Research
The Democratic Republic of Congo is facing a serious challenge connected to research work, this problems leaves a lot of space to Myths, Stereotypes, Tradition and ignored which are at the same time manipulated by Religious Leaders and Traditional Healers among others.
Research is part of major activities in order to empower young people to become passionate of research, provide people with clear knowledge about certain things, answer to what is believed as difficult questions and provide accurate information which can help in the whole decision making process.
In the same way, data is a major challenge in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as we talk about research we do not even know how many researchers exist in the country, what they do and where is their work.
Our activities will focus on the promotion of research, advocating for decisions to be taken basing on research work, training young people in the field of research, sharing experiences with other researchers, advocating for funds and enabling environment about research and making search part of excellence.
We intend to work will all actors in each aspect of life, more especially with educative institutions and proposing the necessary education reforms which can favor research. For example discovery programs at Primary, and simple studies at secondary and then clear research work at University basing on innovations among others.
Research as a topic should be introduced in our education programme at all levels in order to produce a strong human resource which will address the problems the country is facing.
