Women in Water Resources Management in Masisi The target villages in the MASISI territory has been severely impacted by wide deforestation due to cattle raising in large ranches over a long. Trees were systematically eliminated with negative impact on the environment by reducing rainwater infiltration thereby occasioning erosion. The resultant reduced availability of spring water combined with long term population displacement due to war. This intervention will strengthen water resources management and protect the environment in 6 villages of the Masisi Territory through establishing water resources committees with a special focus on women’s participation. The water committees will be responsible for initiating, monitoring and evaluating all activities related to water management and environmental protection in close cooperation with the local authorities.  It will: 
a)	Establish and support gender balanced water resources management committees
b)	Strengthen the voice of women in women organisations and water resources management committees
c)	Plant of trees to enhance water infiltration and reinforce the water table and the resultant springs as well as for sustainable firewood
d)	Increase agricultural production, quality and value through a model of teaching and learning in the community and management of plots with diversified crops.
e)	Stop erosion by cropping techniques such as horizontal trenches in household fields. 
f)	Reduce water spillage and recycle used water for agriculture and other suitable purposes
g)	Improve health, especially for women and children through training on hygiene practices including women’s hygiene and privacy
f)  Train and accompany communities in building their own latrines and train them how to make low cost hand washing facilities such as tippy taps, a simple device for hand-washing using recycled materials
Supporting survivors of sexual violence and their families in South Kivu, DRC The DRC has long been devastated by war and violence. Dozens of illegal armed groups have been responsible for endless human rights abuses and widespread insecurity.  Sexual and gender-based violence have become defining characteristics of the conflict, a tactic of war. Despite intervention by international community, the eastern zone of DRC, including South Kivu, where this project is based, remains extremely fragile. Several armed groups continue to create fear amongst communities. Responsible women who walk many miles to collect water and food, are at risk of being attacked several times. The effects of rape and other forms of violence against women go beyond physical suffering and disabilities; they also compromise the psychological health and social life of the women for the rest of their lives. Many of those who have experienced sexual violence remain silent, for fear of being rejected by their families and communities. This project has been identified with the involvement of parish priests, PSA’s, community leaders, project participants, staffs of CDJP partner and local authorities. The desire of the project participants which is to expand their enterprises has been taken into consideration. There is huge potential for certain enterprises in the area, including bee keeping because most of the honey consumed locally is brought in from Rwanda. CAFOD has funded an initial study into the potential for beekeeping that the project will build upon.
The overall goal of this project is to contribute to the community recovery and recovery of human dignity of people from six parishes in South Kivu, DRC. It will be done by working to achieve the following outcomes: (1)Strengthening the managerial and technical capacity of 300 people; (2) Supporting the victims of rape and their families; (3) Raising awareness of key issues by training 300 participants on environmental protection (tree planting, management of rubbish, etc), as championed by Pope Francis in Laudato Si.
Strengthening Active Citizenry with the budget making and monitoring process The proposed project will be implemented in Kinshasa Province, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in order to build the budget making and monitoring capacities of leaders.

The initiative was launched in partnership with the Congolese Catholic Bishops Conference Justice and Peace Commission, with financial support from CAFOD-DR Congo Program. The project is focused on building the capacities of faith-based and civil society leaders as well as local business associations and public leaders on national budget-making and monitoring.

In the next six months, the project will concentrate on publishing and disseminating the assessment report; organizing a five day intensive training on “budget-making and monitoring” for key leaders;  and encouraging target leaders to participate in the 2016 budget-making process and in monitoring of the 2015 budget. Budget-making and monitoring reports will be published and shared with the public. The projects ultimate ambition is to significantly contribute to the improvement of the country’s governance through active Citizenry engagement with the national budget-making and monitoring process.
Disaster preparedness and multisectoral response to the urgent humanitarian needs Caritas-Belgium and its partners are proposing an action consisting in helping the most vulnerable households in the territories of Kalehe, Kabare, Walungu, Fizi and Mwenga (South Kivu) and Pangi and Kabambare (Maniema).
The intervention targets on the one hand eight village groups, i.e. 282,929 people, who will be assisted in disaster preparedness and, on the other hand, 27,252 beneficiaries who will receive direct assistance in the form of cash and distribution of essential household items ( AME) as well as recovery aid for 8,400 of them.
The project will achieve the following three results:
- R1: Communities exposed to disasters, mainly man-made, but also natural or epidemic, are prepared to deal with them through the analysis of their vulnerabilities, the strengthening of their capacities and the development of appropriate response plans.
- R2: The most vulnerable households affected by man-made and natural disasters are able to meet their basic needs through unconditional cash distributions.
- R3: The most vulnerable households affected by man-made and natural disasters revive their livelihoods following early recovery support.
Protection Programme  Joint activities The Association pour la promotion de la Fille Mère (APROFIME) is a local non for profit organization that focuses on education and economic empowerment of young girl, especially young mothers. APROFIME has life-changing programmes that inspire girls to look to the future and succeed. APROFIME has partnered with CAFOD since 2005 in our protection and early recovery activities. One of the challenges the organization has faced is the acquirement of equipments to train young girls in areas that have been reserved for men such as carpentry, electricity, welding, etc. It is in this spirit that a project was submitted to CAFOD to focus on the innovative vocational training of girls and young women in the area of
carpentry, a trade which is currently dominated by men.  
Moving away from traditional small hand tools which are very labour intensive APROFIME will purchase semi-industrial machinery to train the students.  Through on the job training the trainees will produce carpentry items which will then be sold, allowing the programme to become self-sufficient for the life of the machinery (approx 24 years).  Each year the programme will take on 40 trainees for a period of 9 months.
The programme will be based in Goma (North Kivu). The area has high unemployment rates, particularly amongst girls and young mothers (95%), who are culturally marginalised.  
Additionally, each week the trainees will attend business development classes covering planning, budgeting, costing, marketing, saving, etc., in order to ensure that they acquire the relevant skills to set up businesses that have a strong market relevance where they live
Throughout the training period the students will be allocated $50 per month.  $25 will be paid directly the student as a
stipend and $25 will be paid into their individual bank accounts (which APROFIME will support the trainees to open). 
At the end of the 9 month training period the money in the bank accounts will be used to help the trainees buy their own equipment and start up a small business.
Monitoring and Accompaniment of the Mambeli/Misereor Project in the Malebo Pool MAMBELI is implementing a livelihood project in the Pool MALEBO in Kinshasa. The project will support small farmers to enhance their production in quantity and in quality in order to improve their income. The project will be monitored by CAFOD DRC whose staffs are based both in Kinshasa and in Goma, so implying important monitoring trips. The present project enclosures project monitoring costs, project visibility and an external audit which will happen at the project end.
Support to the reinstallation of 3000 Kanyabayonga returnee households, Rutshuru Territory For about 20 years now, Goma Diocese has been the epicentre of armed conflicts that affected the entire North Kivu province in particular and the whole country in general. The North Kivu province remained the theatre of several and repeated armed confrontations which involved the DRC army, CNDP, FDLRs, different Mai Mai factions, etc. All these operations had negative consequences on the civilian populations such as looting, burning of houses, loss of means of livelihoods, loss of property, sexual violence, killing of innocent people and other forms of human rights abuses, repeated and continuous displacement of the civilian populations, etc. Because of these atrocities, Goma Diocese became home of about 2,000,000 internally displaced people surviving primarily on humanitarian aid and living in camps or with host families.

In October 2008 the CNDP took control of Rutshuru and dismantled all IDP camps. IDPs began returning timidly to their villages as they had no assurance for their security. In January 2009 the CNDP declared the end of the war. This declaration together with the Joint military operations between Rwanda and DR Congo against the FDLRs occasioned the return of many IDPs to their homes namely Kanyabayonga. The returnees some of whom stayed away from their homes for over two years returned to empty homes and houses where they have to start their lives from the scratch. This project aims at supporting the returnees to restart their agriculture activities in order to grow their own food.

Supporting sub-regional integration and peace dynamics in great lakes region This PSGA is an internal grant to support CAFOD’s sub regional Peacebuilding program running in great lakes region (Burundi, Rwanda and DRC). It aims to undertake a survey on conflicts and socioeconomic integration opportunities in great lakes sub regional especially in six cross-border dioceses where CAFOD’s Peacebuilding program is implemented: Nyundo and Cyangugu in Rwanda, Goma, Bukavu and Uvira in DRC and Bujumbura in Burundi.   Based on lessons learnt on two years of implementation of this Peacebuilding program on these regions it appears the need of a new comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying cause of conflicts and encouraging to increase joint initiatives to develop joint projects that promote multisectorial cooperation and benefit particularly to border communities.  Interventions should cover the development of economic capacity in cross-border areas in order to curb the potential for conflicts in the region, the improvement of cross-border trade to strengthen socio-economic ties, the increasing community managerial capacity of natural and environmental resources, and the improvement of the communities’ peace initiatives for more integration in the region. The CAFOD's peace building Program Officer will be responsible for the implementation and ensuring consultant’s accompaniment on all process until delivering of final survey report. All this will be under supervision of Governance and peace building Program Manager.
Baseline and Livelihood Need Assessment Survey in Westen DRC - Idiofa and Matadi dioceses CAFOD is implementing a Livelihood programme in DRC since 2003 in the Eastern part of the Country. After five years of implementation, CAFOD decided to undertake an external evaluation of the above mentioned programme to see the impact that has been produced by the programme. 
Following this external evaluation  that has emphasised a need for greater consistency, and stressed the need for closer correspondence to the social and market conditions that currently affect economic opportunities available to communities recovering from conflict; there have been concerns about the sustainability of our activities given that they take place in unstable areas.
From the aforementioned evaluation’s findings and subsequent team discussions, it was clear that, the existing activities classified under Livelihoods are to be treated as community and early recovery activities in order to better adapt with the realities on the ground and better build the bridge between emergency response and long term development (livelihoods). 

As result of the above analysis, we want to conduct a baseline study in order to design and develop a Livelihoods Programme to be put to back Donors. The study will target the Western provinces as well as Bas-Congo (Diocese of Matadi) and Bandundu (Diocese of Idiofa)provinces close to Kinshasa. 

CAFOD intends to conduct Baseline and LNA survey together to assess the current status of two Dioceses and to explore the current potentials and opportunities for livelihoods for the most vulnerable groups.
Need assessment for emergency assistances in Uvira and unsecured territories in DRC Since March 2015, socio-political tensions have been increasing in Burundi ahead of the general elections to be held in June. The upcoming Presidential and Legislative elections are considered critical for long-term peace and stability of the country. Tensions have, however, are continuing to increase. Protests between supporters of the opposing political parties have become increasingly violent, mostly in the capital Bujumbura, which is causing an increase in numbers leaving Burundi as fears grow for their safety and they seek refuge/protection in neighbouring DRC. The number of people leaving Burundi is likely to continue to grow over the next month. Current reports have demonstrated a significant rise in the number of persons entering DRC since 14 May (UNCHR Regional Response plan, May 2015, has indicated that there will be 30,000 refugees by September 2015). CAFOD and its partner's Caritas Uvira and CODEVAH, jointly with Action Aid completed a rapid multi-sectorial assessment (20-22 May 2015) in the localities around the Ruzizi river, which separates DRC and Burundi.
Shifting the Power: strengthening humanitarian and leadership capacity of PACODEVI The need to strengthening local capacities in humanitarian response in the DRC is crucial as local NGOs are usually the first responders in a crisis. DRC has been beset by multiple security crises subjecting civilians to extremely high level of violence and prompting large-scale and frequent population displacements. Moreover, there is adequate civil society space in DRC but humanitarian response have been lead and managed by international organizations. On one hand this is due to the logistical difficulties of the country and on the other hand, local organizations have been labelled as having poor management, systems, corruption, etc. The consequence is that INGOs have, in many instance, undermine existing capacities. Shifting the power Project in Drc aims at strengthening the humanitarian and leadership capacities of 11 local actors and so to be able to play a crucial role within the current humanitarian architecture in DRC. From the capacity self-assessment undertaken with PACODEVI, the organisation has elaborated a one year capacity strengthening plan with 5 objectives and 14  activities focus on leadership, influence and preparedness and response.
Contributing to the dialogue for peaceful cohabitation and Social Cohesion in the Uvira Territory (D This project includes a range of activities aimed to contribute to peaceful cohabitation and social cohesion in the Uvira territory (Eastern DRC). It seeks to involve in a credible, responsible and peaceful way the political and traditional authorities and community leaders in managing land and power conflicts in their respective communities. Proposed project aims to raise awareness of beneficiary communities to banish prejudices, suspicions, provocation and the resorting to violence when managing land conflict at community level. In 2016, the CDJP-Uvira carried out a study funded by CAFOD in which it produced a conflict mapping in Uvira, Fizi and Mwenga territories. Major conflicts identified in Uvira territory were linked to power and land conflict. This document identified eleven related power conflicts and six conflicts related to land.

To reach its objectives, the project plans to support the creation of a permanent intercommunity dialogue framework bringing together head of chiefdoms, community representatives dedicated to the conflict transformation and advocacy initiatives with target at provincial level. Project also plans to carry out mediation initiative through dialogue meetings between the parties to the different conflicts pinned, and to work on peace connector between the three chiefdoms targeted as factor conducive to intercommunity peaceful cohesion. Organising discussion panel on peace awareness and planting peace ‘trees in these three entities by their leaders will contribute to this essential goal.
The project will be implemented by CDJP Uvira 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.
The project’ activities will be executed in three chiefdoms of Uvira territory (chefferie de Bavira, chefferie de la Plaine de la Ruzizi, chefferie des Bafuliru).
Emergency Response for volcano-affected population in Goma Nyiragongo volcano erupted on the night of May 22 to 23 2021. This was followed by strong seismic activities in the city of Goma and surroundings, with a high risk of a new eruption. This pushed the provincial authorities to issue an evacuation order on May 27, 2021. To be precise, the evacuation particularly concerned 10 quarters out of 18 in the city of Goma. This evacuation order sparked a movement of large numbers of people who had to leave taking the directions as per the government evacuation plan in order to ensure their safety and therefore leave the main red corridors of the lava flow that runway down to the lake, coming from the Nyiragongo. So far, it has been reported that 405,907 people were displaced since the volcanic eruption to different locations such as: Sake, Bukavu, Rutshuru, and Rwanda.
As part of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) program, teams from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) have identified 4,000 affected households who live in 13 collective centers, including 11 schools and 2 churches, in the city of Goma and the territory of Nyiragongo. As classes resumed on 14th June, households living in these schools are forced to vacate classrooms during the day.
Through this project, Caritas Goma and Anglican Church are proposing to undertake a 3-months emergency live-saving support focusing on Cash Based Intervention through paper vouchers (for food and basic NFIs), and WASH support.
The project will seek to reach at least 6,920 affected people (approximately 1384 households) in the Nyiragongo territory in Goma, North Kivu province. 
Project implementation strategies will focus on provision of life saving support to affected population, at individual/household and community levels.
Institutional Support project for the Higher Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (ISPR/ACEAC) Since November 2017, the ISPR/ACEAC Programme of ACEAC as part of the African Great Lakes Sub-region, covering Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) and Rwanda, has been underway. 
This is a programme running as a pastoral service of ACEAC and as an academic institution promoting the culture of peace towards a recovered social cohesion. 
As a pastoral service, the ISPR/ACEAC is a permanent training institution for justice, reconciliation and peace as a direct service of ACEAC. It offers to learners a human and cultural framework where they can live a personal experience of rapprochement between peoples through its leaders, of post-conflict reconciliation through an immersion in the diversity and cultural beauty of the sub-region. In this way, ISPR/ACEAC intends to systematically promote and disseminate a sub-regional culture of peace, harmonious development and integration. 
As an academic institution, ISPR/ACEAC provides two types of training activities: DEA-level teaching and research. The second part is a short training course (from a few weeks to a few months), mainly for professionals working in the field of peace and conflict resolution.
By the end of December 2020, ISPR/ACEAC will complete its first graduate training cycle and award its first Peace and Reconciliation graduates on the theme: Natural Resources, Environment, Peace and Sustainable Development.
The current project is submitted in order to provide CAFOD’s institutional support to improve ISPR/ACEAC capacities by covering some of its administrative and operational costs from November 2020 to February 2021.
