Congolese civil society has launched a political platform called “Alternative pour un Congo Nouveau” with the aim of bringing together, federating and organizing alternative citizen and political forces. This platform aims to develop a common governance program so that the concrete and achievable solutions proposed can improve the living conditions of the Congolese.
Beyond the political community, “Alternative for a New Congo” aspires to contribute to the responsible management of the country’s institutions by changing the paradigm of governance. Therefore, this platform aims to end the existing predatory governance system in the DRC. The system in question is characterized by corruption, embezzlement of public funds, clientelism, non-respect of fundamental texts, in particular the Constitution, tribalism, regionalism, violence and the concept of moral authority.
The objective being to propose an alternative political offer elaborated with the citizens to solve the real problems which the Congolese are confronted with and to improve their living conditions, certain civil society organizations have already signed their adhesion to this political movement.
In a context where the economic and social situation in the DRC is still precarious, the political platform “Alternative for a New Congo” offers an opportunity to revitalize governance and above all to fight against injustice. The Congolese are therefore waiting to see how this platform could build a better future for them, in the face of the economic, social and political challenges that persist in the country.
