State agents are being offered a major opportunity for biometric identification as part of an ambitious and necessary operation. Launched this Sunday in Beni, in the province of North Kivu, this major initiative aims to strengthen the transparency and efficiency of the state apparatus in terms of human resources management. This approach, led by a delegation from the Ministry of Civil Service from Kinshasa, consists of taking fingerprints and other personal data of the 2,800 agents and civil servants expected over the next eight days.
The main objective of this ambitious initiative is to enable the establishment of an exhaustive census of state agents. Indeed, by controlling the workforce and eliminating duplicates and fictitious agents, the government will be able to ensure better management of the payroll. This approach is part of a logic of rationalizing resources and fighting corruption within the public administration.
Through this biometric identification operation, each agent concerned will receive a personalized card containing their essential data, thus facilitating all administrative procedures related to their function. This card will be an essential tool to guarantee the traceability of State agents and will prevent any form of identity theft or fraud.
Beyond the strictly administrative dimension, this initiative also has a strong symbolic importance. Indeed, it demonstrates the will of the Congolese authorities to modernize and professionalize the state apparatus, by setting up innovative and efficient systems for better management of human resources.
In conclusion, the biometric identification operation of State agents and civil servants represents a significant step forward in the process of reforming public administration in the Democratic Republic of Congo. By combining administrative efficiency, transparency and the fight against fraud, this initiative demonstrates the government’s desire to promote responsible governance that complies with current standards.
