L’Administration Publique en République Démocratique du Congo suscite des commentaires les plus divers. Le constat général traduit par des propos stéréotypés est que rien ne va. Le malaise observé au sein de cette Administration Publique ne date pas de nos jours, mais plutôt de plusieurs décennies derrière nous. Il remonte bien évidemment à l’époque coloniale. En vue d’une Administration Publique de développement en République Démocratique du Congo, plusieurs réformes ont été initiées, mais sans résultats optimaux. La mise en place des structures standards au sein de l’Administration Publique congolaise qui présente un caractère innovant et prometteur ne peut être une stratégie de réussite que si et seulement si certains préalables sont respectés notamment : le respect rigoureux des textes à la matière, le recrutement objectif des animateurs qui ne sera pas seulement réservé aux seuls fonctionnaires de l’Etat mais aussi aux énarques (ENA) ; et l’accompagnement tous azimuts pour une retraite paisible des fonctionnaires de l’Etat.

The organizational change has become imperative for the survival and competitiveness of public administrations. The majority of economic actors have found themselves compelled to adapt to new factors and adjust to the new digital landscape in the face of the advent of covid-19. Conversely, every public administration without exception has undergone profound changes in their work organization methods, introducing the development of digital technology, which represents the backbone of the production process, in order to enhance its performance. The covid-19 crisis has given a boost to morocco's digital economy. Development is expected to continue. For this reason, we believe that digital transformation is a complex and challenging change process, and it is indeed a burning issue and an urgent need. Organizational change encounters resistance at the level of the target population. In order for them to realize the potential of these new technologies, they must change their current models to quickly adapt to changes in their environment. The purpose of this article is to present the contribution of organizational change that enables the transition towards digital transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La présente étude porte sur l'administration publique, comprise comme l'ensemble des organes par lesquels l'Etat passe pour réaliser les différentes activités qui répondent aux besoins d'intérêt général dans le but de son développement tous azimuts. En Afrique comme ailleurs, il est consacré un certain nombre de principes dont l'application effective peut mesurer le degré d'une bonne administration publique. Le premier point a relevé le contenu de chacun de ces principes avant d'indiquer leurs fondements juridiques africains. Par ailleurs, le second point a soulevé et démontré les difficultés que rencontre le continent africain dans la mise en œuvre desdits principes à l'image, d'une part, de la politisation et bien d'autres anti valeurs qui minent les administrations publiques, et d'autre part, leurs caractères dépassé et inadapté qui les plongent dans une forte crise de légitimité. Pour remédier à ces tares, il est proposé entre autres, d’instituer un serment d'ingratitude et de favoriser la numérisation des procédures administratives.

Much of political science rests on assumptions about how policy makers and citizens behave. However, questions remain about how public policy can improve the government–citizen relationship. In this research note, we present behavioural insights (BI) as one way to address this gap. First, we argue that BI can be strategically used both to alleviate administrative burdens and to enhance citizen experience. Second, we argue that BI interventions can assist in several stages of the policy process, strengthening causal inferences about policy efficacy. Third, we present original data from Canada's ongoing experimentation with BI across multiple jurisdictions and areas of public policy. We conclude by acknowledging the myriad pathways through which BI research can engage with public policy to support the enhancement of citizen-oriented service delivery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cette étude a pour objet l’analyse de l’opérationnalité du management des ressources humaines au sein de la Fonction Publique de la République Démocratique du Congo. Elle se propose d’étudier les causes qui sont à la base de l’inefficacité ou d’une faible productivité des ressources humaines du secteur public et envisage les mécanismes pour pallier à ces problèmes afin de rendre l’appareil de l’Etat plus habile dans son action en améliorant aussi les conditions de travail et de vie des fonctionnaires et agents de carrière des services publics de l’Etat. Ainsi, la culture d’excellence s’avère une meilleure option pour pallier aux problèmes du déficit managérial à la fonction publique dont la photographie relève plusieurs faiblesses de gestion et le déficit du management des ressources humaines. Cela engendre ainsi plusieurs défis à relever pour une gestion efficace de cet appareil de l’Etat afin d’assurer le développement du pays.

Résumé : Le présent article sur la maîtrise des effectifs dans la Fonction Publique Congolaise s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'assainissement de l’administration publique caractérisée par une pléthore des effectifs avec un impact significatif sur le budget de l’état. Ladite maitrise des effectifs avec comme corollaire la maitrise de la masse salariale doit servir à dénombrer les agents réellement en activité, identifier ceux qui sont parvenus à la retraite et élaguer tous les fictifs. Pour qu'elle soit effective, plusieurs reforment et contrôles ont été initiés produisant aucun résultat concret. La maitrise des effectifs reste parmi les axes prioritaires du gouvernement dans le cadre de réforme de l'administration publique. Pour y arriver, certaines étapes sont à respecter; fixer les attributions de chaque ministère de manière à éviter des conflits de compétences, passer à l'harmonisation des cadres et structures organiques pour connaitre le nombre exact des emplois réels de chaque ministère, procéder à la mise en place de ces emplois conformément aux cadres organiques définis et enfin initier des contrôles et évaluations de programme mis en place.

Résume : À ce jour, le dialogue social porte essentiellement sur les réformes économiques et l'équité sociale. Cette dernière incluant à la fois les questions de protection sociale et de salaire minimum. C'est ainsi qu'il est considéré comme un outil qui permet de régler plus efficacement et plus exhaustivement les conflits du travail. Cette réflexion sera consacrée aux bases juridiques et aux théories qui soutiennent le dialogue social dans l'administration publique congolaise. Dans cette étude, il est question de faire une analyse des différentes facettes sur le dialogue social dans l'Administration publique congolaise. Ceci nous amène à jeter un regard sur les instruments juridiques régissant le dialogue social en RDC, les théories générales qui fondent le dialogue social, sa pratique dans l'Administration publique de la RDC, le fonctionnement du cadre permanent du dialogue social et l'analyse sur l'accord de Mbudi par rapport à son application. Fort est à constater que tous les efforts consentis pour avoir cet accord sont resté comme une feuille morte jusqu’à ce jour. L’accord de Mbudi en RDC souffre de non-application.

On the one hand, technological advances and their enthusiastic uptake by government entities are seen as a push toward a Canadian dystopic state, with friendly bureaucrats being replaced by impassive machines. On the other hand, embracing technology is considered a confident move of the Canadian administrative state toward an utopian low-cost, high-impact decision making process. I will suggest in this paper that the truth--for the moment, at least--lies somewhere between the extremes of dystopia and utopia. In the federal public administration, technology is being deployed in a variety of areas, but rarely, if ever, displacing human decision making. Indeed, technology tends to be leveraged in areas of public policy that don't involve any settling of benefits, statuses, licenses, and so on. We are still a long way from sophisticated machine learning tools deciding whether marriages are genuine, whether taxpayers are compliant or whether nuclear facilities are safe. The reality is more down to earth. In this paper, I map out the uses of algorithms and machine learning in the federal public administration in Canada. I will briefly explain my methodology in Part I; in Part II, I identify seven different use cases, which I describe with the aid of representative examples, and offer some critical reflections.

Canada has not escaped trends in most liberal democracies with the rapid growth of agencies created by government to deliver public goods, often justified on elements of their mandate—service delivery, adjudication of disputes, regulatory oversight, among others—benefiting from an arm's-length relationship to the government of the day. Yet Canadian studies of this phenomenon remain mostly absent from the robust comparative literature theorizing and documenting the emergence of widespread "agencification" and its relationship to performance. This article draws on the Government of Canada's Public Service Employee Survey (PSES) microdata from 2017 to test key hypotheses advanced by proponents of agencification, specifically that agencies are more innovative, autonomous and efficient public organizations. We discover that those working in agencies generally report less climate of innovation and less work autonomy than those working in departments, though some types of agencies—namely regulatory and parliamentary ones—defy these trends.

Aujourd’hui, la mise en place des projets de gestion des connaissances est fortement sollicitée et facilitée par la mobilisation des technologies de l’information et de communication (TIC) qui offrent les moyens de visibilité pratiques permettant de générer une base énorme de connaissances facilement accessible et exploitable par les différents utilisateurs. Le présent travail a pour objet d’explorer le rôle assigné aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) dans les processus de gestion des connaissances, afin de faciliter la gestion du capital intellectuel des organisations. Il s’agira précisément de comprendre l’apport de l'adoption et l'utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) dans les différentes étapes du processus de gestion des connaissances, plus particulièrement le cas d’une administration publique marocaine.

The recent debate on administrative bodies in international organizations has brought forward multiple theoretical perspectives, analytical frameworks, and methodological approaches. Despite these efforts to advance knowledge on these actors, the research program on international public administrations (IPAs) has missed out on two important opportunities: reflection on scholarship in international relations (IR) and public administration and synergies between these disciplinary perspectives. Against this backdrop, the essay is a discussion of the literature on IPAs in IR and public administration. We found influence, authority, and autonomy of international bureaucracies have been widely addressed and helped to better understand the agency of such non-state actors in global policy-making. Less attention has been given to the crucial macro-level context of politics for administrative bodies, despite the importance in IR and public administration scholarship. We propose a focus on agency and politics as future avenues for a comprehensive, joint research agenda for international bureaucracies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article refutes official and scholarly accounts of the history of relationships between Inuit and the Canadian state that suggest that the state neglected its Arctic citizens in the period prior to 1950. Instead, the article argues that the early decades of contact between state representatives and the Inuit witnessed the construction and deployment of a distinctive form of colonial rule. Materially, such rule involved the articulation of subsistence and mercantile modes of production, meaning that Inuit livelihoods came to depend upon blending quasi-traditional hunting and fishing practices with the trapping and trading of fox furs. Symbolically, such rule assigned Canadian state representatives the noble task of protecting the Inuit – first, from the incursion of civilization and, later, from their own putative deficiencies. Grounded in archival research focused on the area now known as the Kitikmeot, this article narrates three phases in the early evolution of colonialism, phases that can be summarized as protecting Inuit, disciplining Inuit, and defending colonial rule. Through critically re-interpreting archival documents, this article presents a robust critique of official discourses regarding early Inuit–state relationships, thereby constructing a stronger foundation for postcolonial research that gives prominence to Inuit experiences of, and responses to, those relationships.

Plusieurs études relèvent une diversification des méthodes en Administration publique contemporaine. Cette étude fait un état des lieux systématique et comparé, sur une décennie, des méthodes de recherche publiées dans deux revues nationales en administration publique. Les recherches publiées en Administration publique au Canada, ainsi qu’en Australie, semblent en décalage sur la communauté mondiale en Administration publique au plan méthodologique. Notre revue systématique révèle toutefois peu de différences entre les deux revues : les entrevues et analyses qualitatives de contenu sont courantes dans les deux échantillons, mais les techniques quantitatives utilisées demeurent élémentaires. Il s’agit d’une particularité qui n’est pas partagée avec la recherche en science politique canadienne.

L’audit interne est une fonction contributive à la performance gouvernementale. Pour atteindre son objectif qui est de donner une assurance raisonnable quant à la maîtrise des risques d’une organisation, les normes internationales et les textes régissant la fonction exigent qu’elle soit objective et indépendante. Cet article présente un état des lieux de l’indépendance des auditeurs internes dans l’administration publique du Québec et une analyse de ses implications. Les données de l’étude proviennent d’un portrait de la fonction d’audit interne dans les ministères et organismes réalisé par le Secrétariat du Conseil du trésor. Selon nos résultats, si les règles d’indépendance perçue sont bien établies dans l’administration publique québécoise, l’indépendance réelle des auditeurs internes pourrait être renforcée, et le comité d’audit pourrait jouer un rôle important en ce sens.

Internal audit is a contributive function to government performance. To achieve its objective of providing reasonable assurance of an organization's risk management, international standards and the texts governing the function require that it must be objective and independent. This article reviews the independence of internal auditors in the Québec public administration and presents an analysis of its implications. The data for this study come from a descriptive study of the internal audit function in departments and agencies produced by the Treasury Board Secretariat. According to our results, if the rules of perceived independence are well established in Quebec's public administration, the real independence of internal auditors could be strengthened and, the audit committee could play an important role in that respect.

Several studies reveal a diversification of methods in contemporaneous Public Administration. This study takes systematic stock of and compares the research methods used over one decade of published research in two national journals in Public Administration. Research papers published in Canada, as well as in Australia, have apparently not followed methodological developments in the wider Public Administration community. Our systematic review revealed minor differences between these two communities : interviews and qualitative content analysis are popular in both samples, whereas quantitative methods remain basic. This particularity is not shared by Canadian political science research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cet article examine la création et l’évolution des modèles déférentiels de contrôle dans quatre systèmes juridiques (France, Italie, Etats-Unis et Canada). Cette perspective historique servira à démontrer (i) que la position juridictionnelle auto-restrictive peut avoir des significations très distinctes et (ii) que dans certains systèmes juridiques, la déférence est fortement disséminée, alors que dans d’autres, elle se trouve en plein déclin.
