Science and innovation are essential to achieve the SDGs, provided they are grounded in an integrated, human-centred approach that leaves no one behind.

The Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) is the focal point of the United Nations in these fields. It is a forum to inform and debate the vital trends related to Science, technology and Innovation (STI) in the economy, the environment and society; any lessons learnt as well as good practices can be shared between countries. Equally, the CSTD analyses how STI, including information and communication technologies (ICT), serve to facilitate the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Between June 11 and July 12, several consultations were held with state and non-state actors to collect data on which we will base the assessment of the implementation of the UNCAC by the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Noted that the third wave of Covid-19 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with Kinshasa as its epicenter, forced the Congolese government to take certain measures, including minimum service in the public administration, which did not facilitate our work and our planned meetings. Despite some physical meetings, we were forced to conduct our interviews by telephone and e-mail.

The absence of the access to information law also made our work a bit difficult. Our correspondence for interviews, discussions, and exchanges is still being processed in several state and non-state agencies in this slow period.

To mark the INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST DRUG USE AND ILLICIT TRAFFICKING OF DRUGS, the Centre for Research and Information on Substance Abuse spent the day conversing with officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Akwa Ibom State Command. These officers were drawn from all custodial centres in Akwa Ibom and it was awesome learning about the implementation of non custodial sentences. A vast majority of people who are incarcerated have a history of harmful alcohol, tobacco, and/or illicit drug use. Some discontinue the use of these substances while in custody. However, others including some people who inject these substances continue to use in prison, typically in avoidably high-risk circumstances. Effective measures to reduce the incarceration of people who use drugs, and to minimize drug-related harms both in prison and after release from custody, are urgently required.

The Issue of Child Abuse.

Child abuse is the physical, sexual, or psychological maltreatment of a child, especially by a parent or a caregiver. Affected individuals feel like an outcast and face stigmatization, alongside lifelong damages to the physical and mental health of an individual. Children are the victims of abuse and should not be blamed.

Types of Child Abuse

* Physical Abuse

* Sexual Abuse

* Emotional Abuse

* Child Neglect

Parents/Guardians should take the following steps to stop child abuse:

* Understand your child

* Watch your words

* Keep your children healthy

* Take a time out/Get close to your kids

* Get control of yourself before rendering any discipline to a child

Low institutional integrity, which includes corruption, constitutes one of the major obstacles to development. It has harmful and devastating implications, particularly for the poor and disadvantaged groups. It undermines citizens’ trust into public institutions, distorts markets and increases poverty, discrimination and inequality. Corruption happens simply because it is possible to happen and solutions to prevent corruption are focused to unable corrupt behavior within organizations.

CERC’s provides training and mentoring on building institutional integrity and anti-corruption helping local governments, ministries, agencies, public enterprises, private businesses, civil society organizations etc. to build integrity and to eliminate, minimize and prevent systemic corruption.

In 2017, CERC in partnership with Dynamic OpenGov Technologies SL (DYNTRA) has developed an online Municipal Transparency Index that aims to measure in real time the level of transparency of the 191 municipalities in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a dynamic, efficient, transparent, open and collaborative manner.

In DRC, as in many developing countries, vital public healthcare resources meant for the poor is stolen by corruption. Generous donations and government funds which are meant to save the lives of sick babies, suffering from curable diseases like malaria, are “lost” or diverted before it ever reaches them. As a result, poor mothers are forced to choose between buying food or paying illegitimate fees to obtain life-saving medicine for their sick child.

Solution

The HESA program reduces corruption and improves healthcare by analysing patients reports of corruption submitted through TrueFootprint’s FieldApp. These reports are then categorized, consolidated, tracked, visualized and forwarded to community groups and volunteers for follow-up. With this information, volunteers work together with government officials to resolve individual problems, reduce opportunities for corruption and improve management.

The objective of our project is to strengthen the capacity of the Centre de Recherche sur l'Anti-Corruption to conduct the Civil Society Parallel Report on how the UNCAC provisions are being implemented in DRC in law and in practice.
