The governance reform project of REGIDESO and SNEL S.A. is a critical initiative for enhancing public services in the Democratic Republic of Congo. President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi recently emphasized the importance of strengthening these entities to ensure efficient water and electricity distribution across the country.
Taking place within the current presidential term, this reform aims to tackle governance and access challenges related to basic services. The primary goal is to enhance the living standards of Congolese citizens by boosting the effectiveness of public services. The President insists on appointing managers based on their skills to establish transparent and fair governance practices.
Recent complaints from the population have highlighted deficiencies in the services provided by REGIDESO and SNEL S.A. The lack of efficiency and quality in water and electricity distribution directly impacts people’s daily lives. Therefore, improving governance focused on efficiency and quality is crucial to meet the population’s needs.
Enhancing these public services requires a comprehensive reform of the Management Committees. President Tshisekedi stresses the implementation of a performance-based management approach, ensuring that staff, whether active or inactive, are chosen based on their competencies. This strategy will lead to better resource management and improved service distribution.
Close collaboration between government authorities and the Public Enterprise Reform Steering Committee is essential for implementing these measures. Establishing a robust conceptual framework supported by appropriate regulatory measures is vital to sustain the reforms and ensure their effective execution.
Ultimately, the governance reform of REGIDESO and SNEL S.A. is a significant step towards enhancing public services in the DRC. By reinforcing transparency, efficiency, and quality in services, the government is committed to meeting the population’s expectations and fostering the country’s sustainable development.
