Rehabilitation and equipment of 3 classroms at CAJED School in Ndosho, North kivu, DRC Democratic republic of Congo is facing a Security problem in North Kivu, with ethnic’s tension which has lasted more than 15 years. The result of this being the massive internal displacement of its population. In June 2012, DRC has more than 2 million IDP, with over 200,000 newer IDP in surrounding Goma town. Ndosho is a slum street surrounding Goma, with more than 66,800 people. Among them 40,347 (60%) are IDP from Masisi and Rutshuru, the two territory most affected by the conflict in North Kivu. Those IDP and their host families have limited access to basic social services and facilities. 95% of families in this area are very poor, so than ¾ children aged from 5 to 18 are not at school. CAJED, our long lasting partner is particularly interested by Child protection and education, Had initiated in the last Five years a primary and secondary to increase opportunity and access to education or marginalised children living in Ndosho; and a vocational training centre funded by cafod since 2003. The aim of the current project is to expand the existing classrooms by rehabilitating 3 additional classrooms, to increasing 60% of student enrolment,(from 90 to 225) with an average of 45 student per classroom. The project hopes to bring a strong impact in the live of boys and girls who will attend this school, and in the life of men and women, parents of those children. Parents will no longer be asked to pay special fees for rehabilitation during a period of 5 years, and the school fees during that period will be reduced up to 25% (from 12$/month to 9$/month). CAJED will hire a consultant engineer to conduct the rehabilitation, during a period of maximum 3 months. In the meantime, the equipment (school desk, black board, teacher’s seat and desk) will be prepared by youth who has been trained at cajed vocational training centre for a cheaper price.
Multisectoral emergency assistance to the people affected by flood in Kindu city, Maniema Province, Heavy rain often accompanied by strong winds frequently hit the town of Kindu and its surroundings. All morning of Friday, January 21st 2022, between 8:45 a.m. and 12:18 p.m., was disrupted by the storm.  Torrential rain fell on Kindu, this overflowed the banks of various rivers (Mikelenge, Kapondjo, Kano, Kabondo and Mangobo) which flow through the city. The flooding, which in places one and a half meters, caused enormous damage: houses, essential household items, food stocks from households located along rivers have been submerged in flood waters. In addition, hundreds of water points have been contaminated by runoff. 
A total of 3799 households (18,995 people) have been affected by this crisis, among them: 2665 households directly affected by the flood and 1134 host families. In total 2270 houses were negatively impacted: including 1,867 partially destroyed and 403 completely collapsed. 6 people are missing and 4 people are dead. These communities are currently living in severe vulnerability; affected households are no longer able to observe the barrier measures as the city of Kindu faces the COVID-19 pandemic. There's a high risk of the outbreak of positive cases of COVID-19 as a con sequence. The most affected sectors remain those of NFIs, shelter, food security and protection during this time of the coronavirus pandemic.
Displaced households are in host families, public places, in undamaged parts of certain dwellings, etc. with risk of malnutrition, the spread of water-borne diseases or even the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic following promiscuity within host families.  All these risk are likely to materialise in the following weeks if no assistance is provided.
Women advocacy and safeguarding International Women's Day, celebrated every year on March 8, focus this year on "Fair thinking, smart building and innovation for change"
The theme proposes to reflect on innovative ways to advance gender equality and women's empowerment, particularly in the following areas: social protection systems, access to public services and the construction of sustainable infrastructure.
Achieving the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires transformative change, integrated approaches and new solutions, especially when it comes to promoting gender equality and empowering all women and men. girls. The observation of the current curves suggests that current actions will not be sufficient for the establishment of a 50-50 Planet by 2030.
Innovative approaches that break with the status quo are essential to removing structural barriers and ensuring that no woman or girl is left behind. 
This links with CAFOD’s approach to protection mainstreaming, accountability, gender and inclusion, brought together under the banner of “Leave No One Behind”.  APROFIME, a CAFOD partner has planned to advocate for this topic during the month related to advance women's rights.
Support to organization of local participatory governance committees at community level This project will be implemented in the Archdiocese of Bukavu. The CDJP Bukavu aims to show to the populations, organized in 160 local participatory governance Committees, how to analyze the situation of their respective surrounding in order to formulate concrete propositions for the improvement of their life conditions.
The task is to show populations how to apply themselves, through an organized civil society and acting together, to take hold of the important decisions that concern them, how to control the work of elected officials and how to participate in an efficient manner in the management of wealth generated locally.
The following activities will be conducted:
-  Civic and electoral education and training monitors to prepare the population for local elections, which are the starting point for processes of decentralization of political authority 
- Monitoring the imposition of taxes at a local level and the expenditure of tax income 
- Organizing dialogue sessions with local administration officials on topics of local governance interest
- Communicating the outcomes through newsletters and public/private media 
These activities will avoid a return to social crisis in this period running up to local elections and will reinforce and protect the democratic achievements to date. This is a new level of responsible participation and an active management of new democratic space.
Participation of Mrs Mema Mapenzi to summit on ending sexual violence in conflict The UK Government is calling for international action to address the problem of sexual violence in conflict. The Initiative is
working to replace the culture of impunity for sexual violence committed in conflict with one of deterrence - by increasing the number of perpetrators brought to justice both internationally and nationally; by strengthening international efforts and co-ordination to prevent and respond to sexual violence; and by supporting states to build their national capacity. All the governments that have endorsed the UN Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict will be invited, as will legal, military and judicial practitioners and representatives from multilateral organisations, NGOs and civil society.  It is in this spirit that CAFOD and its partners were invited to the conference organised by The Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict on 10-13 June 2014 in ExCeL London.
This one of its kind conference was launched by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague and UN Special Envoy for Refugees Angelina Jolie in 2012. As a country that has suffered many atrocities and sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war, the DRC will add value to the conference by sharing it experience.
Therese Mema Mapenzi is a programme Officer in charge of sexual violence prevention from the Justice and Peace commission (CDJP) Bukavu, will represent our partners. She has been working on the SIMAMA project that provides psychosocial counselling to women victims of sexual violence and care for children. She has been in constant contact with both victims and perpetrators for many years and she is a valid witness of what the DRC has seen.  During the visit to the UK, Mema Mapenzi will:
-      Participate in the summit and present on the situation in DRC and share her experience.; 
-      Advocate for the active involvement of World leaders in fight against sexual violence and the return to peace in the
Great Lakes region where sexual violence and impunity has become a culture;
-      Feed back to other partners when she if back in DRC;  
-      Meet with CAFOD donors, including church leaders and supporters
Promoting accountability in the extractive sector This project is built around two themes - the continued support to the national advocacy process on the new mining code and - direct support to the monitoring and advocacy work of two Observatories of Natural Resources (Kongolo and Kilua-Kasenga).
The project will support advocacy initiatives on the revision of the DRC Mining Code so that it can reflects the interests of the population and consider the  interests of other stakeholders, namely the state and mining companies while taking into account environmental principles and sustainable development of the country. 
The draft of the mining code was lined up for debate at the National Assembly, and present action plans for continued efforts to ensure amendments are considered by he parliamentarians. Currently,  the mining code is under revision process. This has made the subject to further analysis and vote in the national parliament room after it was edited and amended by the Civil Society, the Mining Enterprises and the Government. It is unfortunately that amendments proposed by the SC have not been included in the final document and yet the bill was blocked in Parliament following pressure from mining companies. With regard to this, the SC with the support of several international NGOs continue to initiate advocacy process with the Parliament, the Senate, and the Government in order to incorporate amendments of the SC before this is voted in the parliament. 
The project will facilitate advocacy meeting at all levels, and publish documents needed to assert the well - being of populations affected by mining.
On the other hand the project is to support two observatories of natural resources (ORN Kongolo and Kilua-Kasenga) in monitoring the exploitation of natural resources and the support the vulnerable local population living in these areas. The project will support the dioceses in its mission to monitor NR exploitation by sensitizing the population on:
- Available legal texts on natural resources (Mining Code, Forestry Code, Land Code ...)
- Community rights and obligations in regards to Copper mining by the company Trafigura (former Anvil Mining) in Pweto and exploitation of cassiterite and coltan in the north, especially to Mitwaba, commonly called "death triangle".
- Sensitize the community on the current Laodito-si with specific focus on the fight against bush fires and reforestation process
- Collect information  and evidenced to inform the global church advocacy efforts
- strengthen the capacity of local communities to establish tripartite dialogue through consultation frameworks for more accountability 
This project will as well cover partially the cost of the training of the trainers on the protection and conservation of ecosystem in the Congo basin and on environmental education in the context of fighting the climate change in Africa.
Facilitating the final evaluation of the Peace-Building program prior to future programming For the past 4 years, CAFOD has been carrying out a peacebuilding program in the sub-region with partners from the Church of Burundi, Rwanda and the DRC. Based on the lessons learned from these four years of implementation of this peacebuilding program, it is clear that there is a need for a new comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying cause of conflict and encourages increased joint initiatives aimed at to develop joint projects that promote multisectoral cooperation and particularly benefit local communities. It is with this in mind that we plan to undertake a thorough evaluation of the peace building program in order to better guide the future of our peacebuilding interventions, particularly in three dioceses where CAFOD's peacebuilding program is implemented. These are the dioceses of Bukavu, Goma and Uvira in DR Congo. We seek to evaluate the impact of our interventions for the benefit of the aforementioned dioceses, to analyze the political and socio-economic factors of lasting peace in this context, the structures and trends in intercommunal relations, the peace initiatives led by the communities and how this can be related to the peacebuilding program implemented by CAFOD with its partners. These results may therefore guide reflections on the continuation of peace building interventions in the next phase of this program.
• Assessing the extent to which CAFOD partners, namely the CDJP concerned, with the support of CAFOD, have fully implemented the activities foreseen by this project / program (outputs or outputs), the achievements made (effects or outcomes), and measure in particular the results achieved (impacts) for the direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project;
• Measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the project / program (P / P), as a sustainable intervention and its impact on beneficiaries based on P / P indicators and the degree of satisfaction of beneficiaries and the local community at the organizational level, the process of the process (identification and registration of beneficiaries and delivery of assistance), identifying best practices and lessons learned that could other sustainable development interventions but also for the continuation of this Peace Building program;
• Evaluating efforts to contribute to conflict prevention and reduce their impact on the target population and victims through peacebuilding activities that have been integrated into this P / P and draw lessons for future interventions ;
• Developing a thorough and comprehensive diagnostic analysis of conflict issues and community integration (drivers, structures, trends in community relations as well as joint initiatives to develop joint projects that promote cooperation and benefit basic communities)
• Identifying the major challenges and priorities for further CAFOD Peacebuilding program interventions in line with the results of the evaluation.
Supporting an emergency humanitarian assistance following the outbreak of the Ebola in Beni & Lubero The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remains active. While substantial progress has been made to limit the spread of the disease to new areas and the situation in Mangina (in Mabalako Health Zone) is stabilizing, the cities of Butembo, Musienene, Katwa and Masereka have become the new hotspots. LDS has awarded CAFOD project to be implemented by Caritas Butembo-Beni. Proposed project plans support the implementing partner to raise awareness on sanitization and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) to prevent the spread of the EVD; to ensure the safety of frontline health care workers and volunteers by providing personal protective equipment (PPEs) and, providing assistance to displaced communities in the area in food and NFIs as a consequence of the Ebola outbreak. 
Implementing partner ‘aim is to ensure travellers, local leaders, religious leaders, youths, motorbike taxi drivers, drivers are aware of Ebola prevention and early care and work closely with Ebola response teams to strengthen community engagement. This project will provide food and NFI support to 996 affected IDPs and host households (directly impacted by the outbreak, cases or contact) in Mabalako health area in Beni territory.
Supporting the protection and community recovery of 225 victims of sexual violence in Djugu and Irum The crisis in which DRC suffered since early 90s has thrown the country into sad situation characterized by atrocious murders, rape and sexual violence. In the District of Ituri  and more specifically in the territories of Djugu and Irumu, these war have turned into opposition between communities causing looting of property, destruction of public infrastructures including hospitals, health centres, schools without forgetting forced displacement of populations such that the humanitarian situation is almost generally catastrophic for all the people of most part of the Diocese of Bunia. Given the importance of dehumanizing situation which affects the blossoming of the whole population of the Diocese of Bunia, their present focus is mainly to contribute to the recovery of the human dignity by relaunching self support activities of 470 survivors of armed conflicts in Ituri by 2015.  
To achieve this, Caritas Bunia will:
- Organize affected population in clubs to deal with threats of their rights
-Take action which can reduce by 10% rape incidents and violence based gender
Assist victims of rape and gender based violence with psycho social, medical and Income generating activities supports’
-  organise session/training workshop for members of club SIMAMA on human rights, exchange visits between members of clubs SIMAMA, the political & administrative authorities and civil society members.
Promoting good governance in achieving inclusive, sustainable development, peace and security This project aims to support poor men and women to have an influence on governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The DRC is one of the most fragile states in the world because of the incapacity of the state to deliver basic services to its population.  Fundamental elements of good governance such as human rights and democracy are not respected.  CAFOD has been working in partnership with CDJP Goma for the past five years to implement a programme known as Action for Better Governance (ABG). 

In an effort to sustain achievements of the first phase, CAFOD has committed to work with CDJP Goma on the phase 2 of ABG for the next two years, in order to effectively empower the Church Justice and Peace Network to support poor men and women to meaningfully participate in decision making and hold duty bearers to account to achieve better governance in DRC. ABG2 focuses on three key themes including women participation in decision making, decentralisation and elections.

There will be a greater emphasis on building a strong evidence base for engagement and advocacy actions as well as creating and strengthening existing mechanisms and formal opportunities to engage duty bearers and decision-makers.
Development of a civil society network for conflict transformation in the Archdiocese of Bukavu Church-based actors in South-Kivu are able to prevent re-emerging conflict through enhanced field based political analysis and systems for early warning.
Programme workshop with partners in Goma Since 1995, CAFOD works in DRC and other countries of the Great - Lakes supporting partners to deliver of emergency responses to several crisis affecting populations in these areas and working social development, better governance and peace building.
CAFOD aims to relieve the victims of natural disasters and armed conflicts and increase the income of rural and urban populations, reduce their vulnerability, improve their access to infrastructure and quality services, develop their human, physical capacity, financial and make them able to make their voices heard in order to achieve the most appropriate and effective solutions that allow them to be able to fully support.
To work more closely with partners and beneficiaries, CAFOD has opened a country office in Kinshasa in 2004 with a sub-office in Goma, overseen by a Program Manager.
In order to have further discussions with partners on aspects of its programs, CAFOD DRC organizes a workshop involving all partners to discuss various aspects of the partnership that united to an improvement in the future.

The agenda of that workshop includes 2 days of training and discussions on the integration of accountability in our programs and 3 days devoted to learn on our partnership (share experience, celebrate success, analyse points/issues to improve and lessons learnt) and discuss on some cross-cutting issues, the quality of our programs (initial/needs assessments, development of proposal and logical framework, monitoring and evaluation and the reporting). The key recommendations captured on this workshop will permit to build and reinforce the networking relationship with CAFOD/DRC and its partners as well as a great collaboration within our partners.   
The workshop costs mainly cover the transport costs participants and their stay in Goma, the rental of the venue for the workshop, procurement of supplies and meals for all participants including 22 representatives of partners and 13 members of staff from CAFOD.
Youths supporting peace in the border dioceses of Bukavu (DRC) and Cyangugu (Rwanda), phase 2 The Great Lakes sub region continues to remain a post-conflict zone where peace is extremely fragile and war is not completely ruled out. Efforts to consolidate peace have been carried out by the CDJP Bukavu and other actors / stakeholders for several years, targeting several stakeholders.
Supporting this project dealing with youth’s student from Bukavu and Cyangugu (Rwanda) expects to reduce mistrust, ethnic and political manipulation as well as hatred between cross-border communities in nonviolent way. In Bukavu academic environment marked by youth’s political manipulation is tense and mistrust remain perceptible between Congolese and Rwandan students dealing with recurrent conflicts in the sub region.
This phase two seeks to emphasis reduction of youth’s political manipulation, consolidating youth’s peacebuilding and conflicts awareness and supporting their peace initiatives. The project plans to make effective the rapprochement and interaction between cross-border youths from these two cross-border dioceses, to address the lack of information that they are victims in conflict environment, to help them understand what triggered the conflict at community level and to get them informed on their rights how to assert them. To reach its objectives, the project will train youths, strengthen their communication and dialog mechanisms, sensitize via theatre, social Medias, and radio broadcasting to build relationships focused on peace and reconciliation values. We also plan to held socio cultural and peace camping activities and to support youths’ peace initiatives through their Justice and peace university commissions. 
This project will be implemented by CDJP Bukavu' staff with support from CAFOD peace building program Officer in close collaboration/coordination with Governance and Peace building PM and other relevant CAFOD’s staff.
