The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo or DRC) is one of the wealthiest and most Christianized countries in the world (90%). However, the country is also one of the poorest countries worldwide (70%). It is remaining in political and socio-economic instability for 57 years. The DRC population has dwelt into trauma due to the daily challenges which they face in life and they look for comfort and relief in religion especially in revival churches. These revival churches by their pastors promise to their followers a life of prosperity and abundance. These churches are the result of the secularism of country. As a result, secularism has become deeply ingrained because of the presence these churches. Such a liberal culture should contribute to the openness, the independence, the maturity, the nobility and the development of the population. However, this has created opportunities for exploiting people by some strong personalities in the country. The pastors of the Revival Churches (10000) are among these strong personalities who manipulate the population in order to achieve their lucrative goal. This exploratory and mixed method study identifies the strategies used by 30 pastors of these churches during religious consultations. The approval of the transference seems to be one of the most used strategies to tackle the problems of these church members in order to keep the population in ignorance, dependence and immaturity.

L'étude est partie du constat selon lequel à chaque précipitation, pendant la saison pluvieuse, les érosions enregistrent d'énormes dégâts dans la ville de Kinshasa. L'étude a tenté d'analyser les causes et conséquences de ces érosions urbaines. Une enquête par questionnaire a été menée auprès des 250 ménages touchés. Les résultats ont montré que les causes des érosions sont regroupés en deux catégories notamment les causes écologiques ainsi que les causes socio-économique et politique. Ces causes produisent plusieurs conséquences notamment les effets socio-économiques, socio-psychologiques et d'urbanisation. Les responsabilités de ces érosions sont partagées entre plusieurs acteurs. Les ménages sinistrés reçoivent des aides morales, financières, matérielles et de logement des familles ainsi que des voisins. Les autorités urbaines, communales et locales viennent rarement en aide aux ménages sinistrés. Les aides sont plus post-sinistres. Ainsi, l'étude donne quelques recommandes aux parties prenantes.The study started from the observation that with each precipitation, during the rainy season, erosions register enormous damage in the city of Kinshasa. The study attempted to identify and analyze the causes and consequences of these urban erosions. A survey of the 250 affected households was conducted by questionnaire. The results show that the causes of erosion are grouped into two categories, including ecological causes and socio-economic and political causes. These causes have several consequences. These have socio-economic, socio-psychological and urbanization effects. Participants felt that the responsibilities for these erosions were shared among several actors. Affected households receive moral, financial, material and housing assistance from families and neighbours. Urban, municipal and local authorities rarely help affected households. The aids are more post-sinister. Thus, the study gives some recommendations to stakeholders. Article visualizations:

In Democratic Republic of the Congo, the body of school inspectors aims at controlling and evaluating the pedagogic, administrative and financial of school activities. They observe, assess, and advise the school employees with improving mechanisms of school performance and teaching quality. Due to the shortage of school inspectors (109 teachers of secondary schools for 1 inspector), many schools do not receive the control and supervision. However, in their routine works, the roving inspectors are facing some problems. These problems have affected negatively the effectiveness of their school inspection. This study aims at identifying and categorizing the problems which the school inspectors are facing during their socio-professional career. The survey was conducted by questionnaire (administered in a Stratified Sampling weighted consisting of 200 inspectors) and data analyzed by the analysis of content and statistical analysis. The findings indicated the inspection relative to control of education is more frequent than internal administration, on-the-job training and evaluation or testing. In this school inspection sessions, the problems of social life conditions, the technical and the working conditions are more significant than the contextual problems. The school inspectors have proposed possible solutions to solve these challenges through GOPP. Article visualizations:

The inclusive education is viewed as educational processes that includes all learners and meet the need of their involvement through a growing participation in learning, cultural and community life. It also has the goal of reducing the number of those excluded from ordinary schools or education system.

For the 2010-2011 school year, 1069 children living with disabilities were enrolled in the 14 schools targeted by this project, an increase of almost 30% compared to 2009. This exploratory study makes the state of inclusive education in the DRC by highlighting the challenges and perspectives. Article visualizations:
