### Digitization of recipes in Kisangani: a step towards tshopo transparency
On June 9, 2025, a significant advance for the province of Tshopo was carried out in Kisangani with the delivery of dashboards to provincial ministers, with the aim of strengthening transparency and performance of the mobilization of revenues. This important moment, underlined by the presence of the Minister of Finance, His Excellency Paulin Lendongolia Lebabonga, illustrates a potential turning point towards the improvement of public finance management in this region in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
#### Transparency tool
The event is part of a context where the need to account for public resources and improving financial management has become crucial. The implementation of the E-Tax platform, presented as an essential instrument for digitizing, securing and maximizing revenue, offers technological support for this ambition.
The interim governor, Senold Tandia, notably insisted on the importance of professional ethics and moral probity, stressing that any fraudulent maneuver would not be tolerated. This discourse aims to establish a climate of trust and integrity, essential in a region where corruption and lack of transparency have long hampered development efforts.
#### A link with technological innovation
The integration of Technocom for the development of the E-Tax system is also a commitment to technological innovation. The possibility of accessing detailed financial information in real time could transform the way in which provincial ministers and public managers make their decisions. The ability to follow the evolution of revenues in real time and quickly identify income sources or deficits could thus promote better responsiveness to economic challenges.
Nevertheless, the optimism aroused by such an advance must be accompanied by an in -depth reflection on the way in which these tools will be used. Secure and personalized access to the platform, although innovating, must be associated with adequate training for users to ensure good understanding and optimal use. Raw data are not enough; They require an informed interpretation and an ability to act accordingly.

The implementation of the E-Tax system and the delivery of dashboards should not mask the reluctance that may exist in the face of such a transition. Indeed, digitization introduces challenges linked to the adaptation of mentalities and working practices. Managers, often used to conventional methods, could come up against difficulties in handling these new tools. Thus, awareness and training programs must be considered to guarantee effective integration.
In addition, the question of technological infrastructure is of great importance. In some regions, internet access is limited, and the development of IT skills may vary sharply. Provincial authorities and Technocom society will therefore have to take these disparities into consideration to prevent digitalization from digging even more inequalities between different territories.
#### Conclusion: to a promising future?
In short, the delivery of dashboards and the launch of the E-Tax platform in Kisangani represent a significant advance in the quest for more transparent and effective financial management in TSHOPO. The intentions displayed by the authorities are laudable, and the instruments put in place could offer a framework conducive to improving the mobilization of revenues.
However, as with any reform, successes will be a function of the true commitment of the actors concerned to use these tools ethically and responsible. The fight against corruption and the development of a culture of transparency are not decreed: they are built step by step, with the support of all stakeholders.
It remains to observe how this initiative will be implemented in the field and what lessons will be learned for the future of public management in the province of Tshopo. The road to optimal use of digital tools is still long, but it represents a tangible hope for more responsible management of public resources.
