This article examines the digitalization of human resources (HR) at the Office National d’Identification de la Population (ONIP) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), emphasizing the pivotal role of information systems (IS) urbanization and strategic alignment as key levers. Using a qualitative methodology that combines semi-structured interviews with 15 stakeholders (HR managers, IT specialists, directors) and process analysis, we demonstrate the following outcomes: 40% reduction in HR processing time (from 7 to 4.2 days), 30% decrease in data entry errors through administrative task automation, 29% optimization of annual IT expenditures (from 120,000 to 85,000 USD), Increase in employee satisfaction scores from 58% to 82% (based on an internal survey of 200 employees). These results, derived from the implementation of a secure and modular HR information system (HRIS), underscore the efficacy of a structured approach in a fragile context. The article contributes to the literature on HR digital transformation in the African public sector by proposing a reproducible framework grounded in IS interoperability and collaborative governance.
