The Constitution of the DRC provides the implementation of the decentralization process that will contribute, through a gradual transfer of skills, to the development of local democracy. The provinces, according to Articles 2 and 226 of the Constitution, should rise from 11 to 26 in thirty-six months after the installation of political institutions, and play a central role in the new institutional architecture of the country.
The overall objective is to support the implementation of decentralization in the DRC.
The specific objective is the realization, in particular provinces, of the "political and institutional impact" and of the "participatory research" of a study on the impact of the territorial division of the provinces in the DRC.
