Abstract

The Congolese constitution of 2006 has given subnational institutions –especially provinces– broader powers in the development and implementation of sectoral public policies. In addition, to bring the population closer to decision-making centres, this territorialisation of public action has gone with territorial engineering, increasing the number of provinces from 11 to 26. But more than a decade after the promulgation of this constitution –and more than two years after the installation of new provinces– it is clear that these entities enjoy only a very weak legitimacy. Paradoxically, we are witnessing the reproduction of Congolese state power, thus calling into question the very process of territorialisation of public policies and its corollary decentralisation.
