Title: The program of 145 territories in the DRC: a major challenge for local development
Introduction
Since coming to power, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, has placed the program of 145 territories as a priority for local development. With this in mind, a delegation from the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) went to Mbuji-Mayi, in the Orientale province, to assess the progress of this ambitious project. In this article, we will return to this mission of the IGF and the importance of the 145 territories program for the future of the DRC.
The 145 territories program: A national priority
The 145 territories program is a large-scale project which aims to promote local development throughout the Congolese territory. This involves setting up social, economic and health infrastructures in each territory in order to improve the living conditions of local populations. This program was supported from the start by the Head of State, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, who sees this as an opportunity to strengthen the balanced development of the country.
The IGF mission in Mbuji-Mayi: rigorous monitoring
The delegation of the General Inspectorate of Finance led by Victor Batubenga Pandamadi went to Mbuji-Mayi to assess the progress of the program of 145 territories in this region. The objective was to meet the Attorney General of the Orientale province, Maurice Kama, in order to discuss the constraints encountered on the ground and to find solutions to facilitate the implementation of the program. This mission demonstrates the IGF’s commitment to ensuring transparency and good management of the resources allocated to this major project.
The challenges and prospects of the 145 territories program
Although the 145 territories program represents a significant step forward for local development in the DRC, it nevertheless faces several challenges. Logistical constraints, financing problems and coordination between local actors are all factors that require rigorous management. However, despite these obstacles, this program offers many prospects for improving the living conditions of populations and promoting the local economy. It also constitutes an opportunity to strengthen national integration and reduce disparities between the different regions of the country.
Conclusion
The 145 territories program in the DRC is an ambitious project which aims to promote local development throughout the country. The IGF mission to Mbuji-Mayi demonstrates the government’s commitment to ensuring transparency and good management of resources allocated to this program. Despite the challenges that present themselves, this project represents a real opportunity for improving the living conditions of local populations and for promoting balanced and sustainable growth.
