We have conducted a research about the actual situation of Bukavu town that is facing problems of rural exodus and the proliferation of houses which are built in disorder without the intervention of local administrative leaders. Historic-critical and comparative methods with interviews and documentary notes have helped us to collect data for this piece of work in order to understand the phenomenon and events that are related to the division of Kivu lake coast. These methods and techniques have helped to make a location of elements and effects and look for their basic reasons in the timing and temporary setting with the aim of establishing the similarity and discordance between the Kivu lake littoral 20 years ago and the actual situation of this last with reference to certain administrative rules related to this issue.
From our research, we have found out that there is remarkable weakness of politico-administrative authorities in matter of keeping the littoral of Kivu lake and environment protection. People get small lands to build their dwellings even on lands which were considered dangerous to build houses in former time.
Places which are protected by the law, among which Kivu Lake did not escape to this predation and consequences, are now numerous at different levels. We have recommended to politico-administrative leaders to establish public waste bean, to adjust the littoral of Kivu Lake, the sensitization of the population, to make a regular checking of people who are building, to destroy some houses which were built on lands which are dangerous, to build houses at 10 meters far from the littoral, to respect environmental rules and establish appropriated strategies.
It is not sufficient when the man is conscious of the negative outcomes of violence’s and discrimination toward women at the community level but he should undertake individual actions for protection and women’s rights promotion. This piece of work shows that men dialogue groups contribute to the prevention of gender based violence’s in the community and particularly in the family of their members. However, discussion and dialogue sessions among men provide with knowledge that allow them to be conscious of negative outcomes of violence’s and discrimination toward women at the community level and undertake individual and responsible actions to acknowledge the women’s rights. In the framework of these pieces of work, we have used the comparative method and the following techniques: interview, free talks, sampling and documentation. After analyzing the results of our research we have found that the implication and participation of all actions, notably religions and custom leader’s spouses of member of men dialogue group and the intensification of these groups will contribute overcoming the issues that member are facing. Dialogue groups allow men to undertake individual and responsible actions to acknowledge women rights.
This piece of work is concerned with the critical analysis of mining children’s situation in Kalehe and Mwenga territories in South Kivu-the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have gathered data for this piece of work in mining sites of Kalehe and Mwenga thanks to direct interviews, observations, and focus groups. This paper aims at showing to any reader or researcher how the children rights are not respected by people in mining sites of South Kivu because children are used as an affordable labor force. We want anyone who may have the possibilities of making just a step to use the result of this research in order to withdraw mining children in those bad conditions that they are living in. After the analysis of the data, we have found out that children are completely ii-treated in all mining sites because of hard jobs that they daily fulfill. They constitute an affordable labor force. Their children’s rights are not respected by adult due to selfish interests. Poverty and hardship in their families are the basic reasons which push parents to send children in mining sites because they should contribute to the income of the family.
Rwanda is a country which is full of hills and with at least 80% of the population which depends on agriculture as a source of revenue. The majority of regions with hills have abruptly slopes which do not allow a good yield of the recommended crops. They are exposed to soil erosion which is the cause of poor yields. Agriculture occupies an important place in the economy of Rwanda as it is always the case in all developing countries. We have used different approaches and techniques to gather data for this paper. After the analysis of the research result we have found that cultivating rice through citizens’ organizations and made infrastructure in adjusted marsh allow producers to sell their yields on basis of a good market price thanks to the cooperative efforts to look for markets. The mastery of agricultural techniques, the cooperative system, the increase of revenue due to created jobs allow the cooperative members to satisfy their needs and their families’.
