L’Etat de fragilité des provinces de la RD Congo face à la pandémie de Covid-19. Le cas du Kasai-central

Abstract

Kasai Central, a young, post-conflict province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is extremely fragile in the five dimensions (political, security, economic, societal and environmental) of the OECD’s analytical framework of fragility. Its ability to adapt, manage, absorb and mitigate the risks it faces on a daily basis remains in deficit. It is in this context that the Covid-19 pandemic has arisen, which imposes new risks relating to the containment measures and restrictions put in place to fight against the spread of the epidemic, even though the province is among the least affected by the Covid-19 disease on its territory. How to build his capacity for resilience to be able to get by?
