DRC

We have been supporting peacebuilding and conflict prevention in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since 2010.

Our programmes contribute to increasing inclusive peace processes and decision making, building social cohesion, and improving analysis and understanding of conflict dynamics.

To achieve this, we work on key themes including youth leadership in governance and peacebuilding, democratic dialogue between communities and leaders, reducing natural resource management related conflict, strengthening regional social cohesion through cross-border trade, and engaging the private sector in promoting peace and equitable economic development.

We provide training to and support grassroots groups to influence high-level decision making. We work with communities to understand the conflict dynamics that they contend with, develop local solutions to build trust and prevent conflicts escalating, and communicate their vision for peace to high-level decision makers.

We also work with the government of DRC and its international partners to push for analysis driven policy making that responds to the needs of men, women and young people most affected by conflict.
