Relation entre la gouvernance managériale et la préparation de la succession dans les PME familiales congolaises: rôle médiateur du succès entrepreneurial : Relationship Between Managerial Governance and Succession Preparation in Congolese Family SMEs: The Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Success
(Journal of Small Business & Entrepreneurship, 2025-11) Mmenge, Adolphe; Et al.
This study tests the relationship between managerial governanceand succession planning among family small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as the mediating role of entrepreneurial success. Based on a sample of 299 family SMEs from Bukavu in Democratic Republic of Congo, results from structural equation modeling reveal that only two dimensions of managerial governance, namely altruism and communication, positively influence succession planning. The findings further support the mediating role of entrepreneurial success, indicating that the influence of these managerial governance dimensions on succession planning is channeled through entrepreneurial success

Vaccination strategies to achieve outbreak control for MPXV Clade I with a one-time mass campaign in sub-Saharan Africa: A scenario-based modelling study
(PLOS Medicine, 2025-09) Jin Shihui,; Et al.
Author summary Why was this study done? • The newly-emergent Clade Ib monkeypox virus (MPXV) can spread more easily between people compared to the previous Clade Ia MPXV, and can be transmitted through both sexual and non-sexual contacts. • Immunity from historical smallpox vaccination, which also offered protection against monkeypox, is waning with the ageing of the vaccinated population, increasing the risk of outbreaks in African countries. • While some countries in Africa began to receive mpox vaccine donations in late 2024, few studies have explored how mpox vaccination could be carried out in Africa, especially for one-time campaigns across sub-Saharan African countries at different time points. What did the researchers do and find? • We provided the first assessment of mpox vaccine demand for one-time mass vaccination across sub-Saharan Africa based on transmissibility projections up to year 2050, adjusted for the diminishing smallpox-immunised population. • The results suggested that as sexual transmission of Clade I MPXV becomes more prevalent, greater vaccination coverage and age-specific targeting would be needed. • We also found that prioritising high-risk age groups, such as children under 5 years and young adults aged 20–29 years, could reduce disease spread more effectively than distributing vaccines evenly across multiple age groups. What do these findings mean? • With increasing Clade I MPXV transmission potential over time and persistent risk of outbreaks, planning one-time mass vaccination campaigns can support effective responses, especially when supplies are limited and multiple countries are affected. • Where increasing sexual transmission is determined, vaccination strategies should adapt by shifting the priority from young children aged under 5 years to adults aged 20–29 years, which would also requires substantially greater minimum vaccination coverage to successfully control outbreaks. • These recommendations were based on information available about how Clade I MPXV was spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo up to December 2024.

Assessing Health Information System Data Quality Management in LifeNet-Supported Facilities in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo
(Asian Journal of Medicine and Health, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 1-10, 2025-11) Bwanondo, Kachelewa Sylvain,; et al.
Aims: To evaluate the quality of HIS data in LifeNet-supported facilities in South Kivu and correlate data completeness, accuracy, and timeliness with staff competency, training, and governance factors to validate current data management practices. This study is significant as it enhances understanding of data quality in LifeNet-supported health facilities, guiding improvements in information management and health service delivery in South Kivu. Study Design: A retrospective quantitative cross-sectional analytical research design. Place and Duration of Study: Study conducted in LifeNet International-supported health facilities across ten health districts in South Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo, including Idjwi, Ibanda, Kabare, Kadutu, Miti-Murhesa, Nundu, Nyangezi, Nyatende, Uvira, and Walungu, between October 2023 and March 2024. Methodology: This study included 155 healthcare workers from 74 LifeNet International-supported health facilities across ten districts in South Kivu Province, DRC. Data were collected through a retrospective review of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) records and a structured HIS Assessment Questionnaire administered to healthcare workers. Data completeness, accuracy, and timeliness were evaluated using the Verification Factor (VF). Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 28 to assess relationships between HIS data quality and influencing factors. Results: MCH data quality was high: accuracy 89%, consistency 87%, completeness 93.3%, and timeliness 86.7%. Health worker competency showed high neutrality—data aggregation 62.6%, in-service training 65.2%, electronic skills 72.3%, HMIS usability 61.9%, pre-service training 75.5%—indicating limited confidence in HIS skills. Challenges in data collection were notable, with 46.5% neutral on cross-checking, 71.6% unsure about functional databases, and 62.6% unclear on monitoring roles. Regression analysis indicated systemic challenges strongly predicted health information use (β = 0.850, p < 0.001), while individual competency was not significant, highlighting the need for improved operational support. Conclusion: Systemic challenges, more than individual competency, significantly affect health information use, highlighting the need for stronger operational support, clear roles, and targeted HIS capacity-building in facilities.

Contrôle des filiales de multinationales et leurs performances : étude exploratoire en contexte congolais
(UB, ED, 2025-11) Kwibuka Bashangwa
This research, entitled “Control of Multinational Subsidiaries and Their Performance: An Exploratory Study in the Congolese Context”, investigates the impact of parent companies’ control mechanisms on the performance of banking subsidiaries in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The study draws on agency theory, contingency theory, and international financial governance to link control, contextual dependence, and institutional asymmetry between the Global North and South. The methodology combines an exploratory qualitative approach with a quantitative analysis using the ARDL model on data from 2010 to 2022. Interviews with subsidiary managers emphasized the importance of balancing centralized supervision with local autonomy. ARDL results confirm a long-term relationship between net income (RNET) and base capital (FPB), with a positive coefficient of 0.1604, an adjustment speed of –1.2028, and 92.38 % of performance variations explained. Average solvency (23.14 %) exceeds the regulatory minimum of 10 %, while liquidity (126.08 %) reflects pressures due to low financial inclusion. Findings indicate that financial control significantly enhances return on equity, with an additional 1 USD of FPB increasing ROE by 0.1604 units. Strategic control positively affects long-term performance (+0.28), whereas excessive bureaucratic control negatively impacts performance (–0.27). Managers note that these mechanisms are sometimes poorly adapted to local conditions but strengthen discipline, transparency, and risk management.
