Construction site not fenced: problem resolved at École primaire Umoja thanks to citizen monitoring

Illustration : sécurité

At École primaire Umoja (Mont-Amba, Kinshasa), the Integrity Club reported on EduCheck: construction site not fenced. Within 91 days and through « Meeting with the school management », the project fixed the problem; the monitors checked the fix on site.

The « Équipement d’une bibliothèque » project is meant to improve École primaire Umoja (Mont-Amba, Kinshasa). Student monitors of the school’s Integrity Club, trained by the Anti-Corruption Research Centre (CERC), follow the works with the EduCheck questionnaire to check that what was promised is delivered.

The problem

On 3 February 2026, the Integrity Club reported the following problem at École primaire Umoja: construction site not fenced.

An unsafe site puts both the workers and the children of the school nearby at risk.

The problem was published on the school’s page and sent to the project management committee and the contractor.

The dialogue

The monitors opened a dialogue with the project management committee and the contractor:

  • Meeting with the school management

The result

The fix was recorded on 5 May 2026, 91 days after the report.

During their visit on 11 October 2026, the monitors checked the fix on site: the problem moved to « Verified » on EduCheck.

This success shows what citizen monitoring makes possible: a problem made visible, a dialogue with the right people and a verified solution, for the benefit of pupils.

Your school can change too

Students, parents and teachers trained by CERC monitor their school and talk with those in charge until problems are fixed.
