Biography2023 2024 2025 2026
A commitment born in lecture halls.
Hugues Boole Ndombo founded the Mouvement Citoyen Éclairé in 2023, aiming to create a non-partisan civic space in the Democratic Republic of the Congo centred on education, responsibility and the training of a new generation of leaders. His approach starts from an observation: Congolese public debate often focuses on institutions and rarely on the individual behaviours that make them possible.
