II. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARIAT

GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARIAT

The Administrative Secretary General is Professor Félicien MITI TSETA

Missions assigned to the Administrative Secretary General

During the 2016-2017 academic year, the General Administrative Secretariat of the University of Kinshasa, to which the following 6 Directorates are attached:

• the Human Resources Department;
• the Department of Social Affairs;
• the Directorate of Student Works;
• the Training Department;
• the Department of Cultural Affairs;
• the Technical Services and Maintenance Department,

has accomplished the 4 main missions assigned to it, namely the administrative mission, the social mission, the recreational and cultural mission, and the technical mission.

Administrative mission

Personnel Management

The Administrative General Secretariat managed 4,948 employees, including 4,024 active staff and 924 passive staff. The active staff is composed of 1,007 members of the academic staff (944 men and 63 women), 1,213 members of the scientific staff (1,025 men and 188 women) and 1,804 members of the administrative, technical and manual staff (1,379 men and 425 women). As for the passive staff, 924 employees were identified, divided into academic staff (165 cases), scientific staff (141 cases) and administrative staff (618 cases).

Staff Promotion

Out of a total of 1,288 files processed, 275 (i.e. 21.3%) were accepted with a favorable opinion from the Management Committee and the University Council and forwarded to the Board of Directors of the Universities of Congo.

Staff Training

The Training Department suggested to the Management Committee the organization of a series of training sessions to strengthen the capacities of the University of Kinshasa's staff and managers, particularly on the OHADA accounting system and on mastering IT tools (NTIC). Around a hundred members of the central and faculty administration took part in these various refresher sessions.

Social mission

Staff Remuneration

University authorities are campaigning for staff payments to be made under optimal conditions. Also, to protect these staff from increasing impoverishment, the system of loans at exaggerated interest rates, commonly known as "Lambert Bank," which was practiced by some individuals within the university community, has been abolished. Staff in need have been authorized to request an advance on their University partnership bonus.

Hospitalization and funeral of agents

University employees who hold a health card benefit from a reduced rate for their hospitalization or for the hospitalization of their family members at the University Clinics of Kinshasa.

Furthermore, in cases of death, the Management Committee grants a lump sum to relieve the families of the deceased, given the low funeral expenses previously allocated. And for the 2016-2017 academic year, 42 cases of death of staff were recorded, including 11 among members of the academic staff, 5 from the scientific staff and 26 from the administrative staff.

Staff Accommodation

During the 2016-2017 academic year, 17 staff members were housed at the Plateau des Résidents, including 9 from the academic staff, 7 from the scientific staff and 1 administrative manager.

Student Housing

The housing project was completed in April 2017. A total of 7,370 students (5,571 boys and 1,799 girls) were accommodated, with a capacity of 8,067 places distributed across student residences (4 boys' homes and 3 girls' homes). Some places were not allocated (697 places) because many rooms do not offer favorable living conditions due to their advanced deterioration. They require significant restoration work.

Student Health Insurance

The Mutual covered the health care costs of 1,226 students.

Fun and cultural mission

Sports and cultural activities were organized for students, in order to fulfill the sacrosanct principle of having a healthy mind in a healthy body, essential for the development of the spirit. These included the Rector's Challenge, the Deans' Challenges of 4 Faculties, the inter-corridor tournaments of 2 Homes and the boxing, judo and karate competitions. Regarding cultural activities, students participated in the Cultural Carnival organized by the Ministry of ESU as part of the day of June 30, 2017.

Technical mission

The Technical Services and Maintenance Department (DSTM) carried out work in the areas of electricity, plumbing and masonry, carpentry and adjustment, respectively in the Plateau Homes (H.1, H.4 and H.7), in Homes 20, 30, 80 and Binti II (Vatican) as well as in the Administrative Building, the former Central Restaurant building and the Sports Complex. This Department also carried out environmental sanitation work on the university site (raking of land, management of garbage, planting of flowers and maintenance of the facades around the building housing its offices). The visibility of the DSTM requires appropriate equipment.
