1. Introduction This report is part of a larger evaluation of the Netherlands development programme MFS II. MFS II is

the 2011-2015 grant framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Dutch NGOs, which is

directed at achieving a sustainable reduction in poverty. A total of 20 consortia of Dutch NGOs have

been awarded €1.9 billion in MFS II grants. MFS II-funded organisations support a wide range of

development activities of a large number of southern partner organisations in over 70 countries. This

report is part of the country study carried out in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The overall report

consists of three parts, based on three categories of priority result areas: achievement of MDGs &

themes, capacity development of Southern Partner Organisations (SPOs), and civil society

strengthening. This report focuses on the civil society strengthening component.

As part of the civil society strengthening component of the evaluation, we looked at ways in which

development projects have strengthened civil society. The evaluation aims to analyse changes that

have taken place in civil society during the evaluation period and the extent to which development

interventions with Dutch MFS II financing have contributed to these changes. The evaluation consists

of a baseline and endline study and focuses on a broad sample of 19 partnerships. We conducted

observations, workshops, field visits and interviews, during three visits in 2012, 2013 (smaller

subsample) and 2014. At the beginning of 2015, we organised a feedback workshop in DRC for all

organisations in the capacity development and civil society strengthening parts of the evaluation,

where we discussed the general findings and received comments on the draft version of this report.1

Core elements of our evaluation approach are the Theory of Change and the Civicus Civil Society

Index2, which distinguishes five dimensions to civil society: Civic engagement, Level of organisation,

Practice of values, Perception of impact, and the Environment.

In this report we look specifically at the contribution of Caritas Développement Kindu to civil society

strengthening. Caritas Développement Kindu is a partner of Cordaid and the Communities of Change

(CoC) Alliance. Caritas Développement Kindu is a church-based organisation which aims to fight

poverty and to promote the welfare of the population of the Kindu Diocese. For this evaluation we

focus on the project with Cordaid/CoC: a one-year, EUR 52,491 project to support and involve the

population of Kailo Territory (Maniema) in participatory governance. This project had no dedicated

civil society strengthening component, but contained elements that can be considered civil society

strengthening.

Our analysis reveals that at the level of Kailo Territory, the activities by Caritas Développement Kindu

have contributed to increased awareness of human rights and accountability mechanisms among the

target population. Surprisingly, local authorities and Caritas Développement Kindu staff indicate that

tax revenues have increased. At the same time, two years after the project ended, the effect seems

to be wearing off, with diminished activity of the newly-created local governance committees.

In the following, first we describe the country and relevant local context. Then we give a short

description of Caritas Développement Kindu and the project with the civil society strengthening/policy

influencing elements. Next, we shortly discuss the methodology. We then present the results,

followed by a discussion and conclusion.

2. Context In this section, we briefly describe the country and local context as far as it is relevant for the project

under evaluation.

The Province of Maniema, and eastern DRC as a whole, is strongly characterised by the legacy of

repeated conflict and high levels of insecurity. High levels of poverty are coupled with limited access

to basic services, in a still young democracy with a history of clientelism and rent-seeking. Eastern DRC

is reputed for high levels of gender-based violence, including sexual violence against women. A great

deal of international aid has gone to North and South Kivu, which have a history of civil society

mobilisation. Maniema, however, has received significantly less attention from international

organisations, and the organisations that are present are mostly concerned with humanitarian aid and

food security.

Since the mid-1990s, the east of the DRC has gone through several periods of violence. Even though

the Sun City agreements in 2002 marked the end of all-out war and integration of important factions

in the Congolese national army FARDC, there remained a number of armed groups that chose to retain

arms for a variety of reasons. With the presence of the world’s largest peacekeeping mission

MONUSCO and a great deal of international aid, the situation seems to be slowly improving.

Nevertheless insecurity persists in some areas, and increased during the recent rise and demise of

rebel movement M23 (2012-2013).

http://www.civicus.org/


Though Maniema was affected less by the war than North and South Kivu, its isolation also makes it

one of the poorest regions in the east of Congo. Many people were displaced during the war, and until

2005 high levels of insecurity severely affected food production. Many roads have fallen into disuse

because of lack of maintenance, and the capital Kindu can only be reached by plane. Roads within the

province are also in a dire condition, though in recent years several roads have been rehabilitated.

The population in the Territory of Kailo, the area targeted by the project under evaluation, makes a

living through agricultural activities and mining in the north of the Territory. Because of the

exploitation of mineral resources by the population, all state services that generate public revenue

are present to collect taxes. The area has witnessed a series of violent confrontations between military

and Mai Mai, but the authority of the state has been re-established, and the different population

groups now live together in peace. Access to Kailo by road was difficult until 2013 when the road

connecting Kailo to Kindu was rehabilitated by Office des Routes - now Kailo city is a two-hour drive

from Kindu.

Due to the lack of experience with democracy and generally low levels of literacy (an estimated 20%

of rural women can read and write), both citizens and local authorities in Kailo lack knowledge on

human rights and the rights and duties of citizens and the civil authorities. Lack of knowledge about

rights and judicial frameworks often leads to conflict about taxes or property rights in local

communities. Security in Maniema is not yet stable, and these conflicts can pose a serious threat to

peace in the region.

A history of corruption and bad governance is not easily undone, and the size of DRC is not making the

process any easier. Governance in DRC faces many challenges, including formal and informal taxation,

policies that are not implemented, and a stalling process of decentralisation. Decentralisation was part

of the Constitution adopted in 2006, and the decision to put in place a more decentralised system of

governance was taken 5 years ago.3 Nevertheless, local elections have yet to be held. At the level of

the local ‘decentralised territorial entities’ (entité territorial decentralisé, or ETD), which corresponds

with the level of the territories in Maniema, some organisations have moved ahead to engage in

promoting participatory planning processes, each with their specific issues in mind. Local elections are

considered an opportunity for people to gain experience with the political process and public

management. Women’s organisations view these elections as a strategic moment for increasing

women’s participation at the decision-making level. The national electoral commission CENI has

recently proposed to organise local elections in August 2015.4

3. Description of Southern Partner Organisation In this section we briefly describe Caritas Développement Kindu: its history, organisational details,

main approach and areas of intervention.

Caritas Développement Kindu is a church-based organization which was created in order to contribute

to development along with the evangelising mission of the Roman Catholic Church. In the Kindu

Diocese in Maniema, Caritas Développement has been operating for over a decade. Caritas

Développement Kindu aims to fight poverty and to promote the welfare of the population of the Kindu

Diocese. To achieve this objective, Caritas Développement Kindu focuses its activities on restoring

human dignity, improving community health and socioeconomic conditions, as well as protecting and

promoting human rights to all.

Since 2006, Caritas Développement Kindu has registered as an independent organisation, with its own

judicial recognition. The organisation is led by the Bishop of the Diocese of Kindu, as the president of

its Board of Directors. The Board oversees the coordinating/executive part of the organisation, which

consists of four departments: the Bureau Diocésain de la Caritas, the Bureau Diocésain de

Développement, the Bureau Diocésain des Oeuvres Médicales and the Justice and Peace Commission

for the Diocese (Commission Diocésaine de Justice et Paix, CDJP).5 It is this last department that

executed the project with Cordaid under evaluation. CDJP aims at (i) protecting and promoting human

rights, (ii) civic education, (iii) the education of children in civic matters, (iv) awareness raising of

children regarding sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), (v) prevention, management, transformation

and pacific resolution of conflicts, and (vi) promoting, peace, justice and reconciliation. CDJP serves as

a link between the Kindu Diocese and state services regarding human rights issues.

The geographical focus of CDJP is the Kindu Diocese, with a current activities in the Territorities of

Kindu, Kibombo, Kailo and Punia. In the area of promoting governance, the CDJP used modules of

training for awareness raising of people about issues such as (i) participatory governance, (ii)

decentralization and participatory governance in the Maniema province, (iii) participatory planning

and budgeting, (iv) the role and mission of the local governance committee in democratic processes.

Strategies used include radio theatre, multiplication and distribution of up-to-date legal texts related

to decentralisation and income generation, the support of sexual violence victims to get access to

justice, as well as the organisation of social dialogue sessions and a Tribune d’Expression Populaire

(TEP), space for popular expression, in the target area.

During the evaluation period, no major changes have occurred within the organisation. The overview

below shows that Cordaid has been one of the major donors for CDJP during the 2011-2014 period.

There has been a lack of stable funding by international donors for Caritas Développement Kindu in

general. CDJP in particular has suffered from the lack of a permanent donor to support its activities in

the Kindu Diocese. The former director of CDJP is nowadays advisor to the Bishop, with one of the

former Project Officers functioning as interim director since August 2013.

Brief Theory of Change6

The 5-year-objective of Caritas Développement Kindu is to improve socio-economic and health

conditions, as well as the management of natural resources, in the Diocese of Kindu. The organisation

lists a series of conditions that have to be met, ranging from economic conditions, to health, human

rights, and the own organizational capacity. It is important to have commercial banks provide micro-

credit in rural areas, and there is a need to develop functional agricultural cooperatives. The

construction of health infrastructure is another important condition, as well as another Peace

Tribunal, and improving road access to remote areas is also an important condition. Education on

human rights is of great importance in rural areas. To deal with this variety of conditions, there is a

need for developing synergies with other organisations, and to collaborate with local authorities. With

respect to the own organisation, Caritas Développement Kindu needs to have competent personnel

available, and field workers need to be trained on monitoring. Caritas Développement Kindu needs

well-maintained vehicles, and the internal organisation of Caritas Développement Kindu should

become more dynamic. A final condition is a stable access to funding.

4. Project description: civil society/policy advocacy elements Here we describe the project and its civil society/policy advocacy elements, in terms of size, budget,

duration, major objectives and activities.

Cooperation between Cordaid and Caritas Développement Kindu started in 2007. Previous projects

ran from 2007-2008 and from 2009-2010. The last project started on October 1, 2011, and ran till

September 1, 2012: 104609, ‘Civic education of people of the Kailo Territory’. It is this one-year, EUR

52,491 MFS II-funded project that forms the focus of this evaluation.

The project aimed to create a culture of democracy, in which the rights of citizens are respected, and

which will lead to the prevention of conflict and improvement in the collection of taxes, so that the

decentralised territorial entities will be able to function with their own locally-generated resources,

for the development of the area. The project had three main objectives:

1. to strengthen the capacity of the members of the comités locaux de gouvernance participative

(CLGP), local committees for participatory governance, and community leaders, agents of public

services that generate revenues, local and traditional authorities, as well as inspectors and teachers

of civic and moral education at primary and secondary schools in Kailo Territory, in terms of

participatory governance and human rights.

2. These people are equipped with a number of national and international juridical instruments on

decentralisation, participatory governance, classifications of taxes, and the notion of human rights.

3. The target group has become familiar with human rights

In the area of intervention, CDJP set up 4 local committees for participatory governance, in Kailo,

Malela, Katako and Kimiakimia, and worked with 3 CLGPs that were already existent. CDJP organised

various trainings, directed at the main beneficiaries for this project, the local CLGPs, local authorities,

and teachers. Besides these specific groups of beneficiaries, Caritas reached a large amount of

beneficiaries through radio broadcasts and the organisation of public gatherings.

Beneficiaries of the project were ETD authorities: the ETD executive that consists of the

chiefdom/sector chief, the Secrétaire Administratif, the Receveur-Comptable and other state agents.

Another group of beneficiaries consisted of teachers of the civic education course at secondary schools

in Kailo territory. These were also trained during a workshop, in which they came up with a more

elaborated program of the course of civic education for secondary school students. Finally, local

people including diggers and sellers (at the market), who have to pay taxes to local authorities,

constituted another group of beneficiaries.

We distinguish the following civil society strengthening elements:

- Creating and training local committees for participatory governance (4 CLGP created)

- Training the members of the CLGP, community leaders, agents of public services that generate

revenues, local and traditional authorities, as well as inspectors and teachers of civic and

moral education at primary and secondary schools in Kailo Territory on decentralisation,

citizen participation in governance, elaboration and monitoring of the budget, citizen control

of public action, and accountability and human rights (10 four-day workshops organised)

- Initiating social dialogue between those who govern and those who are governed (12

dialogues organised)

- Organising tribunes d’expression populaire (16 TEPs organised)


5. Data collection and analytical approach Here we describe the baseline and follow-up assessment, as well as particular choices and data

collection problems. We also explain here which outcomes were selected for the contribution analysis.

The general methodology we followed can be found in as an Annex, as well as a list of documents

employed, workshop participants and other informants.

Generally, we followed the methodology described in the Annex. The endline workshop was

conducted by Patrick Milabyo, who was also involved in the baseline visit, and it involved a number of

the same people as the baseline workshop, and a field visit to Kailo Territory. A draft version of this

report was discussed with staff of Caritas Développement Kindu during a feedback workshop in DRC

at the beginning of 2015.

As described in our methodology, we decided to conduct a contribution analysis for a subsample.

Caritas Développement Kindu was not included in this subsample.

6. Results In this section, we describe our findings. We provide descriptive analyses and scoring of relative

changes in the CSI dimensions (Civic engagement, Level of organisation, Practice of values, Perception

of impact, and the Environment).

Baseline 2012 (0-3)

Endline 2014 (0-3)

Civic engagement 2.0 1.5

Level of organization 2.0 2.0

Practice of values 1.5 1.5

Perception of impact 1.5 2.0

Environment 1.5 1.5

Civic Engagement

Under this dimension we distinguish the diversity of socially-based engagement (taking into account

needs of marginalised groups, participation of target groups in the project), and the diversity of

political engagement (is there dialogue of local leaders in dialogue with government representatives,

are beneficiaries member of sectoral user groups).

Through the connection to the church, and the parish committees in the intervention area, CDJP is

well aware of the local context and the needs of the people. Target groups are not involved the

conception or elaboration of project proposals, but leaders of grassroots organisations, community

leaders and churches participate in assessments of needs and potential solutions. The CLGPs that were

created during the project with Cordaid have been involved in the organisation of the social dialogue

and the TEPs. After the funding for the project ended, members of the CLGPs indicate they continued

to meet, but the frequency is diminishing. Without project funding, CDJP staff is not able to frequently

visit the intervention area.

During the project, CDJP was regularly in touch with various authorities, and the authorities

participated in the trainings that CDJP organised. A certain level of trust has been built between CDJP


staff and these authorities. There was also some collaboration with other CSOs in Kailo Territory,

notably CIOD, but CDJP generally focused on the CLGPs. After the end of the project, relations with

the authorities have become less frequent. The CLGPs are not often in touch with the authorities or

other CSOs.

Level of Organisation

This dimension focuses on the organisational level of civil society (the connectedness of SPOs in

networks of organisations, the nature of relationships between SPOs and networks, and the degree of

representation of interests); peer to peer communication (the strength of the relationships of the SPO

with other actors); and financial and human resources (the composition of the financial resource base,

availability of human resources).

Since 2011, CDJP is part of the network of human rights organisations operating in Maniema, and

participates in the consultations on a number of themes. At the Provincial level, civil society is

organised in a Bureau de la Coordination de la Société Civile, in which CSOs are grouped in thematic

clusters. CDJP indicates that the thematic cluster on civic education, justice and human rights is an

important means for them to be in touch with other CSOs. This is where exchange of information and

experience takes place. We have found no evidence of collaboration in the form of developing joint

activities or projects. There are a number of organisation with which CDJP collaborates more closely,

including USAID/DAI, CAMPS, and RHBM. When CDJP encounters organisations operating in the same

area, it attempts to make a division of roles. However, there is also competition for funding, and

sometimes organisations behave opportunistically, and collaboration is not possible.

At the level of the province, the larger Caritas Développement Kindu collaborates with various levels

of authorities, and state services, in the areas of health, justice, water and sanitation, poverty

reduction and emergency aid. Internationally, Caritas Développement Kindu is connected to the

international Caritas movement, and it receives financing from various Caritas organisations. Other

main donors for Caritas Développement Kindu include UNICEF and UNDP. As described previously,

recent years have seen a reduction in funding – Caritas staff think that donors feel that there is no

longer a humanitarian crisis in Maniema.

Practice of Values

This dimension deals with internal governance (the functioning of the legally required internal

committees, are they involved in the strategic management of the SPO, and the functioning of lower

CSO levels), and transparency (respect of internal written procedures, extent of downward

accountability, within the SPO and to lower CSO levels, transparency on finances).

The internal organisational structure of Caritas Développement Kindu includes a General Assembly, a

Board of Directors and an Audit Committee. There are no beneficiaries among the members of Caritas

Développement Kindu. There are no regular GAs – the last was held in 2008. The Board is not elected.

During our baseline visit, meetings of the Board and committee were irregular, and staff indicated that

it was necessary to revitalise them.. During our endline visit, staff were more positive about the


functioning of the internal structure, nevertheless, only one of the two required Board meetings was

held in 2014.

Audits are done regularly, upon donor demand, and financial audits are part of the organisational code

of conduct. Caritas Développement Kindu also has started to conduct institutional audits.

Perception of Impact

Under this dimension we discuss the responsiveness (nature and intensity of SPO’s relationship with

the public sector and the private sector); social impact (target group satisfaction regarding fulfilment

of their primary social concern, perception of public and private sector of quality of delivery of services

by SPO); and the policy impact (the level of influence of SPOs in the process leading to major policy

changes identified in the sector of the SPO’s intervention since 2011).

The needs of the target group for information on participatory governance and human rights are to a

large extent satisfied; however, the impact of the activities by CDJP is still limited because of the

limited financial resources available for technical assistance, after the project ended. Nevertheless,

both local authorities, CLGP members and CDJP staff indicate that the activities by CDJP have

contributed positively to the payment of taxes in Kailo Territory: apparently, people have become

more aware of the need to pay taxes, and are more willing to do so now that they have the tools to

hold the authorities accountable. The authorities in Kailo City are using the extra income to

rehabilitate several bridges and provide a number of bicycles to state functionaries.

According to CDJP staff, they are invited by public sector actors and vice versa; therefore, they

developed a space for information exchange and strategies on the regular basis. Local authorities and

teachers in the Kailo territory have increased their knowledge in terms of public accountability and

human rights to the extent that these notions are taught to students at school. The relationship with

public sector actors is complicated by the tendency of public sector actors to ask for payment for

participation in activities organised by CDJP. CDJP targets the private sector as citizens in the project

with Cordaid, but does not specifically aim to influence private sector policy.

Environment/context

This dimension takes the wider environment into account. What is the degree of participation of the

SPO in defining the civil society interventions of the CFA/Consortium; to what extent is a context

analysis of the space and role of civil society in the specific country done as part of the programme

/project cycle; to what extent is the SPO is involved in studies on civil society?

Caritas Développement Kindu staff collect information about the changing socio-economic context, as

well as about political-security developments. These data are used in the elaboration of reports and

proposals. The organisation does not pay specific attention to the development of civil society as such

in Maniema, and it has not participated in defining civil society interventions by Cordaid/CoC.


7. Discussion Given our findings, we think the project ‘Civic education of people of Kailo territory’ was reasonably

well-designed and implemented, as it tied into existing needs of authorities to develop a tax base for

the decentralised territorial entities, as well as educating people on how to hold the authorities

accountable when it came to public expenditure. The development of CLGPs allowed for the

involvement of these committees in the execution of the project, and represented a structure that

could potentially remain to sustain the intervention after the end of the project.

Nevertheless, the development of participatory governance seems a process that requires a more

long-term involvement. In this case, this one-year project was the only civic education project of

Caritas Développement Kindu supported by Cordaid. We would advise financing a similar project in

the future, on the condition that a more long-term perspective is taken (taking the sustainability into

account, even if the actual intervention lasts only a year). The current project clearly shows that two

years after the project ended, involvement of the authorities and the local committees has diminished.

We would also recommend that a future project is coordinated with other actors who are supporting

decentralisation processes in the same or similar areas, in terms of exchange of experience and

approaches on the ground.

With respect to the evaluation itself: it would have made more sense to only include Southern Partner

Organisations that would surely be funded during the entire evaluation period, to maximise the

potential effects of the projects under study. This would require a more stringent procedure for

selecting the SPOs and projects to be included in the evaluation.

8. Conclusion Here we provide an answer to the two evaluation questions:

1. What are the changes in civil society in the 2012-2014 period, with particular focus on the

relevant MDGs & themes in the selected country?

This project falls under the theme ‘good governance and fragile states’. Changes in civil society in Kailo

Territory during the 2012-2014 period are limited, but there are some tentative changes. Many

beneficiaries and school children have received education on participatory governance and human

rights – the notions of human rights and citizenship have been successfully included in the curriculum

of secondary education. Changes can be seen in the example of improved tax payment in Kailo

Territory, and the authorities which are being held accountable. The project has contributed to

increased communication and transparency between authorities and citizens, and as such to a

strengthening of the social contract at the local level. At the same time, the effects of the project seem

to be wearing off, two years after the end of the project. The committees that have been set up during

the project are no longer very active.

What is the relevance of these changes?

The relevance of these changes is two-fold. The changes are relevant because they contribute to the

viability of the ETDs, so that when the decentralisation is implemented a culture of participation

already exists. When citizens can hold their leaders accountable, this can foster a culture of


transparency and public accountability, and ETD resources will be used for the development of the

area.

The changes are also relevant vis-à-vis the Theory of Change of Caritas Développement Kindu: they

contribute to the aim of improving socio-economic and health conditions, as well as the management

of natural resources, in the Diocese of Kindu. The increased awareness of human rights, coupled to

tools for participation in governance, can give citizens the ability to claim their rights and thus improve

their conditions of life.
