diff茅rentes parties prenantes. Faisant suite du premier, le point deux dresse l鈥檈ngagement et la participation citoyenne, notamment 脿 travers le volontariat, pour acc茅l茅rer les progr猫s vers les ODD.</p> </p> <p>Paragraph 2, page 20</p> <p><p>Accroitre l鈥檈ngagement et la participation citoyenne 脿 travers le volontariat pour acc茅l茅rer l鈥檃tteinte des ODDs en RD.Congo</p> <p><br /> La R茅publique D茅mocratique du Congo a une longue tradition du volontariat. Celle-ci se manifeste 脿 travers l鈥檈ntraide, la solidarit茅 et l鈥檋ospitalit茅 qui caract茅rise son peuple. Outre le volontariat traditionnel et formel, il y a lieu d鈥櫭﹙oquer le volontariat institutionnel consacr茅 depuis 2002 par l鈥檃rr锚t茅 portant cr茅ation, au sein du minist猫re du Plan, du Secr茅tariat National du Volontariat en R茅publique D茅mocratique du Congo, SNV-RDC en sigle.<br /> Le volontariat demeure l鈥檜n des outils cl茅s pour optimiser la participation des diff茅rents groupes de la population aux efforts de d茅veloppement de la RDC. Les Congolais restent un peuple r茅silient et responsable, capable de prendre les choses en main pour contribuer volontairement 脿 l鈥檃m茅lioration de leur bien-锚tre, la s茅curit茅, la consolidation de la paix et la r茅ponse aux d茅fis de d茅veloppement. Les volontaires, surtout les jeunes et les femmes, font la diff茅rence 脿 travers les actions d鈥檈ntraide mutuel, d鈥檃ide aux vuln茅rables, de mobilisation des masses pour r茅pondre aux d茅sastres, d鈥檈ngagement dans des campagnes d鈥櫭ヾucation massive de la population sur divers th茅matiques dont la sant茅, hygi猫ne, assainissement, et protection de l鈥檈nvironnement. Les jeunes ont surtout d茅montr茅 l鈥檌mportance de leurs actions de volontariat lors de la r茅ponse au Covid-19 et des r茅cents d茅sastres dues aux pluies diluviennes et a l鈥櫭ヽoulement des terrains.<br /> <br /> Le gouvernement de la RDC a longtemps reconnu et int茅gr茅 le volontariat parmi les outils cl茅s d鈥檃cc茅l茅ration du d茅veloppement 脿 travers la participation accrue des citoyens. Dans ce cadre, le volontariat b茅n茅ficie d鈥檜n cadre l茅gal et politique cr茅ant un environnement favorable. L鈥檃rticle 43 de la loi n掳 004/2001 du 20 juillet 2012 portant dispositions g茅n茅rales applicables aux associations sans but lucratif et aux 茅tablissements d鈥檜tilit茅 publique stipule que les Organisations Non-Gouvernementales doivent susciter la participation volontaire des communaut茅s de base 脿 la d茅finition et 脿 la mise en 艙uvre des actions de d茅veloppement qui les concernent. L鈥檃rr锚t茅 minist茅riel No. 016 / CABMIN / PLRM / 2015 portant cr茅ation du Secretariat National du Volontariat pose les bases des activit茅s de volontariat dans le pays.<br /> Tel qu鈥檃nnonc茅 par la Vice-premi猫re ministre et ministre du Plan, le samedi 5 d茅cembre 2020, 脿 l鈥檕ccasion de la Journ茅e Internationale du Volontariat (JIV), le gouvernement congolais a 茅labor茅 une politique nationale du volontariat qui est un gage programmatique dans l鈥檕rientation des actions du volontariat dans le pays. La politique nationale du volontariat constitue un cadre qui d茅finira comment la R茅publique D茅mocratique du Congo, en tant que Nation, va utiliser le volontariat pour contribuer 脿 son d茅veloppement. En plus du cadre l茅gal et politique, la planification sectorielle int猫gre le volontariat. A titre d鈥檈xemple, le Plan national de d茅veloppement sanitaire 2016-2024 promeut le recours au volontariat pour la provision des services dans les AS o霉 l鈥檃ccessibilit茅 g茅ographique au centre de sant茅 constitue un obstacle majeur 脿 travers des prestations des soins par relais volontaires form茅s et supervis茅 pour prendre en charge certaines affections courantes, particuli猫rement chez les enfants de moins de cinq ans.<br /> L鈥檃nalyse situationnelle sur le volontariat en RDC montre que les volontaires et les organisations de volontariat contribuent surtout 脿 l鈥檃tteinte des ODD 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16 et 17. A titre d鈥檈xemples, depuis 2020, au moins 400 volontaires des nations unies (VNU) ont 茅t茅 d茅ploy茅s annuellement dans le cadre de l鈥橭DD 16. Durant la p茅riode de 2020-2022, plus de 1.500 volontaires ont 茅t茅 d茅ploy茅s par le programme VNU. Dans la m锚me p茅riode, la Croix Rouge RDC a mobilis茅 des milliers de volontaires pour fournir des services et r茅pondre aux situations d鈥檜rgence dans les domaines de la sant茅 (sant茅 de la reproduction, VIH, vaccination, polio, paludisme, etc.), eau, hygi猫ne publique, assainissement et protection de l鈥檈nvironnement. En plus, les volontaires des Croix Rouge interviennent dans les actions de rel猫vement, lutte contre le changement climatique, pr茅vention, mitigation et pr茅paration aux catastrophes et conflits. Ils assurent 茅galement des formations de Premiers Secours 脿 Base Communautaire, Secourisme Op茅rationnel et des formations sp茅cifiques, groupes des personnes, entreprises ou organisation ou membres des communaut茅s qui en expriment le besoin. Vu le r么le crucial que joue le volontariat dans le d茅veloppement et la consolidation de la paix en RDC, le gouvernement compte se doter d鈥檜n Programme National de Volontariat des Jeunes. A travers des discussions de haut niveau avec des partenaires au d茅veloppement dont France Volontaire et le syst猫me des nations unies, les efforts dans ce cadre vont vers l鈥櫭﹍aboration d鈥檜ne feuille de route pour la mise en place d鈥檜n programme national de volontariat en R茅publique D茅mocratique du Congo qui permettra d鈥檃ccroitre l鈥檈ngagement des volontaires, surtout les femmes et les jeunes, dans les activit茅s ax茅es vers l鈥檃cc茅l茅ration de l鈥檃tteinte des ODD. Le programme du volontariat consiste 脿 permettre aux jeunes congolais de mettre leurs comp茅tences au service du d茅veloppement dans le domaine de l鈥櫭ヾucation, la sant茅, l鈥檈nvironnement, la gestion des ressources naturelles dans tous les domaines pour un d茅veloppement durable. En plus du programme national de volontariat, le gouvernement ne m茅nagera aucun effort pour faciliter l鈥檌nt茅gration du volontariat comme outil acc茅l茅rateur de la mise en 艙uvre des initiatives de d茅veloppement durable 脿 travers diff茅rents secteurs du pays et institutions cl茅s.</p> </p> <label>Paragraphs that mention the integration of volunteering into development plans, policies and strategies</label> <p>Paragraph 1, page 20</p> <p><p>1.
