Abstract
This paper analyses the effect of energy poverty on the Democratic Republic of Congo's participation in value chains over the period 1999-2020. Using the ARDL method. Our main result is that energy poverty worsens the Democratic Republic of Congo's participation in value chains in both the short and long term. Our result remains stable even when we change the measure of participation in value chains. This shows that energy poverty handicaps the Democratic Republic of Congo's participation in upstream and downstream value chains. We conclude with suggestions for improving access to energy, income, and the need to increase industrial enterprises to increase participation in GVCs.
