SFCG D.R. Congo

Since the country programme's establishment in 2001, SFCG's innovative conflict transformation and good governance programming in the DRC has gained international acclaim, as exemplified by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent visit. With six offices across the country, SFCG uses a range of media and outreach tools to provide information, foster dialogue, and strengthen the capacity of local actors to address key issues.

SFCG has been active in consolidating the gains made by the 2006 elections, supporting good governance and accountability efforts across the country. SFCG produces weekly radio programmes from its Kinshasa studio that provide information on national-level governance processes, including decentralisation. This radio programming has built a strong reputation for providing accurate and credible information, with recent surveys demonstrating an average listenership rate of over 80%. At the same time, SFCG has placed substantial emphasis on addressing the continuing conflict and violence lingering in eastern Congo. Driven by its Bukavu production studio, SFCG's eastern operations seek to facilitate informed refugee repatriation and reintegration, prevent sexual and gender-based violence, and reduce human rights violations committed by the Congolese military.
