| description |
In its new Constitution, proclaimed on
February 18, 2006, the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(DRC) committed itself to reforming its administrative and
territorial architecture. Following this reform, the
country, which now has 11 provinces, will be subdivided into
26 provinces. According to constitutional provisions, the
transition from 11 to 26 provinces is to take place within
three years after the establishment of the third
Republic's main governing institutions. The Senate, the
final institution to be established, was set up in May 2007,
and the country's new administrative structure should
be implemented by May 2010 at the latest. The aim of this
study, which was carried out at the request of the
Government of the DRC and jointly financed by the World
Bank, the Belgian Development Cooperation, the European
Commission, and the United Nations Development Program
(UNDP), is an in depth analysis of the main aspects of the
decoupage process. It includes an assessment of the
administrative and institutional capacity of the new
provinces and an examination of their financial and
budgetary sustainability as well as of the economics of the
process. The results of the study were presented to a
validation workshop held in Kinshasa on July 16, 2008. The
workshop was organized by the Government of the DRC, and it
was attended by representatives of the President of the
Republic, the Prime Minister, the National Assembly, the
Senate, the Ministries of Decentralization, finance,
budgeting, and planning, representatives from the various
provinces involved in the decoupage process, and development
partners including the World Bank, UNDP, the Belgian
Development Cooperation, and the European Union. At the end
of the workshop, recommendations for rationalizing the
decoupage process in the DRC were made with a view to
maximizing efficiency. These recommendations are listed at
the end of each chapter in this study. |
