Only a quarter, or 25%, of the resolutions adopted by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC) during its cabinet meetings between April and December 2025 have been fully realized. This significant finding emerges from a public action monitoring report, unveiled this Tuesday, June 2, 2026, by a coalition of civil society organizations, with crucial backing from the Centre d’études pour l’action sociale (Cepas).

The comprehensive execution index for this period registered 47 out of 100. According to the report, this score indicates both a “pronounced political will to steer” and a “considerable gap between policy directives and the actual capacity for effective implementation.”

Christian Moleka, a key member of the civil society collective responsible for this monitoring initiative, disclosed that approximately 70 pivotal decisions were scrutinized over the nine-month span. Beyond the 25% of fully executed decisions, a further 45% were partially implemented. Disturbingly, about 30% of these decisions lacked proper documentation, primarily due to the unavailability of relevant information.

The evaluated governmental decisions encompassed a broad spectrum of vital areas. These included security and institutional stability, economic and financial governance, the stewardship of natural resources, institutional reforms, strategic diplomacy, and various social policies.

The study underscores a “persistent difficulty for the RDC government in translating its decisions into thoroughly observable and enduring outcomes.”

“Our analysis further demonstrates that the most far-reaching decisions, particularly those concerning institutional, economic, or social reforms, frequently exhibit the slowest rates of execution. In contrast, more immediate or security-related measures tend to advance with greater speed,” Christian Moleka explained.

In conjunction with the report, a new digital platform for government action oversight and tracking, named “Jua 243,” was launched. This innovative tool promises real-time monitoring of the government’s activities.

Father Alain Nzadi, the director of Cepas, clarified that the fundamental purpose of this study is not to pass judgment, impose penalties, or commend public actions.

“Instead, its aim is to foster the continuous improvement of governance by equipping decision-makers, partners, and citizens with analytical insights that enhance their understanding of policy implementation dynamics,” he affirmed.

He concluded by stating:

“These endeavors are firmly rooted in a philosophy of constructive accountability, premised on the belief that every public decision gains intrinsic value when it can be diligently tracked, thoroughly evaluated, and justly appreciated based on its concrete results.”
