COBDI’s approach in delivering its engineering solutions to its clients is based on a long lasting partnership based on the premise of shared risks and rewards between COBDI and our clients.
We aim to deliver solutions that not only meet your needs, but deliver real value to your bottom line in a quantifiable manner. We also aim to impart knowledge to your internal IT function to empower them to take ownership of the solutions and systems that we implement long after we have left.”

Through these partnerships, we are able to deliver cost-effective and tailored technical, technology and strategic management solutions and expertise that are able to fundamentally transform businesses and impact your bottom line. As an integral part of our engagement model, COBDI believes in transfer of skills to local Congolese professionals through training and ensuring that local communities take part in the rollout of all projects to its clients. This we believe will empower the local Congolese people to actively participate in the economic development of the country while reducing our client’s dependence on foreign skills. We are convinced that the development of local skills is imperative to ensuring that the DRC becomes self-reliant and is in line with the government’s intended goals of local empowerment.
