Kinshasa, 15 October 2026 – The Centre de Recherche sur l’Anti-Corruption (CERC) has a new logo. We have redesigned it so that, at a glance, it says what we do and what we fix.
What we do: the magnifying glass
The C of CERC is now a magnifying glass. It stands for research – the heart of our name – and for the close look that citizens take at public services. CERC studies the causes and consequences of corruption, and gives students, parents and citizens the tools to monitor their schools, health centres and public projects, with our apps EduCheck, GovCheck, HealthCheck and UNCAC Tracker.
Where we work: the map of the Congo
Inside the lens is the map of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our work is for the Congo and its people – from the Integrity Clubs of South Kivu and Kinshasa to the courts, universities and public institutions where we promote integrity.
What we fix: the check
On the map, a white check stands for integrity – and for problems fixed. Our approach does not stop at finding problems: students trained by CERC helped fix 33% of the problems they identified in their schools, from classrooms and toilets to water supply. The check is the change we work for: public services that work for everyone, and institutions that are accountable to citizens.
A logo for every use
The logo uses CERC’s colours – navy, amber and orange – and comes in a full version with our name, a version for dark backgrounds and the magnifier symbol on its own, for social media and apps. You will now see it on our website, our reports and our documents.
