately held SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) research center headquartered in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The organization pursues three explicit objectives: producing and disseminating theoretical and empirical research in economics and management, training students and professionals in statistical and econometric data analysis, and conducting market surveys and studies for institutional partners. It is supported by a digital scientific library and an ongoing publication stream covering topics such as insurance sector analysis, entomophagy, workplace bullying, and multivariate time series analysis.

The operation is structured around two core product lines. MTSA (La Minute Trente du Savoir) is a video-based knowledge dissemination format combining 90-second educational capsules with an annual professional certification program. CAD (Cercle d'Analyse de Données) is a training school offering multi-level certifications in data collection, processing, analysis, and interpretation. The 2026 training calendar includes data analysis using Stata (April), accounting and financial audit (July-September), enterprise Excel (December), MS Project, KoboCollect investigator training, and a CV-writing workshop. The technology stack is built on Stata for statistical/econometric work, with supplementary use of MS Project, Excel, and KoboCollect for data collection.

The revenue model is a single subscription stream: an annual affiliation program priced at $100 per participant, granting access to the bundled MTSA certification track. Distribution is informal and direct, with enrollment handled via WhatsApp (+243862239073) and email ([email protected]). The customer base spans DRC-based students (Licence, Master, Doctorate), young graduates, researchers, and working professionals in management, economics, HR, marketing, engineering, and health fields, with institutional partners addressed through market studies. The organization operates with a lean team of approximately 5 employees and no disclosed external funding rounds.
