Titre : Decentralization and the DRC - An Overview Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Herbert F. Weiss, Auteur ; Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, Auteur Editeur : Center on International Cooperation Collection : Issue Paper num. No. 1 Importance : 10 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : décentralisation/gouvernance Résumé : The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has had a long and varied experience with different forms of decentralization. For a country the size of Western Europe with a population of about sixty million people with internal boundaries designed by Belgian colonial administrators, this should not be surprising. The DRC is above all else a multi-ethnic society, but over the years two new identities have emerged; first, a strong sense of state identity and, second, a growing sense of provincial identity. In other words, whereas years ago a Mukongo in western DRC would have felt that identity to be not only primary but probably exclusive of others, today he/she would also identify as a Congolese from Bas Congo Province. The 2006 Constitution of the DRC has maintained the subdivision of the country into 11 provinces inherited from the Mobutu regime. Prior to that the DRC first adopted a 6 province structure in turn inherited from Belgian colonial rule in 1960 and then transformed that into a 21 province structure in 1962. This shows that the leaders of the DRC have struggled with the problem of internal divisions and decentralization for many years. The current Constitution, however, adds two important new elements. First, decentralization will give more resources to the provinces than has been the case in the past. For example, each province will keep – not have reimbursed to them as was the case before – 40% of revenue it generates internally. Second, within a three-year period, the 11 provinces are mandated to be re-divided into 26. The boundaries of these 26 provinces will follow current administrative divisions mainly employing “districts” to form new provinces there where such modifications have not already been put in place (e.g. the long established transformation of Kivu into three provinces – North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema – are maintained and not further subdivided.

Titre : Extractive Industries: Their contribution to the Congo's Development Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Patricia Feeney, Auteur Editeur : Center on International Cooperation Collection : Issue Paper num. No. 2 Importance : 9 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ressources naturelles/secteur minier/gestion des ressources Résumé : The mining sector has dominated the Congolese economy and served as its engine of growth. In the mid-1980s, Gécamines had an annual turn over of around $1 billion, a cash flow of approximately $400 million, and production of 450,000 tonnes of copper a year. The annual contribution of the entire mining sector to GDP was eight to twelve per cent. By 2003, Gécamines produced about 10,000 tonnes of copper and its turnover had sunk to some tens of million of dollars.
This issues paper considers the importance of the minerals sector to the DRC?s economy; the factors that make the economy vulnerable to external shocks; problems with the management of the minerals sector as outlined in the DRC Senate's report; other challenges relating to the modes of production inter alia: past and present environmental problems; artisanal miners; issues concerning land acquisition and compensation levels for displaced communities; and preparations for a post-mineral future, „l'après-mine?.En ligne : http://www.cic.nyu.edu/peace_ssr/docs/Issue%20Paper%20No.%202%20-%20Natural%20Re [...] Extractive Industries: Their contribution to the Congo's Development [document électronique] / Patricia Feeney, Auteur . - Center on International Cooperation, [s.d.] . - 9 p. - (Issue Paper; No. 2) .

Titre : La Réforme du Secteur de la Sécurité en RDC: Enjeux Stratégiques Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Dylan Hendrickson, Auteur ; Missak Kassongo, Auteur Editeur : Center on International Cooperation Collection : Issue Paper num. No. 4 Importance : 11 p Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : conflits/secteur de la sécurité/réforme Résumé : Le but de cette présentation est de fournir quelques idées sur la manière de créer des conditions favorables à la réforme du secteur de la sécurité (RSS) en RDC. Au cours de la dernière décennie, la RSS est devenue un élément central de l’agenda international dans les États touchés par des conflits. Il existe un consensus croissant parmi les bailleurs sur la nécessité de mettre en place une RSS pour toute stabilisation et reconstruction efficaces. Depuis 2003, cette prise de conscience s’est traduite en RDC par une variété d’initiatives menées avec le soutien des bailleurs dans les secteurs de la police, de la défense et de la justice. Si certaines de ces initiatives ont pu paraître initialement prometteuses, globalement, les progrès en matière de RSS en RDC sont restés très limités.
