Journée internationale de lutte contre la corruption – 9 décembre 2025
Chaque 9 décembre, le monde célèbre la Journée internationale de lutte contre la corruption, instaurée par l’ONU pour sensibiliser citoyens, institutions et gouvernements à l’importance de l’intégrité et de la transparence. Cette journée rappelle que la corruption freine le développement, affaiblit la confiance et compromet l’équité dans nos sociétés.
Aujourd’hui, le CNPAV réaffirme son engagement dans la lutte contre la corruption en République démocratique du Congo. La corruption freine le développement, sape la confiance des citoyens et affaiblit nos institutions.
Chaque acte de transparence, chaque dénonciation, chaque initiative citoyenne compte pour construire un pays plus juste. Au CNPAV, nous travaillons avec nos membres, partenaires et la société civile pour :
- Promouvoir la transparence et la redevabilité dans la gestion publique,
- Sensibiliser les citoyens sur les mécanismes de prévention et de dénonciation,
- Récompenser les initiatives positives et dénoncer les pratiques corruptives via le Prix KANYAKA.
Ensemble, faisons de l’intégrité une norme et de la corruption un obstacle que nous surmontons collectivement.
