This marks the first time a World Bank-funded biometric system directly controls 40% of a major African nation's public spending. The unprecedented scale of economic control through biometric authentication in DR Congo creates a template for implementing similar systems across developing nations, particularly significant given Congo's vast size and population.

📰 What Happened
The Democratic Republic of Congo launched ENCORE, a $250M World Bank-funded biometric ID project in January 2025 to control public servant payroll fraud. Led by PM Judith Saminwa and implemented by the Ministry of Civil Service and COREF, the system creates a nationwide biometric registry for all public servants, who represent 40% of total public spending. The project runs through December 2026 and aims to eliminate unauthorized payments across Africa's most populated nation.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The ENCORE project's $250M investment by the World Bank demonstrates the rapid implementation of centralized economic control systems in developing nations. The ability to instantly verify and control payments to public servants representing 40% of national spending shows how quickly financial systems can be consolidated under central authority. This aligns with prophetic expectations of eventual global economic control, particularly notable as it's being established in one of Africa's largest nations through international banking institutions, creating infrastructure that could easily integrate with future global systems.
