The Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation (FDNT) recently held a landmark event in Kinshasa on Tuesday, December 10, where it presented its new education-focused strategy. This decision marks an important turning point for the foundation, which has now chosen to focus its efforts on a single essential pillar: education.
Indeed, after a period of five years structured around different lines of action, the FDNT has decided to direct all its energies towards the promotion of education. This new orientation is part of a broader vision of development and social transformation, led by First Lady Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi.
During the event, the Coordinator of the FDNT, Joël Makubikua, stressed the importance of this strategic decision. According to him, the educational deficit and the lack of access to information are among the main challenges facing the population. By focusing the foundation’s efforts on education, it is possible to respond more effectively to these major challenges.
The new FDNT strategy is based on three key principles: alignment with national and international education objectives, refocusing the foundation’s actions on this single pillar, and the positive social impact that quality education can have on society as a whole.
Concretely, the FDNT is considering several ambitious initiatives to promote education. These include strengthening the leadership of young girls and adolescents, promoting their access to education and vocational training, and encouraging them to engage in the fields of science and technology. In addition, the foundation is committed to combating obstacles to education, such as gender-based violence, neglected tropical diseases, and cultural barriers.
This new FDNT strategy is based on the mobilization of all actors involved in the field of education, including private and public partners. The commitment of the First Lady and her office, as well as close collaboration with the foundation’s partners, will be essential for the successful implementation of these initiatives.
In conclusion, the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation’s decision to focus on education marks an important step in its commitment to social development and the empowerment of young girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This ambitious new strategy promises to have a significant impact on Congolese society and contribute to building a better educated, more informed and stronger generation for the future.
