Abstract
Recent constitutional review processes in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have aimed to address governance challenges and promote democratic consolidation. The analysis will draw from legal and political science literature, focusing on constitutional review frameworks as key indicators for democratic progress in DRC. The theoretical framework elucidates how constitutional reviews can serve as pivotal tools for fostering democratic practices and enhancing public trust in government institutions. Policy makers should prioritise inclusive consultations during future reviews to ensure broad-based support and sustainable institutional development.
