Through this contribution, Sida supports the implementation of Life and Peace Institute’s (LPI) DRC country programme (2021-2025). The programme focuses on accelerating peacebuilding interventions from a multi-actors' perspective (including at community, civil society and policy levels) in eastern DRC. This will be achieved through an innovative and participatory approach based on the combination of community-led conflict transformation processes, strengthening local civil society organizations, participation of women and youth in peacebuilding processes, including strengthening communities' resilience to conflicts. The programme will work on creating new accountability loops between the state, populations and all stakeholders (at all levels) that collective responses to complex conflict issues are implemented in a participatory, collaborative, sustainable and conflict sensitive manner. This work at community and provincial level will feed into peace processes at national and regional levels.(2021-2025) which focuses on accelerating peacebuilding interventions from a multi-actors' perspective (including at community, civil society and policy levels) in Eastern DRC.

Result
Year 3 of implementation of this LPI program intitled Innovative and Holistic Peacebuilding in Eastern DRC has seen many constraints from security mainly through the M23 war in North Kivu. This meant that the difficulties of working in North Kivu persisted to the point of cancelling field actions (i.e. pillars 1 and 2 this made consequently suspended actions with implementing partners) but only the activities connected to political engagement and coordination of peacebuilding actors. As for the actions carried out, the following should be noted: - For Pillar 1 : Community conflict actors work together to identify and implement new holistic responses that address the root causes of conflict. For the first three quarters of 2023, the program contributed to three successful processes: Implementation (acceleration) of action plans for community peace structures ; revitalization and capacity-building of consultative commissions for the resolution of customary conflicts (CCRCC). In South Kivu, from the beginning of the second quarter, LPI and its partners worked closely with the Ministry of the Interior through the Customary Affairs Provincial Division to revitalise the consultative commissions for the resolution of customary conflicts (CCRCC).; Securing the land rights of marginalized people (women, young people and indigenous peoples). - For Pillar 2 on gender and inclusion: this programme contributed to three change processes linked to the role of women and youth in conflict transformation processes at local level: Integration of women and young people into inter-community conflict resolution committees (comité de sage in the Moyen and Haut Plateaux of Uvira); Consolidation of the role and place of women and young people in the steering committees of peace structures. - For pillar 3 concerning political commitment : The aperationalization of the Nindja chiefdom and Tanganyika sector CCRCCs (revitalization, training, coaching); Improvement of working conditions for specialized government departments (Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Program (PDDRCS), Technical Divisions/Rehabilitation of offices and provision of equipment and supplies); LPI also provided technical and financial support to the South Kivu P-DDRCS coordination team in the preparation, facilitation and pre-validation of the provincial operational plan. At its request, we provided the coordination team with IT equipment (four computers and a multifunction printer). Integration of the community dimension (for and with the community) into the national P-DDRCS strategy; engaging in drafting process of the provincial operational plan (POP) in South Kivu and North Kivu provinces. - For Pillar 4 on Coordination and collaboration of actors : Since the first three quarters of 2023, the program's commitment to collaboration and coordination has resulted in the actual operationalization of the Peacebuilding Community of Practice (CPP) through the implementation of over 90% of the actions/activities in the action plan defined collaboratively for 2023. LPI continued to disseminate the conclusions of the collaborative learning process from the 10-year evaluation of peacebuilding interventions. LPI also initiated discussions with representatives of the World Bank to identify opportunities for engagement between the bank and Congolese civil society in South Kivu. LPI facilitated networking and advocacy efforts that provided regional and international actors with insights into the conflict dynamics in eastern DRC. These efforts emphasised the importance of engaging conflict-affected communities and civil society in conflict resolution processes. LPI participated in several meetings with MONUSCOs Stabilization Support Unit (SSU) and the Integrated Office of the Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Resident Humanitarian Coordinator (DSRSG/RC/HC) in Goma and Kinshasa.
The overall objective of this programme is to develop participatory and innovative approaches to address some of the root causes of conflict to contribute to peace and stability in Eastern DRC (North Kivu, South Kivu, and Maniema). The geographical focus is in North and South Kivu provinces. The most problematic territories (except Beni) in the two key provinces will be targeted although in practice some territories will see more activities than others (Rutshuru, Masisi, Walikale, for example for North Kivu, and Fizi, Uvira, Kalehe, Mwenga in South Kivu. LPI has partners in these territories. In Maniema, only run a situation analysis will be conducted. LPI’s three organisational strategic priorities are:– 1. Civil society support and inclusive engagement for peace; 2. Policy Engagement and Awareness-Raising; and 3. Knowledge and Learning to enhance practice – will function as an overarching framework for programming. Changes in four outcome areas are needed to promote the overall objective:Outcome 1: Community-level conflict actors work together to design and implement new holistic conflict transformation strategies that address the root causes of conflict.Outcome 2: Women and young people participate in and influence stabilisation and peacebuilding processes and become recognised as actors of social change.Outcome 3: Political, security, judicial and other leaders at local, provincial, national, regional and international levels, supported by LPI and partners, take actions to create an environment more conducive to peace in the DRC and the Great Lakes region.Outcome 4: Increased individual and collective capacity of civil society actors and community peace structures to promote more transformative peacebuilding.
