Reseña del libro "Sustainable development and intercommunality in Congo-Kinshasa (en Inglés)"
A topical notion, sustainable development preserves the environment, the economy, social justice, culture and participatory democracy. Based on five fundamental principles: the precautionary principle, the principle of responsibility, the principle of solidarity, the principle of subsidiarity and the principle of transversality, sustainable development today pursues 17 objectives adopted by the members of the UN in 2015. In the DRC, when Communes decide to intercommunalize their public services of common interest, they will have to take into account the objectives, pillars, issues and principles of sustainable development, so that local legislation can comply with national and international legislation on the subject. This is why public services of common interest relating to the environment, the economy, social justice, culture and participative democracy can be colored by the objectives, pillars, challenges and principles of sustainable development. It is in this sense that sustainable development could have a certain impact on the intercommunalisation of public services in our country.
