Preliminary Assessment Findings, South Kivu

Programme Brief

As the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) peacekeeping mission draws down at the request of the host state government, many questions and concerns are being raised about ongoing civilian protection needs and resources in the context of the transition. Communities, humanitarians, duty bearers, and other actors are concerned about the emerging and persistent threats that civilians face in this context, and the ways that the transition is likely to exacerbate civilian protection needs and risks.
