The term Fatshimetrie evokes a systemic approach centered on the actions of President Félix Tshisekedi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, reflecting his vision of development and governance. During the closing of the eleventh session of the Conference of Governors organized in Kalemie, the Head of State stressed the importance of strengthening provincial governance to ensure community cohesion, an essential element of the Local Development Plan 145-T (PDL-145T).
In a stimulating speech, Félix Tshisekedi called on governors to focus on tangible results, aligned with his six priority commitments. He encouraged innovation and pragmatism to instill a real and profound transformation within the provinces, anchored in a common vision of building a strong, prosperous and united Congo.
The President stressed the need for governors to be present on the ground, attentive to local realities, in order to measure the impact of public policies and strengthen the bonds of trust with citizens. In this regard, he recalled the rule of 20 days in the field and 10 days in the office as a fundamental principle of participatory and transparent governance.
Furthermore, Félix Tshisekedi stressed the importance of involving the population in the evaluation of key initiatives such as free basic education and universal health coverage, in particular free access to care for childbirth. This participatory approach aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of public resources, essential for responsible governance.
Faced with security challenges in some provinces, the President reaffirmed his determination to preserve order and stability by using his constitutional prerogatives if necessary. He called for the establishment of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of public actions, in order to preserve the general interest and institutional stability.
In conclusion, the Conference of Provincial Governors is emerging as a harmonious framework for consultation and harmonization between the central government and territorial entities, contributing to strengthening national unity and peace. The concept of Fatshimetrie, supported by Félix Tshisekedi, embodies an ambition for profound and transparent transformation, in the service of the Congolese people and the future of the nation.
