To understand how it all holds together.
Mining and hydrocarbons rely on platforms run by different institutions. For GIZ, with the Ministries of Mines and of Environment, we examine how they hold together.

Who comes in, who works, who is paid: one truth.
For SOCIR S.A., we are putting in place an integrated management system (HIMS), delivered turnkey: it links the access-control barriers and the payroll of the refinery’s staff.

Animated illustration: people go through a turnstile, vehicles pass a barrier that lifts. Each passage is written into a single ledger, which is used to produce the payroll.
Cobalt · Quotas · Digital system
Every tonne, declared.
Since 16 October 2025, the DRC exports its cobalt under quotas. A quota only means something if every tonne is known: the system Kaditaj built for ARECOMS collects mining companies’ production and exports.

- Forecast how much of each quota every company will use, before the deadline.
- Automatically flag declarations that do not match export histories.
- Simulate the effect of a quota adjustment on world supply before deciding it.

Next, with AI
- Spot the gaps between what is declared and what moves, before they become losses.
- Anticipate flows by corridor and by operator to steer revenue.
- Answer operators in their own language, at any hour.
