Yav Musolo

Abstract: The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country facing the problem of local development, this is how it was promulgated organic law n ° 08/016 of October 07, 2008 relating to the composition, organization and functioning of decentralized territorial entities. This was designed with the aim of bringing the rulers closer to their constituents in view of the red tape observed in the actions taken by the leaders. Hence, local development is the only way to get the territorial entities of the DRC out of this underdevelopment.
