Abstract
Mr. Luenda is the director of the Civil Registration and Population Office in the Urban Division of the Ministry of the Interior (Democratic Republic of the Congo). He manages Kinshasa province’s civil registration services with particular responsibility for legal, contentious, and administrative issues. After an in-depth analysis, Luenda developed guides to improve both civil registration and population services, and organized training sessions for staff at all levels, followed by annual refresher courses. As a youth, and the eldest and only boy of nine children in a polygamous family in Kinshasa, “I was already concerned about the civil status of my three mothers and we children,” he says.
