In 2021, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example, where the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) withdrew from Kasai, the Fund supports the establishment of a provincial truth and reconciliation commission through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). The Sudan, another priority, saw new programmes approved on gender and environmental peacebuilding, as well as land access and the reintegration of displaced persons and refugees. Fund investments in stabilization initiatives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are designed to support the MONUSCO transition plan, including rule of law efforts through which courts have rendered five convictions for crimes against humanity and war crimes. Fund investment is helping to reintegrate 486 ex-combatants through a labour-intensive community infrastructure rehabilitation project in Kasai, Kasai Central and Tanganyika benefiting whole communities with livelihood support, access to basic services and intercommunal dialogue. Additional investments in the same regions, including a $3 million project of UNHCR, UNFPA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through which 24,612 children from displaced communities have obtained birth certificates, foster trust among ethnic groups and State institutions. In South Kivu, IOM supports over 300 women miners in two cooperatives to better manage their sites and defend their rights. Through the $1.5 million initiative, the miners have joined two conflictfree mining supply chains that reinvest profits in local development efforts to benefit entire communities. Elsewhere, 33 women-led peace huts have resolved at least 47 conflicts, including those between Twa and Bantu farmers and herders. Since the project’s inception, eight women have been named village or quartier chief, a sign of communities’ recognition of their leadership.
