Box 30552 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: +254 (0)20 762 1234 Fax: +254 (0)20 762 3927 E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.unep.org About the Post-Conflict Environmental Assessment In response to a request from the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in 2009 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) initiated a national, multi-thematic assessment of priority environmental issues facing the country. Within the context of the DRC’s ongoing peace consolidation and economic reconstruction, the main objectives of this assessment were to: (i) provide insight into and raise awareness of the key environmental and natural resource management challenges; and (ii) inform rational planning and help catalyse investments by the government and the international community. UNEP plans to follow up on its comprehensive DRC assessment by developing a country programme which will guide future interventions; this is a successful model implemented in over 10 post-conflict countries since 1999. Following the preparation of detailed scoping and desk studies, 14 separate reconnaissance field visits covering all provinces and eco-regions of the DRC were carried out by a joint UNEP- Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism (MECNT) team. The significant investment in fieldwork covering the whole country is one of the defining features of this assessment, which comprised extensive interviews and focus group discussions, site visits, photographic and video documentation, remote sensing and mapping, and in-situ field measurements as well as sampling for laboratory analysis.

Excited by Stanley's discoveries, King Leopold II of Belgium, who was anxious to acquire a colony to increase the prestige and wealth of his young country, subsequently hired Stanley to help him establish Belgium's interests in the Congo.

The Sub-Committee reconfirms its decision on the allocation of resources, adopted at its meeting in November 2010, that a range of funding for the country should be used as a planning tool in the further development of project and program proposals to be submitted to the FIP Sub-Committee for FIP funding approval, recognizing that the minimum amount of the range is more likely and that the upper limit of the range will depend on availability of funding. The range of funding agreed for the Democratic Republic of Congo is USD 40-60 million in FIP resources. The Sub-Committee also recognizes that the quality of the proposed activities will be a significant factor in the funding to be approved by the Sub-Committee when project and program proposals are submitted for approval of FIP funding. b) approves a total of USD1.6million in FIP funding as a preparation grant for the following projects, i. USD300,000 for the project “Addressing Deforestation and Degradation in the Kinshasa Supply Area”, (World Bank) ii.

    International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review ISSN: 2582-6271 Vol.2 No.2; Mar-Apr 2021 "SOCIO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS OF CLIMATE DYNAMICS EXPERIENCED BY THE RIVERSIDE POPULATION AT THE YANGAMBI BIOSPHERE RESERVE: EXPERIENCE OF YASELIA VILLAGE IN ISANGI TERRITORY" (R.D.C.) Madeleine LIKAKA ANGOWAKOLOLO Head of Works and Researcher at Kisangani University ABSTRACT Socio-anthropological analysis of the environmental indicators of climate dynamics experienced by the population living along the Yangtze Biosphere Reserve in general, and that of Yaselia in particular, was the objective of this research. To achieve this, an investigation was organized in Yaselia, a village located in PK 91 of Kisangani City on the Kisangani-Yangambi highway in the transition zone of the Yangambi Biosphere Reserve. 105 men and women were surveyed on the basis of a pre-developed questionnaire. After analyzing the data, the results revealed that: ✓ At Yaselia, people perceive climate change through indicators such as early rains, early droughts and seasonal disturbances; ✓ The majority of the population attributes these climate changes to divine disapproval, saying that God is not happy with them. To this explanation is added others such as the environment is no longer favorable or the ancestors are angry; ✓ The most significant impact of these climate changes is seen at the agricultural level, where farmers report on the wilting of crops due to lack of water, the difficulty of burning for early rainfall and the proliferation of insect pests that result in a decline in agricultural production. But other sectors such as hunting, gathering and fishing are not spared; ✓ More than half of the population surveyed indicated that climate disturbances observed in the environment have negative impacts on the resources of the Yangambi Biosphere Reserve, such as the decrease in forest products other than wood (gibiers, caterpillars, snails, etc.).
