Abstract:
This article starts from a constant according to which the classes of Kinshasa have become bloated because of the mismatch between the rhythm of the evolution of the school demand and the capacity of reception and possibility of supervision. An inadequacy justified by the state of the economies, especially the budgets allocated to education in the countries located south of the Sahara in which the Democratic Republic of Congo is located. In order to solve this large group problem in classrooms, a purely pedagogical solution is proposed in this work. This is group pedagogy. Teachers should therefore be trained in the pedagogy of large groups during retraining to enable them to take charge of these classes.

Abstract:
Kinshasa, capital of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), is facing serious noise problems caused by the expansion of transportation and the increase of traffic volume without any regulation or policy introduced. This social survey conducted in September 2017, is the first survey ever performed on road traffic noise in Kinshasa. Four sites along major roads were selected. Questionnaire survey was carried out by face to face interview and 235 samples were collected. A 24-hour noise measurement was conducted at a representative point of each road and the noise indices such as Lden were calculated. The Lden of the four sites were from 73 to 79 dB. The percentages of highly annoyed and highly sleep disturbed were from 30% to 41% and 38% to 52%, respectively. The higher percentages were observed in sites with the higher noise level. A logistic regression analyses were applied to plot the dose-response relationship for general annoyance. The result was close to EU curve and higher than that in Vietnam.

Abstract:
Introduction Breastfeeding has many benefits for both mothers and children. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. However, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, slightly under half of children under six months are exclusively breastfed. This study aimed to describe breastfeeding practices and to explore perceived social norms regarding breastfeeding among mothers in Kinshasa. Materials and methods A qualitative descriptive study was conducted in Kinshasa from June to July 2013. This study purposively sampled 54 mothers of infants aged 6 to 12 months, who participated in six focus group discussions. Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the discussion guide explored infant feeding in the first six months, knowledge of breastfeeding, perception of the feasibility of exclusive breastfeeding, and perception of the social norms with regard to exclusive breastfeeding. The content analysis approach was used to analyse data. Results Mothers had good breastfeeding knowledge; however, few of them had practised exclusive breastfeeding as recommended during the first six months. Exclusive breastfeeding was considered unfeasible in their context. Barriers to exclusive breastfeeding were reported as baby’s cries, social pressure, warm climate, and poor maternal diet. Social norms were supportive of breastfeeding but unfavourable to exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion In Kinshasa, mothers have a good knowledge of breastfeeding. However, few practise exclusive breastfeeding. Social pressure plays an important role in the cessation of exclusive breastfeeding before six months. In order to improve the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in this context, social and behaviour change programmes should target the entire population rather than mothers only.

Abstract:
En République démocratique du Congo, l’étude fait l’état des lieux de l’utilisation des énergies de cuisson par les ménages de Kinshasa et détermine le modèle énergétique de cette ville. Elle constitue une contribution à la réflexion sur la substitution du bois-énergie comme principale énergie de cuisson par des énergies propres. Le bois-énergie constitue un des moteurs de la déforestation et de la dégradation des forêts du Bassin du Congo. Une enquête quantitative a été menée auprès d’un échantillon de 1 154 ménages tirés aléatoirement dans la ville de Kinshasa. Ces ménages ont été subdivisés en trois classes de revenu : bas, moyen et élevé. Il ressort des résultats de l’étude que les ménages de Kinshasa utilisent six énergies pour la cuisson des aliments à des proportions différentes. Il s’agit de la sciure de bois (2,6 %), du bois de chauffe (14 %), du charbon de bois (95 %), du pétrole lampant (12 %), de l’électricité (60 %) et du gaz de pétrole liquéfié (4 %). Le rapprochement fait des données recueillies au modèle d’échelle énergétique, modèle qui indique que le ménage passe à des énergies de niveau supérieur à mesure que son revenu s'améliore, n’a pas permis de valider ledit modèle, car les ménages à niveau de revenu moyen n’utilisent pas plus que les autres classes les énergies de transition (charbon de bois et pétrole). De même, le rapprochement des données au modèle d’empilement d’énergies, modèle qui stipule que quand le revenu augmente le ménage a tendance à accroître le nombre d’énergies utilisées sans pour autant abandonner les anciennes, n’a pas permis de valider ce modèle étant donné que seuls les ménages à niveau de revenu élevé empilent davantage les énergies. La politique de réduction de l’utilisation du bois-énergie devrait être basée sur l’amélioration de la desserte en électricité ainsi que la promotion de l’utilisation du GPL.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article considers humour at the international border between Kinshasa (DR Congo) and Brazzaville (Republic of Congo) as a means through which ordinary people navigate between fulfilling the values of individual opportunism and interpersonal responsibility. Kinshasa's border zone, nicknamedRome, often echoes with laughter as people who engage in unregulated livelihood strategies (Romains) engage in two genres of humour: verbal irony, expressed in nicknames for people, places and activities; and interpersonal joking, expressed in playful teasing. Laughter and jokes are a prevailing mode of interaction at the border, and the ways in which humour is constructed and experienced reveal much about social and moral life. The jokes define membership of a community ofRomainsdistinct from other urban citizens, while making further distinctions between physically disabled people, who dominate trade as intermediaries, and others by playing with hierarchical social relationships in which disabled people are expected to be subordinate. Ultimately, the humour that shapes the community allows for a critical voice on values within it. This article argues that the inconsistencies pinpointed by humour reflect and shape the instability of social relationships and contradictory values thatRomainsaspire to fulfil. Humour is a means of navigating critical commentary on the conflicting values of individual aspiration and responsibility towards others.

Abstract:
Introduction: Sub-Saharan African communities bear the highest burden of HIV/AIDS in the world. Because of identifiable cultural links and local beliefs, people are more likely to engage in sexual mores that could negatively impact their life. Starting in early 2000, Congolese HIV+ patients have undergone a variety of medico-social inputs designed to decrease risky behaviors among people in the program and their family members. Goals: This inquiry aimed to understand how PLWHs assess the influence of community-based incentives within their society, as primarily conceived to improve daily behaviors of each person living with HIV (PLWH), and a few selected family members with unknown HIV-serostatus. Methods: From December 2020 to March 2021, a cross-sectional study was engaged to gather qualitative-driven information from nine in-depth interviews, three focus groups, and two key-informant interviews. Changes were self-assessed through data gotten from 2004-2014 in sexual cleansing, levirate and sororate marriage, Kintwidi phenomenon, stigma and discrimination, sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) and female genital mutilation (FGM), unprotected receptive vaginal or anal intercourse, and behavioral rejection of condoms throughout a decade of Congolese Community-based Interventions (CBIs) implemented from 2004. Grounded on the socioecological model (SEM), this ethnographic study was based on the meaning of the influence of CBIs on cultural behaviors among PLWHs for HIV/AIDS prevention purposes. Results: Data from Kinshasa and Bandundu were coded and analyzed through NVivo R1 and Excel, showing significant negative sentiments for all eight key-cultural components in PLWHs. Conclusion: Out of the holistic approach employed to tackle HIV/AIDS in communities, the comprehensive strategy enabled for social change in Congo-Kinshasa brought specific impactful insights in terms of behavior according to interviewed PLWHs. Findings could be used to inform further preventive activities to alleviate any community HIV burden in sub-Saharan Africa.

Contexte et objectifs. La perte de dents appelée édentement affecte la mastication, la parole, l’esthétique, le comportement social et la qualité de vie. L’objectif de la présente étude était d’évaluer la fréquence et les determinants de l’édentement partiel (EP) chez les adultes dans les institutions médico-dentaires de Kinshasa. Méthodes. C’était étude transversale analytique conduite entre octobre 2019 et juillet 2021 dans quelques institutions médico-dentaires de Kinshasa auprès des patients adultes congolais. Les variables d’intérêts étaient la fréquence et les causes de l’EP, les facteurs sociodémographiques et la présence du diabète et/ou de l’hypertension artérielle (HTA). Les déterminants de l’EP ont été recherchés par l’analyse de régression logistique multivariée. Résultats. Quatre cent vingt sept patients ont été inclus. Leur âge moyen était de 37,9 ±15,4 ans. La fréquence de l’EP était de 71%. Seul le statut diabète et/ou hypertension a été indépendamment associé à l’EP (ORa : 23,8 ; IC 95% : 3,2-174,8). Conclusion. La fréquence de l’EP était très élevée chez les adultes, influencée par la presence du diabète et/ou HTA. English title: Frequency and determinants of partial edentulism in adults in medico-dental institutions in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo Context and objectives. Tooth loss called edentulism affects people chewing, speech, aesthetic, social behavior and quality of life. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of partial edentulism (PE) of adults in medico-dental centers in Kinshasa. Methods. This analytic cross-sectional was conducted between October 2019 and July 2021 in sole medico-dental centers of Kinshasa with Congolese adult patients. Variables of interest were prevalence and cause of PE, sociodemographic status, and the presence of diabetes and/or high blood pressure (HBP). PE determinants were sought by multiple logistic regression. The significant threshold was p<0,05. Results. Four hundred twenty-seven patients were involved. The mean age was 37,9±15,4 years. The prevalence of PE was 71%. Diabetes and/or HBP were the sole determinant independently associated with PE (ORa: 23.8; CI 95 %: 3.2- 174.8). Conclusion. The prevalence of PE was very high among adults, influenced by diabetes and/or HBP. Keywords: Congolese adults, Determinants, Partial edentulous

Les Européens (Belges, Grecs et Italiens) du Katanga, dont le nombre s’est considérablement réduit au cours de la période post-coloniale, forment aujourd’hui le groupe le plus puissant de l’économie de la région.

If the number of Europeans (Belgians, Greeks and Italians) living in Katanga has considerably decreased during the post-colonial period, they represent today the most powerful entrepreneurial group of the local economy. Once considered the troubles they came across since independence, why did they remain in the Congo? How did they develop their business in a declining economy, in process of marginalization, and in a patrimonial political structure, which proves to be more and more unstable? Finally, what is their place and role in Congolese society? These are the three questions this thesis tries to give an answer. Through the chapters, it studies the migration of expatriates in Africa, their relationship with Congolese society, the dynamics of their community, their role in the two most important sectors of Katanga, and the way they interact with the agents of the State. For this purpose, it rests upon a fieldwork research led between 2003 and 2004.

Abstract:
Sustaining splendid health has always been a wish for every employee of any formal organisation. If health is not excellent, employees are likely not to function as expected hence it is imperative to have social health insurance. This article reports on the findings derived from a research conducted in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. The researcher personally distributed structured questionnaires among employees in 15 organisations. Findings show that the majority of the respondents experience problems in organizing their health care where it emerged that, 1) the majority of the employees from public sector are not assisted in organizing their health care, 2) they use out-out-pocket financing means for their health care, 3) in general, employees from public sector are not aware of health insurance and interestingly employees from mix companies and private sector are knowledgeable on health insurance, 4) respondents with post matric qualifications prefer to use private hospital when they are sick, 5) employees choose health facility based on good quality service provided. In general, it emerged from the findings that there is willingness to pay contribution should the social health insurance be introduced.

Abstract:
In recent years, the concept of poverty has shifted away from a narrow definition—caloric intake based poverty—to a much broader one that places emphasis on a variety of factors, such as health, education, income, and powerlessness. Most researchers agree that eliminating poverty requires a holistic approach that is attentive to promoting pro-poor growth, creating opportunities for employment, ensuring that the fruits of growth reach impoverished communities, and protecting vulnerable segments of the impoverished population. This study looks the role of microcredits, which has received increasing attention as a means to combat poverty. The advent of neoliberalism led to advances in autonomous markets, commodification, market-led growth, and the dissolution of the Keynesian welfare state. Microcredit growing out of a neoliberal shift plays a powerful role as an instrument to fight poverty, especially in the age government and state failure, entrepreneurial expansion and self-employment income-earing opportunities. Microcredit programs are of great interest to governments, non-governmental organization, and banks because of their potential for reducing poverty. Critics of the microcredit movement argue that microcredit does little besides replacing existing informal credit arrangements to fund subsistence activity, which they view as having little or no prospect of growth. They argue that support of microcredit may over anticipate its benefits, such as the alleviation of poverty and female empowerment. This study assesses the effectiveness of microcredit combined asset building as a pro-growth approach to reduce poverty sustainably in Kinshasa. The recent crises of over-indebtedness in several markets and Kinshasa have fueled growing concern that microcredit may be getting borrowers into trouble. However, my study findings show that assets, specifically microcredit, can stem the poverty cycle and better enable individuals to "stand on their own two feet"socio-economically if combined with other innovative programs. This study uses the test of significance to assess the effectiveness microcredit integrated asset building.

Abstract:
Cette recherche porte sur les enfants de la rue à Kinshasa. Nous avons choisi d’étudier les rapports des enfants des rues aux institutions d’accueil à travers leurs pratiques d’entrées et de sorties de ces institutions. Une première phase de terrain a été menée à Kinshasa au sein de quatre institutions d’accueil, nous avons observé les pratiques de ces quatre institutions et interrogé des jeunes ayant recours à ces va-et-vient. Dans un second temps, le terrain a porté sur l’une de ces institutions. Deux notions ont constitué l’axe central de cette observation participante : celle de la reconnaissance et celle de l’autonomisation. En invitant les enfants à construire les conduites, les pratiques, et les stratégies qui leur paraissent les mieux adaptées à leurs besoins, l’institution intègre ces deux dimensions dans les modalités de réinsertion sociale qu’elle propose. Les pratiques de responsabilités partagées, telles que la prise en charge des plus jeunes par les plus âgés, la participation des enfants à l’élaboration du règlement intérieur, illustrent la mise en œuvre de cette orientation de l’institution. Toutefois, certains enfants considèrent que l’institution ne leur accorde pas suffisamment d’autonomie, ni de reconnaissance. Certains leaders dans la rue ne sont pas reconnus comme tels. Des décisions sont imposées aux enfants, sans les consulter et sans tenir compte de leur expérience. Certains enfants se détournent alors de l’institution pour retourner dans la rue. Cette recherche montre que les attentes de certains enfants insuffisamment prises en compte sont une des causes de leur insatisfaction qui conduit à leur mobilité
This study deals with street children in Kinshasa. It focuses on the relationship between street children and host institutions, especially as children get in and out of these shelters. Fieldwork was initially carried out in Kinshasa within four host institutions, with a particular emphasis on observation and interviews of young people who use them on a regular basis. One particular institution was then selected for an in-depth observation. Two concepts informed this participant observation: recognition and empowerment. By inviting young people to develop behaviors, practices, and strategies that best fit their needs and benefit them, the host institution integrates the two aforementioned concepts in the way it socially rehabilitates these children. In addition, the institution further enforces its principles through shared responsibilities when, for instance, older children mentor younger ones and participate in establishing the institution’s internal rules. Yet, some children believe that the institution does not empower them enough or provide them with enough recognition. Some « streets leaders » feel they are not given proper recognition. Decisions are made without consulting them or soliciting their street experience. When that happens, some children withdraw from the institution to resume life on the street. Therefore, the aim of this study is to show that when children’s expectations are not sufficiently taken into consideration, there is likely to be a higher level of dissatisfaction and low retention rates

Abstract:
Le paludisme grave de l’enfant est une maladie potentiellement mortelle dans de nombreuses zones tropicales et subtropicales. Sa prise en charge nécessite des moyens coûteux et pèse lourdement sur l’économie des ménages. En République Démocratique du Congo, les ménages sont obligés de débourser directement les frais de prise en charge, faute de la quasi-inexistence de la sécurité sociale. En dépit de la conférence d’Abidjan 2001, demandant aux chefs d’Etats africains de consacrer 15% des budgets nationaux à la santé, le budget alloué à la santé en RDC reste faible. La charge financière s’est transférée graduellement sur les ménages qui sont paupérisés à l’extrême. La subvention de l’Etat seule ne suffit plus à subvenir aux besoins de la population.

Cette étude se veut qualitative dans la mesure où, elle cherche à appréhender les véritables raisons qui soutiennent l'existence des associations des malades du sida malgré les moyens précaires qu'elles disposent. Elle vise en outre, d'étudier les différents itinéraires que les malades empruntent pour se faire soigner. Enfin, cette étude veut placer la sociologie au cœur des analyses scientifiques sur la maladie, et particulièrement le sida
This study aims at shedding some light on the social realities of HIV/Aids that doctors and patients associations face, and on the patients' representations and beliefs in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. In order to do so; we bring an analysis of the different therapeutic trajectories of these patients confronted with difficulties due the lack of access to health care and proper medical information about their disease.Thus, the absence of a coherent health policy in a country with 70 billions of citizens,among whom 12 billions of them live in Kinshasa itself, constitutes an impediment for implementing different strategies in which social workers (doctors, associations, partners) try to against HIV/Aids.The health care system, supposed to help creating concrete actions in combating this disease, still remains not efficient enough and fails to assist patients.Given the wait see attitude of public authorities towards health, the economical crisis and the demography growth, Kinshasa has become place where the HIV/Aids contamination rate grows exponentially

Abstract:
Ce travail propose une description systématique du Lumbu. Cette langue est parlée au Gabon et au Congo. Nous avons porté notre choix sur la variété parlée à Mayumbu ; dans la partie septentrionale du Gabon.Notre approche a porté sur deux niveaux d'analyse suivants : la phonologie et la morphologie de cette langue. Le système phonologique décrit les phonèmes selon le critère de pertinence. En effet, cette première partie décrit le système consonantique et vocalique du lumbu. L'inventaire des phonèmes qui caractérisent la structure même de la langue nous a permis de répertorier seize phonèmes consonantiques et dix phonèmes vocaliques répartis de façon équitable sur la durée de réalisation des voyelles. Cependant, le système vocalique ne comporte pas de voyelles nasales. On note plutôt un phénomène de nasalisation favorisée par la présence d'une consonne nasale placée après la voyelle.La structure syllabique est caractérisée par des syllabes ouvertes c'est-à-dire qu'on ne retrouve pas de consonne en finale de mot. Nous bouclons cette partie par la description du système tonal. Il comporte deux tons simples / H/ (haut), /B / (bas) et deux tons modulés: /Mt / (montant) /Dt/ (descendant). La structure morphologique est envisagée sous deux angles ce qui nous a permis de faire ressortir les caractéristiques morphologiques de chacun des domaines. La description morphologique s'emploie à identifier les différents thèmes nominaux et les différentes structures verbales.La dérivation est relevée aussi bien dans le domaine lexical que verbal. Tout au long de notre travail, nous avons procédé à une analyse dérivationnelle en partant de la forme de base jusqu'à la forme réalisée. Cette façon de faire met en avant les différentes étapes du processus dérivationnel. Les nominaux sont identifiés par rapport aux classes nominales. Le Lumbu compte quatorze classes nominales qui fonctionnent par des appariements singulier /pluriel. Parmi les nominaux nous avons relevé les pronoms, les adjectifs qui se distinguent par la chaîne des accords.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the concepts of social and environmental justice in the context of solid waste management in Kinshasa and the critical factors accounting for injustice in this context. The investigation followed an examination of the relevant theoretical framework(s) and mechanisms that would facilitate the attainment of social and environmental justice in the city of Kinshasa, DRC. It was argued that social justice and environmental justice are a global challenge, and that efforts to address these challenges are usually biased towards employing eurocentric frameworks that are unfit to deal with the reality of environmental problems in a developing country scenario. The use of eurocentric urban development and planning approaches, which in most cases are outdated, have significantly propagated issues of spatial inequality in the distribution of solid waste burdens and have contributed to worsening justice concerns in many cities in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. It has been illustrated in this study that social justice and environmental justice in the context of solid waste management must be seen as intrinsically connected, as both concepts emphasise the need for empirical understandings grounded in local contexts. Social and environmental justices play fundamental roles in the theoretical construction of principles that can contribute to a sustainable community, thereby ensuring that the rights and needs of individuals in a society are met. In the context of solid waste, the concepts of social justice and environmental justice are compelling because of their focus on ensuring equal service delivery in solid waste collection and disposal, while simultaneously redressing previous imbalances. Walker (2009) argues that the principles of environmental and social justice and sustainable development are more generally in their infancy in sub-Saharan Africa, and few implementing agencies and practitioners have a clear understanding of how to translate these global principles into practice. It is not surprising, therefore, that unresolved issues around sustainable development and environmental justice have emerged in a period during which implementation and the real implications of following a justice pathway have overwhelmed many urban managers in sub-Saharan African cities (Patel 2009). Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods together with system thinking and system dynamics modelling principles as integral frameworks in understanding the complexity in solid waste management, it has been demonstrated that solid waste management in Kinshasa, like in many Congolese cities, is a duty entrusted to publicly-funded municipal authorities. There is a clear divide and evidence in the manner by which solid waste is managed between the rich and poor neighborhoods of the city. The rich neighbourhoods seem to enjoy well-formulated systems of service delivery, in contrast with high-density areas, where almost 80% of the population in Kinshasa resides. This state of affairs is a result of inequalities that exist between the more powerful wealthy class and the disempowered poor people of the urban society in Kinshasa. Furthermore, cultural theory paradigms and conceptual System Dynamics (SD) modelling principles were employed to establish how the stakeholders in the form of four social solidarities (fatalist, hierarchist, individualist and egalitarian) influence solid waste management in the city and how they interact with each other dynamically. Based on this inter-linkage, interaction and causal feedback relations, a politico-cultural mechanism was evolved to enable changes to social and environmental injustices in solid waste management in Kinshasa, DRC. It was argued that a cultural theory inspired participative and collaborative mechanisms could result in the incorporation of a majority of the stakeholders in the decision making and implementation of solid waste management, adoption of technologies and innovative ways of managing solid waste, which could prompt social and environmental justice in solid waste management in Kinshasa, DRC. The findings of the study have both theoretical and practical implications. They provide a thorough discourse on environmental justice in solid waste management and how cultural theory paradigm can offer a new dimension to the theories behind stakeholder’s participation in local development and management matters, particularly with respect to social and environmental injustice in solid waste management in sub-Saharan African cities. They also explicitly show how the various social solidarities could work dynamically in an integrated manner, and enable development of policy intervention mechanisms to resolve the solid waste management challenges and attain social and environmental justice through their effective collaboration, and participation, although this may be through compromises and tradeoffs in place of consensus. This paradigm could assist government agencies like municipalities to develop appropriate policy interventions and implementation strategies to resolve solid waste management challenges in sub-Saharan African cities in general and in the Democratic Republic of Congo in particular.

Abstract:
Rainfall time series data from three sites (Kinshasa, Luki, and Mabali) in the western Democratic Republic of Congo were analyzed using regression analysis; rainfall intensities decreased in all three sites. The Congo Basin waters will follow the equation y = -20894x + 5483.16; R2 = 0.7945. The model suggests 18%-loss of the Congo Basin water volume and 7%-decrease for fish biomasses by 2025. Financial incomes generated by fishing will decrease by 11% by 2040 compared with 1998 levels. About 51% of women (N= 408,173) from the Lake Tumba Landscape fish; their revenues decreased by 11% between 2005 and 2010. If this trend continues, women's revenues will decrease by 59% by 2040. Decreased waters will severely impact women (e.g. increasing walking distances to clean waters). Increasing populations and decreasing waters will lead to immigrations to this region because water resources will remain available and highly likely ignite social conflicts over aquatic resources.
