A monitoring report on public action in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) reveals that only 25% of government commitments made during ministerial councils between April and December 2025 were fully implemented. The findings were published on June 2, 2026, by a coalition of civil society organizations, with support from the Centre d’études pour l’action sociale (CEPAS).

The extended execution index stood at 47 out of 100, indicating both « a clear political will to steer governance » and « a significant gap between political impetus and actual implementation capacity ».

Christian Moleka, a member of the civil society coalition, noted that 70 key decisions were reviewed over the nine-month period. While 25% were fully executed, 45% were partially implemented, and 30% lacked documentation due to missing information.

The decisions covered critical sectors including security and institutional stability, economic and financial governance, natural resource management, institutional reforms, strategic diplomacy, and social policies.

The report highlights the DRC government’s persistent challenge in transforming decisions into tangible and sustainable outcomes. Structural reforms—especially those tied to institutional, economic, or social changes—showed the lowest execution rates, while conjunctural or security-related measures progressed more rapidly, Moleka explained.

A digital platform named « Jua 243 » was also introduced to enable real-time tracking of government actions.

Father Alain Nzadi, CEPAS director, emphasized that the study aims to « foster continuous improvement in governance » rather than to judge or celebrate public action. « We seek to provide decision-makers, partners, and citizens with analytical tools to better understand policy implementation dynamics », he stated.

He concluded: « This approach aligns with a constructive accountability model, where public decisions gain value when they can be monitored, evaluated, and assessed based on their concrete results. »
