Works stopped or delayed: problem resolved at Institut La Victoire thanks to citizen monitoring
At Institut La Victoire (Uvira, Sud-Kivu), the Integrity Club reported on EduCheck: works stopped or delayed. Within 71 days and through « Advocacy », the project fixed the problem; the monitors checked the fix on site.
The « Adduction d’eau potable » project is meant to improve Institut La Victoire (Uvira, Sud-Kivu). 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 17 February 2026, the Integrity Club reported the following problem at Institut La Victoire: works stopped or delayed.
When information is public, the community can follow what was promised and ask for accountability.
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:
- Advocacy
The result
The fix was recorded on 29 April 2026, 71 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.
