The cultural coordinator

For decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been lacking in prevention and protection for vulnerable children. Some solutions seem to be envisaged and applied throughout the country, but without the expected results. And yet we continue to deplore the presence of vulnerable, abused, endangered and discriminated children. In this study our contribution is summed up in the effort to understand the role of the cultural facilitator in the phenomenon of vulnerable childhood. This demonstrates the vital role played by the cultural facilitator in society. This article also analyses the management of the phenomenon in general, and the situation of vulnerable children in particular, in the cosmopolitan city of Kinshasa, which is home to many of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s tribes. Our concern is to provide innovations for the effective prevention and protection of vulnerable children. The system to be redesigned will therefore include the following headings: general considerations, consequences and strategic perspectives.
