USAID IGA empowers a broadly inclusive set of nongovernmental actors to hold public officials accountable for better services by changing the incentives of officials at all levels of government to act in the best interests of the citizenry. IGA is implemented in five provinces – Kasai Central, Kasai Oriental, Lualaba, Haut Katanga, South Kivu – and the territory of Walikale. USAID IGA’s specific objectives are built around the interaction of the governance cycle as follows: Objective 1: Strengthen capacity of select government institutions to fulfill mandate; Objective 2: Target subnational entities to collaborate with citizens for more effective development; and Objective 3: Citizen demand for accountable, transparent, participatory services increased. During Quarter 2, IGA adjusted project activities due to COVID-19 restrictions. COVID-19 cases began affecting Kinshasa in mid-March and on March 24th, President Tshisekedi declared a state of emergency resulting in a ban of the majority of international and all domestic flights for up to 30 days. Travel restrictions were coupled with tightened control at all points of entry. These measures appear to have successfully limited the spread of the virus to the provinces to a large extent. While the restrictions led to several cancellations of project events, a good portion of activities were implemented by provincial IGA USAID.GOV IGA QUARTERLY REPORT – Q2 FY2020 | 3 staff members in collaboration with local stakeholders. Due to the inability to travel, two IGA Kinshasa technical staff members facilitating workshops in Lualaba and Sud Kivu were unable to return to Kinshasa. This proved to be beneficial for IGA as they have been able to continue work on activities in the provinces concentrating on the new decentralized territorial entities (ETDs) in Lualaba, Sud Kivu and Haut Katanga. This has helped to ensure start-up in these new entities continues smoothly under local management once the Kinshasa-based staff depart. Highlights for this period include a team visit to Butembo in Nord Kivu where the team met with local stakeholders leading to the subsequent opening of the Butembo office. A survey was also conducted to determine the needs of all four communes in Butembo and the nearby Chiefdom of Baswagha. A guide for ETDs on how to manage mining royalties was completed in Haut Katanga by a local civil society organization (CSO) with technical assistance provided by the project. After examination and approval from a variety of local stakeholders, the guide was submitted to the Provincial Assembly and the Provincial Government for validation. Two short-term consultancies were initiated this period -one on the management of the retrocession process and the other to identify approaches to promote economic growth. Both consultancies were put on hold due to COVID-19, as well as the political economy analysis (PEA) to identify new initiatives and promising actors at the national level and provincial level in the Nord and Sud Kivu. A potential public-private partnership (PPP) study was conducted in Lualaba, Haut Katanga, and Nord Kivu, but was cut short due to travel restrictions imposed by both Nord and Sud Kivu related to the encroaching virus. The assessment of grant applications by CSOs was completed and evaluations of successful applicants’ financial and administrative capacities were initiated. IGA subcontractor, Geopoll completed a series of surveys on local governments and surveys of schools and health centers. Local actors are now actively participating in and facilitating many project activities leading to what promises to be lasting sustainable practices.

  • District Du Haut Katanga
    CONTEXTE : District du Haut Katanga: Lubumbashi: • Du 01 au 02 octobre, il s’est tenu la réunion de la Tripartite Plus. Ces assises ont regroupé les Chefs d’Etat-Major des pays membres de la Tripartite Plus à savoir le Burundi, l’Ouganda, le Rwanda, et la RDC en présence (sous la facilitation) du Commandant de la Force de la MONUC et de l’Attaché de Défense des Etats-Unis en RDC. La prochaine réunion de la Tripartite Plus se tiendra à Kampala en Ouganda au mois de janvier 2008. • Le 02/10/07, la pluie qui s’est abattue dans la ville de Lubumbashi et ses environs, a causé de dégâts matériels dans certains quartiers. A Kipushi, une femme est décédée de suite d’électrocution par la foudre. • Selon les informations relayées par les partenaires, des tracasseries sont perpétrées par le chargé de l’antenne des Affaires humanitaires installé à Bukama à l’endroit des acteurs humanitaires notamment dans la réinstallation des sinistrés des inondations initiée par l’ONG locale AME. OCHA a saisi les autorités locales sur ce dossier. Grâce à cette intervention, MSF-B a pu poursuivre les travaux de forage des puits dans ce site. • De violentes manifestations organisées à Kolwezi par des creuseurs artisanaux se sont soldées par d’importants dégâts matériels dont l’incendie de quelques maisons des cadres de la GECAMINES. Ces manifestations font suite aux mesures prises par la GECAMINES portant interdiction de la vente, en dehors de cette entreprise, des minerais puisés dans sa concession. • Dans la nuit du 05/10/07, une femme a été violée par des hommes en uniforme au quartier Kalemuka, située à 7 km du centre ville de Lubumbashi.

  • Health Action in Crises Highlights No 193 – 28 January to 3 February 2008
    Health Action in Crises Highlights No 193 – 28 January to 3 February 2008 Each week, the World Health Organization Health Action in Crises in Geneva produces information highlights on critical health-related activities in countries where there are humanitarian crises. Drawing on the various WHO programmes, contributions cover activities from field and country offices and the support provided by WHO regional offices and headquarters. The mandate of the WHO departments specifically concerned with Emergency and Humanitarian Action in Crises is to increase the effectiveness of the WHO contribution to crisis preparedness and response, transition and recovery. This note, which is not exhaustive, is designed for internal use and does not reflect any official position of the WHO Secretariat. CHAD Assessments and Events • Fighting is ongoing in Ndjamena. Refugees are crossing into adjacent Cameroon. All UN non-essential staff have been evacuated. • In Abeche, the situation is calm but very tense and all non-essential staff are ready for evacuation. Adre is reportedly under attack. • Overall, 47 cases of meningitis and four deaths were notified between 8 October and 27 January. The latest case was reported last week in Farchana camp near Adré. So far, no district has reached the epidemic threshold. Case confirmation remains a problem as lumbar punctures are not systematic. • Since 1 January, 1300 cases of acute respiratory syndrome have been reported in the east. The number of cases notified in Oure Cassoni camp has risen from 162 between 14 and 20 January to 449 between 21 and 27 January. • From 1 December to 13 January, 73 cases of whooping cough were reported in the resident communities surrounding Gaga camp.

Within the context of the DRC’s ongoing peace consolidation and economic reconstruction, the main objectives of this assessment were to: (i) provide insight into and raise awareness of the key environmental and natural resource management challenges; and (ii) inform rational planning and help catalyse investments by the government and the international community. UNEP plans to follow up on its comprehensive DRC assessment by developing a country programme which will guide future interventions; this is a successful model implemented in over 10 post-conflict countries since 1999. Following the preparation of detailed scoping and desk studies, 14 separate reconnaissance field visits covering all provinces and eco-regions of the DRC were carried out by a joint UNEP- Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism (MECNT) team. The significant investment in fieldwork covering the whole country is one of the defining features of this assessment, which comprised extensive interviews and focus group discussions, site visits, photographic and video documentation, remote sensing and mapping, and in-situ field measurements as well as sampling for laboratory analysis.

    Jesus: God, the only God, or No God? A study of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ and Branhamism’s influence in Kolwezi, DRC MB MUFIKA Student ORCID.org/ 0000-0001-6004-2024 Thesis submitted for the fulfilment of the degree Philosophiae Doctor in Missiology at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Promoter: Prof. dr HG Stoker Graduation October 2017 http://www,nwu.ac.za/ PREFACE The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
