Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is rich with mineral resources and a diverse mix of ethnic groups. Unfortunately, this diversity has often caused violent divisions. The Second Congo War (1998 – 2003) was the most deadly world conflict since World War II. We work to bolster the nation’s maturing democracy, end ethnic conflict, promote gender equality, and transform the DRC into a peaceful country.
