The 11th Carmignac Photojournalism Award on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—was granted to Canadian-British photographer Finbarr O’Reilly.
The current global health crisis has inspired this year’s laureate, Finbarr O’Reilly, and the Carmignac Photojournalism Award team to create, ‘Congo In Conversation,’ a new digital project produced in collaboration with Congolese photographers and journalists based in cities across Congo. This supplemental reportage showcases the Congolese perspective on life during the pandemic told through photography, video, and written reports published on a dedicated website, and through Carmignac Photojournalism Award social networks. |

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, mid-March, 2020. An empty classroom in Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital. Congolese authorities closed schools and shut down major commercial activities to enforce social distancing. Many people weren’t taking precautions and didn’t believe the virus was a threat to them during the early days of the pandemic.

CONGO IN CONVERSATION
The 11th Carmignac Photojournalism Award project explores — with cautious optimism — the future of the Democratic Republic of Congo, documenting the harsh realities that have impeded progress in this long-exploited country. Within the context of the coronavirus pandemic, the project is turning its attention to how the Congolese are coping with the worst global health crisis in a century — in addition to managing the second-deadliest Ebola epidemic in history and the world’s deadliest measles outbreak.
Through its network of contributors working in compliance with professional journalistic ethics and standards, the Carmignac Award’s Congo project documents human rights and environmental issues, providing in-depth reportages, snapshots of daily life and struggles in this huge country, as it faces an unprecedented health crisis.

Congo has one of the highest rates of informal workers in the world with about 80 per cent of urban workers involved in the informal economy, according to the World Bank. The Trade Union Confederation of Congo estimates that nationally the informal economy represents an astronomical 97.5 per cent of all workers.
