The Union for Development and Decent Habitat “UDHAD” in acronym was created in  Uvira, South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo on June 30, 2020, as an act of awareness of the daughters and sons of Uvira on their responsibility in the development of the Congo 60 years after its independence. 

UDHAD was established as a non-governmental community development organization to support people in their efforts to build sustainable, prosperous and healthy communities. UDHAD also wants to be an organization dedicated to the environment, to ecological construction, to the mobilization of the Congolese diaspora to support the development of the country and also to the training of young people to be able to take charge of themselves to usefully contribute to growth. social, economic and environmental communities. 

Commitment  

We initiated our efforts to prepare this guide based on our belief in the need for UDHAD.  This UDHAD Institutional Guide in the Light of Corporate Governance Principles has been formulated since UDHAD will operate in various fields with various objectives to enrich its traditional management methods with the best practices of institutional governance and the guide and help him manage his own strengths and effectiveness. 

For this basis, one could say that a good understanding of the powerful governance of the UDHAD would be too important on the basis of the following realities: 

• Allows a better quality and quantity of membership structures, which is the fundamental value for a non-governmental organization. 
• Respects the principle of equity in relations with members. 
• Supports the establishment of an internal audit system in the light of transparency and accountability, ensures that activities are in the best public interest and helps prevent corruption and bad practices. 
• In light of the principle of responsibility, guarantees compliance with legal regulations and serves as a model of good practice for members and stakeholders through the internalization of these practices. 
• Ensures the establishment of a healthy communication platform between all stakeholders such as members, media organizations, public authorities, sponsors and support institutions on the issues advocated and ensures the credibility of the organization, 
• While facilitating the planning and implementation of the leadership rotation process, it decreases the losses that may arise at this stage. 
• Help the governance structure become its best possible version. 

There is no doubt that meeting these expectations will only be possible by adopting the governance principles of UDHAD as a corporate culture. 

However, the purpose of this manual is to guide the governance processes of UDHAD in accordance with its statutes and organizational practices. It aims to help and support the assembly and the council to act on behalf of the organization of their functions, responsibilities, and the various legislative and regulatory conditions which govern their conduct.
