Canada is significantly involved in the DRC through projects addressing children and youth, maternal, newborn and child health care (MNCH), security and protection, as well as governance and the advancement of democracy. Since 2006, Canada has been an important player in the DRC and in the Great Lakes Region, notably in the fight against sexual violence and holding criminals accountable.
The review covers all international assistance programming including humanitarian assistance, stabilization, and development projects. The main focus is on the most recent years in order to reflect changing contexts (2012-2018).
