The writing on the evolution of the territories of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Local Development Program could be as follows:
“The Local Development Program for the 145 territories of the Democratic Republic of Congo is at the heart of the concerns of the General Inspectorate of Finance. Set up by President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, this ambitious program aims to promote the development of the country through the decentralized territorial entities.
A delegation from the IGF visited the province of Kasai Oriental to assess the progress of the work in different territories and villages. Unfortunately, the situation in some places is disappointing, with administrative buildings under construction destroyed by the population due to the use of fired bricks instead of cement ones. In addition, the advanced state of disrepair of certain roads, such as National No. 1, constitutes a major obstacle to development.
Despite these difficulties, the delegation remains optimistic about the completion of the work and its impact on development. Victor Batubenga, Deputy Head of Service of the IGF, underlines the importance of these projects to improve the living conditions of citizens. He insists on the need to assess the quantity of materials used and is pleased to see that the inspectors have instruments to check the quality of the works.
Local officials are also aware of the constraints they face, including rising prices for building materials. Despite this, they recognize the importance of this work to guarantee good educational and health conditions for the inhabitants.
This evaluation of the work of the Local Development Program highlights the challenges and prospects of this ambitious project. Inspectors and local officials work hand in hand to ensure the success of this program and the development of the country
