APPLICATION DU BUDGET-PROGRAMME EN REĢPUBLIQUE DEĢMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO: ANALYSE CRITIQUE ET PERSPECTIVES
Le budget-programme est le reĢsultat de la budgeĢtisation par programmes. Selon la loi NĀ°11/011 du 13 juillet 2011 relative aux finances publiques, un programme est un ensemble coheĢrent dāactions qui regroupe les creĢdits destineĢs aĢ un meĢme ministeĢre. La nouvelle conception du budget qui est axeĢe sur la performance voudrait que les ressources soient alloueĢes selon les objectifs poursuivis et sur base des principes de transparence et de redevabiliteĢ. Cette approche marque une rupture avec le systeĢme classique et comporte des avantages en terme de gestion publique, de telle sorte que beaucoup dāEtats y ont trouveĢ des palliatifs aĢ leurs contraintes de deĢveloppement. Lāobjectif de cet article est dāexaminer lāeĢtat dāavancement de la mise en Åuvre du budget-programme en RD. Congo.
Sur le plan meĢthodologique, nous avons fait usage de la meĢthode analytique faciliteĢe par la technique documentaire qui nous a permis dāanalyser le chemin deĢjaĢ parcouru, les strateĢgies et actions actuelles de mise en Åuvre ainsi que les eĢnormes deĢfis qui se posent. Cela, en vue de faciliter le basculement total du budget de moyens vers le budget-programme aĢ lāhorizon 2023
CONCILIATION ENTRE LA FONCTION DU SECRETAIRE DE DIRECTION AVEC SES DEVOIRS CONJUGAUX. CAS DE LA SECRETAIRE DE DIRECTION DES RESSOURCES HUMAINES DU MINISTERE DES FINANCES/RDC
La secreĢtaire de direction a pour mission principale dāorganiser lāadministration en tant que collaboratrice rapprocheĢe du Directeur. Au travers de ses taĢches, elle se doit dāeĢtre ponctuelle, assidue et permanente. Ces exigences morales et professionnelles la placent devant des seĢrieuses difficulteĢs de concilier son meĢtier aĢ ses devoirs conjugaux qui sont dans la plupart, de nature vitale. Lāobjectif de cet article est dāinterroger sur la situation de la secreĢtaire de direction des ressources humaines du MinisteĢre des Finances en nous questionnant sur la manieĢre dont elle concilie ses diffeĢrentes taĢches avec les devoirs conjugaux. Sur le plan meĢthodologique, nous avons recouru aĢ la meĢthode analytique qui nous a permis dāanalyser lāimpact des devoirs conjugaux sur la fonction de la secreĢtaire de direction. Aussi, la meĢthode deĢductive qui nous a permis de partir dāun cas de la direction des ressources humaines pour conclure par extrapolation sur lāensemble des directions du MinisteĢre des Finances et ce, graĢce aĢ la technique documentaire et dāinterview
INCREASED REVENUE MOBILIZATION IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: ANALYSIS OF MEASURES TAKEN BY THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE AND PERSPECTIVES
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, revenue mobilization is ensured under the responsibility of the Minister in charge of Finance; revenue mobilization actions are carried out by the Heads of the Financial Authorities, namely, the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI), the General Directorate of Customs and Excise (DGDA) and the General Directorate of Administrative, Judicial, State and Participation (DGRAD), in collaboration with Base Services. The objective of this article is to present the partial results of the actions taken by the Ministry of Finance for revenue mobilization for 2022 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the outlook for 2023. To carry out this study, we used the comparative method which allowed us to take a comparative look at the assignments and achievements in the past and those of the first half of 2022
POLITIQUE DāACCROISSEMENT DES RECETTES PUBLIQUES DES ENTITES TERRITORIALES DECENTRALISEES (ETD) EN REĢPUBLIQUE DEĢMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO : Ā« CAS DE LA COMMUNE DE LINGWALA A KINSHASAĀ»
La constitution de la RD. Congo en son article 3 preĢvoit la deĢcentralisation comme mode de fonctionnement des services publics administratifs.Au nombre des entiteĢs territoriales deĢcentraliseĢes, figure la Commune. En tant que telle, elle sāest vue assigneĢe par la loi un certain nombre de charges essentiellement lieĢes au deĢveloppement communal. LāexeĢcution efficace et efficiente de ces charges requiert des ressources compatibles. Ces dernieĢres sont dāordre humain, mateĢriel, technique et surtout financier. Les diffeĢrents rapports dāexeĢcution budgeĢtaire de la commune de LINGWALA de 2017 aĢ 2020 reĢveĢlent que cette dernieĢre a difficile aĢ reĢaliser, ne fuĢt-ce que, 30% de ses preĢvisions des recettes alors quāelle deĢtient tout lāeĢventail dāimpoĢts, taxes, droits et redevances. En menant cette eĢtude, lāobjectif est de voir la commune de LINGWALA reĢaliser le maximum de ses ressources financieĢres et sāoccuper efficacement de ses charges. Pour y arriver, nous avons fait usage dāune meĢthodologie articuleĢe autour du diagnostic institutionnel graĢce aux outils FFOM et aĢ la meĢthode inductive faciliteĢs par la technique lāobservation directe, la technique documentaire et lāinterview libre
Investigation on the role of biallelic variants in VEGF-C found in a patient affected by Milroy-like lymphedema
Background Milroy-like disease is the diagnostic definition used for patients with phenotypes that resemble classic Milroy disease (MD) but are negative to genetic testing forFLT4. In this study, we aimed at performing a genetic characterization and biochemical analysis of VEGF-C variations found in a female proband born with congenital edema consistent with Milroy-like disease. Methods The proband underwent next-generation sequencing-based genetic testing for a panel of genes associated with known forms of hereditary lymphedema. Segregation analysis was performed on family members by direct sequencing. In vitro studies were performed to evaluate the role of a novel identified variant. Results TwoVEGF-Cvariations were found in the proband, a novel p.(Ser65Arg) and a pathogenic c.148-3_148-2delCA, of paternal and maternal origin, respectively. Functional characterization of the p.(Ser65Arg) variation in vitro showed alterations in VEGF-C processing. Conclusions Our findings reveal an interesting case in which biallelic variants inVEGF-Care found in a patient with Milroy-like lymphedema. These data expand our understanding of the etiology of congenital Milroy-like lymphedema.Peer reviewe
GESTION LOGISTIQUE ET INTENDANCE : QUāEN EST-IL DE LA DIRECTION ADMINISTRATIVE ET FINANCIEĢRE (DAF) DU MINISTEĢRE DES FINANCES, REĢPUBLIQUE DEĢMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO ?
La Division logistique et intendance est chargeĢe de la gestion des approvisionnements, des stocks des mateĢriels et fournitures de bureau, la reĢalisation des travaux dāintendance et maintenance, et la gestion des biens meubles et immeubles ainsi que des eĢquipements des MinisteĢres (DeĢcret nĀ° 15/043 du 28 deĢcembre 2015). Lāorganisation de cette division fondeĢe sur sa numeĢrisation et son optimisation est un atout majeur aux atteintes des objectifs qui ont conduit aĢ lāimpleĢmentation des directions standards. Cependant, Il ressort dans lāorganisation des activiteĢs logistiques, une faiblesse de collaboration entre les services du MinisteĢre et la Division logistique et Intendance. Donc, une gestion non planifieĢe et non maitriseĢe des besoins logistiques bat son plein dans lāensemble du MinisteĢre. Lāobjectif de cet article est de mettre en Åuvre un meĢcanisme pouvant permettre de renforcer la collaboration, mieux la communication aĢ temps reĢel entre les services du MinisteĢre et la Division Logistique et Intendance afin de mieux appuyer les diffeĢrentes activiteĢs du MinisteĢre et de reĢpondre aĢ lāobligation des reĢsultats en perspectives du basculement vers le budget-programme

Therapeutic Regeneration of Lymphatic and Immune Cell Functions upon Lympho-organoid Transplantation.
Lymph nodes (LNs) are secondary lymphoid tissues that play a critical role in filtering the lymph and promoting adaptive immune responses. Surgical resection of LNs, radiation therapy, or infections may damage lymphatic vasculature and compromise immune functions. Here, we describe the generation of functional synthetic lympho-organoids (LOs) using LN stromal progenitors and decellularized extracellular matrix-based scaffolds, two basic constituents of secondary lymphoid tissues. We show that upon transplantation at the site of resected LNs, LOs become integrated into the endogenous lymphatic vasculature and efficiently restore lymphatic drainage and perfusion. Upon immunization, LOs support the activation of antigen-specific immune responses, thus acquiring properties of native lymphoid tissues. These findings provide a proof-of-concept strategy for the development of functional lympho-organoids suitable for restoring lymphatic and immune cell functions
Peripheral blood lymphocytes genetically modified to express the self/tumor antigen MAGE-A3 induce antitumor immune responses in cancer patients
Dendritic cell (DC) targeting in vivo has recently been shown to confer strong and protective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) based immunity in tumor murine models. Our group has recently demonstrated in preclinical models that the infusion of genetically modified lymphocytes (GMLs) expressing the self/tumor antigen TRP-2 is able to elicit functional TRP-2-specific effectors with antitumor activity by targeting DCs in vivo. Here we have analyzed vaccine- and tumor-specific immune responses of 10 melanoma patients treated with autologous GMLs expressing the cancer germline gene MAGE-A3. Three of 10 patients treated with MAGE-A3-GML showed an increase of circulating anti MAGE-A3 T cells, and developed skin delayed-type hypersensitivity to MAGE-A3. Interestingly, in 2 of these patients, with progressive and measurable tumors at study entry, anti- MAGE-A3 T cells were detected not only in the blood but also within tumors resected after vaccination. These results demonstrate that the infusion of MAGE-A3-GML elicits antitumor T cells, which are capable of trafficking to inflamed tissues and of infiltrating tumors. Clinical studies on a larger group of patients are needed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of such a strategy. (Blood. 2009; 113: 1651-1660
