One of President Tshisekedi’s first flagship measures was the establishment of free education at the primary level. This initiative has enabled more than 5 million students to be educated, making access to education a fundamental right for all Congolese children.
2. Free maternity: protection for mothers and children
President Tshisekedi also launched the free maternity program, aimed at reducing the high rate of maternal and infant mortality. This program, which will gradually be extended throughout the country, aims to ensure quality care for mothers and newborns, thus helping to improve the health of the Congolese population.
3. The military programming law: a solid and operational army
For the first time in the country’s history, the DRC adopted a military programming law under the leadership of President Tshisekedi. This law aims to strengthen the operational capacities of the Congolese army, allowing it to modernize and respond to the security challenges facing the country.

President Tshisekedi undertook public administration reform by mechanizing more than 135,000 agents in just two years, which represents a significant advance compared to the 10,000 agents mechanized over the previous 20 years. This reform makes it possible to improve the efficiency and transparency of the administration, for the benefit of all Congolese citizens.
5. Territorial development programs: fighting poverty and inequalities
President Tshisekedi launched development programs in the 145 territories of the DRC, aimed at improving the living conditions of rural populations. These initiatives contribute to reducing poverty and social inequalities, by promoting economic development and access to basic services.
6. School gardens to preserve the environment
Committed to the fight against global warming, President Tshisekedi initiated the school gardens project aiming to plant 1 billion trees by 2023. This concrete and ambitious project allows the DRC to actively contribute to the preservation of the environment while raising awareness among younger generations of the importance of protecting nature.
Conclusion :

From free education to the protection of mothers and children, including strengthening military capabilities and administrative reform, President Tshisekedi has set important milestones for the future of the country.
