EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During Year 2 (Y2) Quarter 3 (Q3), USAID’s Solutions for Peace and Recovery (SPR) implemented activities in all target zones and saw an 18.6% rise in achievement against its Performance Indicator Table (PIT), from 34% to 52.6%. USAID’s SPR achieved this progress through increased grantee activities, particularly those contributing to Objectives 1 and 3. During this period, 23 local partners were approved by USAID and began activity implementation, joining 14 other active SPR grantees who began in the first half of Year 2.
By the end of Y2 Q3, progress against Objective 1 targets rose significantly. At the end of this period, 105 (target of 70) local peace and development structures were established, revitalized and trained in target zones, 21 out of 70 community participatory conflict analyses were conducted and 14 validated, and 162 out of 192 targeted civil society organizations (CSOs) completed training modules on conflict prevention, management, resolution and transformation mechanisms. Additionally, SPR launched two provincial advocacy frameworks in North and South Kivu and provided sustained technical assistance and capacity building to support the development of their strategic plans.
Under Objective 2 this quarter, 282 women have gained a substantive role in the local peace and development structures or user committees that USAID’s SPR created or revitalized. This number exceeds the SPR targets, as the need to revitalize more peace structures than originally planned became apparent during implementation. During the period, USAID’s SPR broadcast 9 of 24 radio programs on peace and social cohesion in target zones and trained 534 women and other marginalized groups (OMGs) and 233 formal and traditional leaders in transformative leadership. This training resulted in the organization of 11 consultative meetings and the implementation of 9 community dialogues where women and OMGs met with provincial and territorial authorities to present and discuss the need for their inclusion and participation in peace building processes.
USAID’s SPR also made substantial progress against Objective 3 targets. The project provided livelihood training to 995 women and OMGs and established community livelihoods methodologies, including Village Savings and Loans Associates (VSLA) and Mutuelle de Solidarité (MUSO) in target communities. Through participatory processes, USAID’s SPR supported 4 community development plans to integrate equitable and local solutions to conflicts in the groupements of Biiri, Bagira, Ishungu and Lugendo. Additionally, USAID’s SPR has provided capacity building to 12 user committees and 92 service providers across target zones. The Social Cohesion Perception Survey has been completed and will be subject to validation by communities and stakeholders in North and South Kivu early in Quarter 4 (Q4).
The primary challenges faced by USAID’s SPR during this period included security concerns, staff transitions, grantee capacity and milestone certification. This quarter, certain regions were not accessible due to insecurity posed by armed groups. Accordingly, some SPR grantees were unable to access certain villages in the Kibabi groupement and had to postpone activities planned for this area. The poor state of roads in Masisi and Kalehe in Mbinga North also made it difficult to travel during the rainy season and led to some delays in activity implementation and partner monitoring. Additionally, USAID’s SPR has seen numerous staff changes within the period, including the resignation of the Chief of Party and Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, which have presented challenges as the project transitions from a phase of direct implementation to partner oversight. Grantee capacity and milestone certification has also presented challenges.
With 37 active grantees in Y2 Q3, it has become evident that most partners are not experienced in operating under a Fixed Amount Award grant mechanism. Though USAID’s SPR initially trained each partner, they have continued to require considerable support from the project during implementation. For example, grantees have frequently submitted low-quality or incomplete milestone submissions to verify activity completion, which requires additional time for the SPR team to review and request
1 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV revisions to the submission before certifying milestones. Some partners’ inability to complete all activities within a milestone has required modifications to the grant agreements to shift activities and pay schedules. These modifications can be time-consuming and delay milestone certification and disbursement. To reduce delays moving forward, USAID’s SPR has begun using these modifications as an opportunity to preemptively redesign future milestone schedules into more easily achievable portions to facilitate milestone certification and increase grantee cash flow.
During the upcoming quarter, USAID’s SPR anticipates implementation challenges associated with the national elections, which will take place between November 2018 and January 2019. As a result, the project plans to increase direct activity implementation before election season begins and will work with partners to do the same. In preparation for this, additional coordination meetings with implementing partners are already planned for early Q4.
By the end of Y2 Q4, USAID’s SPR anticipates that achievement against the PIT will rise to 65-70%. With grantees hitting their stride, SPR expects to see strong achievement against targets, particularly for participatory conflict analyses and validation, CSOs trained in participatory conflict analysis and community development plans integrating equitable and locally developed solutions to resolve conflict. USAID’s SPR expects this Q4 progress to continue into Year 3 providing a strong upward trend for the achievement of life of project targets.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The USAID Solutions for Peace and Recovery (SPR) project’s goal is to increase social cohesion through inclusion of women and marginalized groups in communities in six priority territories of Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Walungu, Kabare, Kalehe and Bukavu City in South Kivu and Masisi and Goma City in North Kivu. Three hypotheses support USAID’s SPR approach to achieving progress in pursuit of the project goal. First, if communities in Eastern Congo are able to analyze conflict, they will develop processes that will produce effective solutions. Second, if Congolese women and marginalized groups have the skills and opportunities to participate in community-based decision-making, their participation will result in better, more sustainable solutions. Third, if community decision-making is inclusive and participatory, it will result in better solutions and greater social cohesion.
The participatory conflict analysis process aims to help communities develop a shared understanding of the context, agree on the source and nature of conflicts arising therein and identify needs linked to conflict sources that development solutions can address. This work relies on the active involvement of inclusive community peace and development structures that have been newly established or revitalized by USAID’s SPR in all targeted zones. These structures form the interface between the communities and the project. SPR also places special emphasis on advocacy and will use the products of conflict analysis and research as the basis for vertical advocacy targeted at decision-makers at the local, provincial or national levels.
The active participation and inclusion of women and other marginalized groups in restoring social cohesion and peaceful conflict resolution in the North and South Kivu provinces is vital. In these communities, women and other marginalized groups are historically excluded from decision-making and local governance because of discriminatory social norms deeply embedded in the social fabric at varying degrees in all target communities. To effect fundamental change in this regard, USAID’s SPR builds capacities in transformational leadership and participatory governance that enable women and other marginalized groups (OMGs)1 to enhance their knowledge and understanding of their rights and their capacity to successfully invoke these rights when they are under threat and to confidently raise issues with statutory and customary authorities when necessary.
Comprehensive conflict analyses, agreed-upon solutions and more informed and empowered segments of formerly marginalized target communities will lead to transformation once solutions are applied. Development planning, social cohesion messaging, the improvement of services and community mobilization through dialogue and events all form intervention strategies that USAID’s SPR staff and partners support.
1 OMG categories include pygmies, albinos, demobilized soldiers, people with disabilities and the elderly.

OBJECTIVE 1: CONFLICT RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
All activities during the period took into account the participation of women and other marginalized groups, as described below. In line with SPR PIT indicator 2.1a, the percentage of participation of women in elected assemblies of local peace and development committees represented 48 percent of all participants, and participants from OMGs represented 16 percent. Regarding redynamization of peace and development committees, women comprised 32 percent of the total participants, with OMGs at 10 percent. The percentage of women in decision-making bodies in the peace and development committees is 44 percent of total. This underscores the strong integration of women in all activities, including those where men voted. Through this participation, women express themselves freely and their voices are heard by the general assemblies.

36 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV OBJECTIVE 2: WOMEN AND OMG MAINSTREAMING AND EMPOWERMENT IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Women and OMGs widely participated in activities this quarter. Select examples of women and OMG participation are as follows:
- FOSI: During seven focus groups held this quarter, all reporters were women and other marginalized group members; they had the most recommendations, and were able to practice public speaking. These women leaders have been proactive in educating other women and OMGs to participate in leadership mentoring clubs. - VIVAG: Ninety percent of participants in activities were women, with approximately 30 percent OMGs, such as young mothers, elderly and people with disabilities. - RFEDI: The presence of women and other marginalized groups increased to 90 percent; they shared their experiences during activities and posed clarification and comprehension questions. OMGs, like people with disabilities or albinism, reported being satisfied with the platform that USAID’s SPR offered them, which enabled them to participate in meetings with others. Women and OMGs said they would like to understand what they should do in the process of peace research. Appropriation of activities by women and OMGs demonstrates their active participation; they desire further advocacy workshops and explanations of laws to learn more about their rights and the types of discrimination they face. - CDJP: Ninety percent of participants in activities were women and OMGs who received information on their rights. The community was sensitized to accept and facilitate the inclusion and participation of this group in community management. During the community forum in Lugendo, a disabled person spoke for more than 30 minutes to decry poor local governance and demand change; the crowd of about 500 people listened intently for the entirety of his speech. - CFAD: On average, the participants in trainings and coaching are roughly 60 percent women and 30 percent OMGs, which suggests that these groups are interested in decision-making issues. - CAUCUS: Eighty percent of participants in leadership and law trainings are women and OMG members. - AFEM: Seventy percent of participants in trainings on preparing radio broadcasts are women and OMG members who serve as actors for community mobilization to promote their inclusion via the media. - Radio Maendeleo: Sixty percent of mediation structures are women and OMG members; their presence is also common in work sessions for preparing radio broadcasts. - CARITAS: Three of seven long-term staff members recruited for their project were women and one of four trainers in law and peaceful resolution of conflicts was a woman. Participation in CARITAS activities was about 80 percent women and OMGs. These groups organized a peaceful march to protest the lack of water and inaction of local groupement chiefs. The women had a strong foundation in mediation from the CLOCs and had already realized a dozen such structures. Men participants noted they were impressed by women’s management skills. - IFDP: This partner’s socio-therapy work this period was participative and inclusive, unifying communities and providing women and OMGs a space for dialogue. Women represented 70% of 84 facilitators trained in socio-therapy (55 women and 29 men), and of 30 authorities who participated, four were women (13%). Further, members of socio-therapy groups increasingly adopted inclusive and gender-sensitive language which allowed them to take into consideration women and OMGs in community activities that had previously been exclusive.
37 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV OBJECTIVE 3: APPLYING CONFLICT SOLUTIONS
The partners implementing Component 3 activities received sensitization to ensure that women and OMGs are taken into account during activity implementation. During this period, 50% of participants of Objective 3 activities were women (1,535 out of 3,050) and 24% were OMGs (732).

CONFLICT SENSITIVITY
INTEGRATION OF CONFLICT SENSITIVITY IN SPR OPERATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION
During the reporting period, with support from Do No Harm (DNH) experts Dr. Rolf Grafe and Serge Lungele, USAID’s SPR organized staff refresher and capacity-building training sessions for staff of local implementing partners. Details on these activities follow below:
38 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV SPR staff: On April 23, USAID’s SPR staff attended a one-day DNH refresher training in Goma with the goal of assessing local context, giving input and feedback to DNH studies conducted in SPR- targeted zones, reviewing tools and sharing learning experiences from recent fieldwork. During the review exercises, SPR staff shared concrete examples on how they used DNH framework tools during the implementation of direct activities and in support of local partners. A quarterly DNH review was recommended to ensure full integration of conflict sensitivity approaches in SPR’s work. DNH assessment tools have been distributed to the SPR staff for further application.
SPR partners: SPR’s local implementing partners received DNH training April 24–26 in Goma and May 2–4 in Bukavu. During the 3-day workshops, partners learned to improve conflict sensitivity by integrating this approach in their daily work, particularly in procurement, recruitment and field activity implementation. A peer quarterly review will be organized to ensure effective integration and utilization of the approach.
USAID IPs: Six USAID IPs (Consortium IMA World Health/Gender Based Violence and protection project, Counterpart International/Congo Democratia project, Mercy Corps/ Food Security Program, Tetra Tech/Kivu Value Chain project, Development Alternatives International (DAI)/Integrated Governance Activity (IGA) project and Food for the Hungry/Food Security Program) were invited for a refresher course on conflict sensitivity. Representatives of those organizations expressed the need to have quarterly sessions and requested that SPR train their staff or partners on this approach, which has been discussed with USAID.
OBJECTIVE 1: CONFLICT RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
The revitalization of peace and development structures in Muvunyi Shanga (particularly in Kabare) permitted other communities in the locality better representation in the peace and development structure. The area comprises Hutu, Hunde, Tutsi, Twa, Havu and Tembo, but the peace structure previously included only Hutu; the other community members did not refer themselves to the committee as they lacked confidence in the structure. USAID’s SPR project, via its partner AAP, introduced the notion of inclusion and conflict sensitivity, and this enabled communities to respect each other and find a good option for peaceful cohabitation. AAP introduced this approach after received training on Do No Harm and integration of conflict sensitivity in implementation. The partner conducted sensitization sessions with existing structures and come up with an agreement with them to integrate community members who are excluded.
OBJECTIVE 2: WOMEN AND OMG MAINSTREAMING AND EMPOWERMENT IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Radio broadcast activities with AFEM and Radio Maendeleo drew interest from many in the community, but unfortunately access was limited in number and category of listeners. This has led to discontent from community members and local authorities. Partners held sessions explaining the choice of target audiences and budget limitations and demonstrated to the rest of the community that they participate through programs and listening clubs. Authorities and leaders understood and took care to reinforce the explanations to their populations.
Partners recruited most field staff locally, taking into account that the communities want the projects to support their economy by creating jobs. Partners who recruited locally include CFAD, FOSI, VIVAG, CDJP, CARITAS and IFDP.
39 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV For training activities in leadership, rights and participatory governance, the number of participants increased to appease those not invited to the training despite limitations. Facilitators proposed sharing transportation and refreshments to cater to additional participants due to budgetary constraints.
During the first training activities and mentoring sessions with OMGs (including albinos, pygmies, victims of sexual violence and people with disabilities), these groups noted that being stared at by strangers hinders and harms them. The facilitators consistently made appeals for acceptance of all, social cohesion and inclusion of all marginalized groups. Over time, most marginalized group participants said they have found the mentoring clubs to be a comfortable environment.
OBJECTIVE 3: APPLYING CONFLICT SOLUTIONS
To integrate a conflict sensitivity approach in activity implementation, Objective 3 organized a coordination meeting with implementing partners in Ishungu and Lugendo. The goal of this meeting was to exchange strategies on adopting DNH structures. Component 3 and the partners are on board with the following elements:
- All activities should include all groups to avoid discontent; - Authorities and other leaders should be informed when activities are implemented; - During implementation of activities and meetings, all participants have the right to speak and all ideas are welcome.
COORDINATION
A. INTERNATIONAL PARTNER COORDINATION
A meeting with the Inawezekana Consortium took place in Mbinga North on May 5, 2018. Discussion revolved around harmonizing USAID’s SPR activities with those of the Consortium. The following recommendations were developed:
- Partners who intervene in livelihoods and target youth concurrently with War Child should take care to ensure their beneficiaries do not overlap. - CADERSA SPR partner will work with Voice of New Generation (VNG) organization in the elaboration of Mbinga North Community Development Plan as VNG is supporting the Kalehe territory in the elaboration of a development plan at the chefferie level. CADERSA was therefore required to ensure that CDP solutions at the groupement level will be taken into consideration.
A meeting to set up a mechanism for reflection between USAID partners occurred on May 16. Two of USAID’s SPR staff, a representative of Mercy Corps, Food for the Hungry (FH) and IGA were present. The objective was to designate a steering committee for all USAID partners in South Kivu to facilitate coordination and harmonization in the various interventions in Kalehe, Mbinga North.
In June, USAID’s SPR organized two coordination meetings with the Mercy Corps Imagine project. The discussion included approaches to develop community structures in Bukavu, particularly local peace and development committees (by SPR) and water committees (by Mercy Corps). In effect, the Imagine project works in the water management sector and implements community governance structures called Local Development Committees (LDC) while SPR is establishing or revitalized Local Peace and Development Committees (LPDC). Mercy Corps and SPR are called for harmonization as the two community structures have similar mandates and involve the same community stakeholders. The coordination meeting will continue in upcoming quarters and involve local administration.
40 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV The projects reflected on how to improve coordination mechanisms, which can lead to integration of packages available to support structures. It was determined during this meeting that a second gathering to coordinate each project’s approach was necessary.
B. COORDINATION AMONG USAID’S SPR LOCAL PARTNERS
OBJECTIVE 1
During this reporting period, two coordination meetings for partners implementing USAID’s SPR activities in Kabare territory (Lugendo and Ishungu groupement) took place on a monthly basis to define strategies for synergy and communication. These meetings were essential given that the components’ activities involve mostly the same beneficiaries and targets. In addition to defining each partners’ strategy, participants discussed jointly planning to ensure that there is no duplication of activities for the same groups of beneficiaries, which are typically leaders and local authorities. The goal was to dissuade beneficiaries from prioritizing their participation to suit their personal interests.
OBJECTIVE 2
Component 2 partners participated in two coordination workshops initiated by SPR this quarter. These workshops gave partners operating in the same zones the opportunity to familiarize themselves with each other and strategize their implementation to yield better results and better inform communities about their projects. Partners FOSI, VIVAG and RFEDI conducted working sessions together to define a common agenda and methodology for trainings in transformational leadership and participative governance. Partners in Kabare (Caritas, IFDP and CDJP) had three coordination meetings in the field to avoid duplication of activities and double-counting beneficiaries.
OBJECTIVE 3
A coordination meeting between ACODEPA, ISPDE and CEDECO took place on April 18 at Mount Kahuzi to discuss planning and common activities with beneficiaries. This meeting involved a preparation session for the launch of the project in Bukavu and to share data collection tools with the committees for peace and development on April 24 at the CEDECO office.
A coordination meeting with CADERSA, Center Olame-TGD and ICJP took place in Mbinga North on June 7, 2018. The agenda involved coordination of activities for local peace and development committees put into place with the project’s support, taking into account the results of analyses made by the Center Olame, ICJP and ISDR regarding implementation of the development plan by CADERSA.
A coordination meeting between CDJP, SYNIGL and Cinamula, COUD, CARITAS and IFDP took place in Lugendo on June 20. Many questions about implementation of conflict activities were addressed, including:
- The need weekly planning and strategizing between the partners. - The importance of involving authorities in the implementation of activities and sharing with them plans for future activities. - The need for a neutral attitude regarding the water conflict facing the groupement. - The involvement of CLPD in conflict analysis and the need to elaborate the community development plan for the sustainability of project accomplishments.
A meeting on the program activities implementation update in North Kivu with members of the Consultative Committee took place in Goma on June 25, 2018, followed by a field visit from June 26-
41 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV 29 in Muvunyi Shanga. Participants appreciated how women and other marginalized are supporting each other with VSLA groups to share refundable loans. In the Umoja VSLA group from Bweremana village, a vulnerable woman who was suffering from malaria received two months’ worth of loans which enabled her to access the health center and pay for medicine.
42 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV SECTION 2: OVERALL CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND ACTIONS TAKEN
CHALLENGES
During this quarter, USAID’s SPR faced the following challenges, some of which are ongoing.
A. TARGET ZONE ACCESSIBILITY
Certain zones in Kibabi groupement (Kaloba and part of Mushwa-Lukopfu villages) were not accessible due to the zone’s occupation by the Nyatura armed group. This occupation has lasted more than a year and partner AAP encountered challenges while organizing the following activities:
- Revitalization of the community peace and development structures in Kaloba with the pre- authorization of the rebel chief in control of the zone. - The peace and development committee in Mushwa-Lukopfu was relocated when the zone was not accessible and the Nyatura group was not cooperative. The group is violent and has been known to kill individuals considered to be strangers in the zone.
The security situation in Mwendabandu, Kalembera and Mulamba villages during the period remained uncertain with the presence of armed groups Alliance des Patriotes pour un Congo Libre et Souverain (APCLS) reported. This situation hindered ACUDI and AAP efforts to cover the zone.
ACTIONS TAKEN
While awaiting the stabilization of the security situation in these zones, the partner did the following:
- Set up permanent monitoring of the security situation through AAP security focal points. - Suspended all activity in the Mushwa-Lukopfu zone. - Limited its activities in Kaloba with the collaboration of the chief of the armed group who controlled the zone.
In other zones, partners moved beneficiaries to a more stable village to hold meetings.
During this quarter, Masisi witnessed frequent landslides on the road between Goma and Masisi, which sometimes disrupted traffic. This was seen especially during May and June near Katae and Kalinga villages.
The poor state of roads in Masisi (Biiri and Kibabi) and Kalehe (Mbinga North) made it difficult to travel during rainy season and lead to some delays in activity implementation and partner monitoring. To mitigate this, IRC encouraged affected partners (LUCODER, FOSI, AAP and Alpha Ujuvi) to deploy locally recruited staff to implement interventions and share regular reports for recommendations until the state of the roads improves.
B. PARTNER FIELD COORDINATION
Often at least two to three partners work in a single groupment. As a result, partners lose availability of their beneficiaries to other activities and some local chiefs are asked to attend multiple partner activities at the same time. This competition results from delayed partners working to catch up on activities and submit deliverables for that period.
43 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV ACTIONS TAKEN
- SPR advised CSO partners operating in the same zone to conduct monthly coordination meetings to plan and execute mechanisms to resolve these issues. - SPR suggested partner field staff meet weekly to share implementation results and plan for the following week.
These actions will help partners better plan their activity calendars and avoid organizing activities that require the same beneficiaries for the same day.
C. PARTNER REPORTING AND MILESTONE CERTIFICATION DELAYS
SPR partners have required more time than anticipated to complete deliverables and advance from one milestone to the next. This results from incomplete submissions and the SPR team requiring more time to certify milestone completion than initially foreseen.
ACTIONS TAKEN
- Assignment of focal points for technical and grant functions to assist partners to facilitate the acceleration of deliverable verification and validation. - Planning of deliverables as soon as partners execute activities. This permits rapid documentation without waiting for activity completion. - Modification of milestones typically by breaking them up to reduce their size and so they are more easily achievable. - Adjustment of milestone review procedures to accelerate the process of releasing funds for activity implementation. - Ongoing capacity reinforcement on compliance, financial management and procurement procedures. - Implementation of a feedback mechanism to the partners after each monitoring and evaluation visit.
D. REDUCED NUMBER AND CHANGES WITHIN STAFF
SPR’s limited staff poses problems as the project transitions from direct implementation to partner oversight. As new partners were onboarded, some staff have been overwhelmed by multiple commitments, including those related to ongoing direct implementation requirements, as well as the newly added partner oversight responsibilities. During the reporting period, two staff members left the project—the advocacy and communication officer and the Chief of Party—while other positions were filled later (M&E Officer) and others are still in the recruitment process.
ACTIONS TAKEN
- Ongoing recruitment of additional program assistants (for Objectives 1 & 3); - Ongoing recruitment of a Chief of Party; - Recruitment of M&E team (M&E Officer and MEL Manager); - Ongoing recruitment of five STTAs to assist with partners’ analysis of conflicts and two to support the training of CSOs in North and South Kivu. - Proposal of long-term field position (Deputy Chief of Party, Operations) and posting for MSI home-office staff member
44 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV OPPORTUNITIES
Several opportunities for building positive relationships, creating synergies with various local and international stakeholders, increasing SPR’s visibility and deepening its presence in target zones were observed during this reporting period, including:
- The launch of partner activities related to conflict analysis. In all areas, the conflict analysis process is making significant advances. In some areas, partners have completed half of the analyses and these will be completed in all areas by August 2018. - Good relations between the partners and local authorities will allow SPR to link the creation of the peace and development plan to the chieftaincy, a decentralized entity with budgetary autonomy. This observation was made during the visit of the USAID Mission to Kabare, where the representative of the Mwami of Kabare expressed a desire to see the Lugendo group plan to be included in the Chieftain's development plan, which will be reviewed this year. - Women and OMGs are highly motivated to participate in meetings and willing to help other women develop and organize. - Private sector partners are ready to support the livelihood structures put in place by SPR grantees. - The project should ensure locally recruited staff understand the SPR approach to conducting activities to allow them to stand in when partner teams cannot access the field due to poor road conditions. - Local authorities can increase receptivity to requests made by women and OMG and to engage with them to find practical solutions to issues. - USAID implementing partners have more work to do to optimize synergies and assure complementarity between our work.

50 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV SECTION 4: FLEXIBLE FUND POSSIBILITIES
To facilitate rapid and targeted response to local conflict issues, SPR proposed in the previous quarter to work with exiting partners using in-kind grants. Such partners, having already been vetted through the APS or RFA solicitation processes, would be poised to respond within short timeframes. However, thus far, no SPR partners have submitted early warning proposals. Three proposals were received by non-SPR partners during the reporting period and SPR is reviewing these requests in cooperation with USAID. SPR will work with USAID in the coming quarter to review this approach to rapid response grants to improve delivery.
During April 2018, the South Kivu Provincial Advocacy Framework sent an early warning about a latent conflict between the population of Mbobero village and the head of state. This conflict is linked to the evictions and unjustified destruction suffered by this population after their land was sold to the president of the republic. This alert was documented and sent to the SPR Chief of Party.
SPR received another early warning proposal about a community conflict between the chief of Kikozi Village (Kalungwe Groupement) and the chief of Kajengwe Village (Bijombo Groupement) in Uvira Territory, which is also starting to affect neighboring groupements and villages. Given that the territory of Uvira is not an SPR target area, the teams are in the process of reflecting on a possible approach in supporting this proposal to reduce tension and violence in this area.
Another early warning proposal received by SPR was from the Lugendo and Ishungu Groupements (Kabare Territory). The conflict between the two groupements is about water supply and management. This tension began within the Bushumba groupement and it extends from the two groupements of Ishungu and Lugendo to the Lugendo Chief of Groupement and his community. This alert will be analyzed and researched by Component 1 teams to find the root causes and to identify solutions through the community participatory process and conflict analysis.
51 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV SECTION 5: SECURITY BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT: STATE OF PEACE IN THE EAST
The security situation in the project’s implementation zone has not changed significantly during the period. However, on the whole, the security situation in eastern DRC remains volatile. USAID’s SPR staff have tracked a number of incidents.
In North Kivu, security incidents have been defined by economic predation on key routes in the area in the form of route-side robberies followed by kidnappings. These threats have affected local and international humanitarian organizations, with at least three such cases of roadside robbery during the period. This indicates the gravity of the threat caused by criminals in Masisi Territory, in particular. Humanitarian staff remain exposed to risk and the project continues to face threats of economic predation, such as burglary, kidnapping and other violence involving artisanal miners in Rubaya. Though ambushes have not seemed to target humanitarian organizations, it remains probable that armed groups seeking to maximize their economic gain from ransom demands may start doing so. Thus, the USAID’s SPR security team has provided specific guidance to staff frequenting these zones.
Likewise, armed clashes may restrain free access to USAID’s SPR staff and their beneficiaries in project target zones. This period, multiple clashes have been reported between armed groups and government forces. Clashes have been reported in the following zones: Bukumbirire-Langira, Kibabi-Kinigi, Kinigi- Kaniro-Lukopfu, Katale-Luke, Kisuma-Kaniro and Loashi-Burora. These clashes have necessitated that USAID’s SPR partners suspend movements to hostile zones. In the West and Southeast in Masisi, clashes between Alliance des Patriotes pour un Congo Libre et souverain (APCLS) and Forces Armées de lq République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC) armed groups have occurred during the reporting period. In Mupfunyi Matanda Groupement in Masisi, tension between artisanal miners under the COOPERAMA cooperative and the Société Minière de Bisunzu (SMB) posed an important risk to USAID’s SPR staff movements. COOPERAMA members initiated a series of demonstrations on principal routes between Sake-Bihambwe and Bihambwe-Rubaya, resulting in barricades on the main routes.
In South Kivu, territories covered by SPR activities were marked by some security stability during the reporting quarter. The activities of the armed groups remained weak and the regular DRC Armed Forces (FARDC) were more involved in the tracking operations against these armed groups as of February 2018. Several Raiya Mutomboki MM who are active in Kalehe Territory surrendered to the FARDC, reducing their threat in that territory.
In April, in Kalehe Territory, the Mbinga North groupement was affected by severe flooding, mudslides and landslides that have destroyed several infrastructures such as roads, schools, houses, and fields by torrent of water.
Beyond SPR zones, the territories of Uvira and Fizi remained characterized by community tensions exacerbated by the presence of local and foreign armed groups. This violence has resulted in the displacement of thousands of people. This conflict is between the Banyamulenge communities (defended by the Ngumino/Twigwaneho militias) and the Bafuliro, Banyindu, Babembe and Batwa communities (defended by Mai-Mai militias Biloze Bishambuke).

TWO ROUTES TO PEACE
Munihire Kibira Wesley, Chief of Mwendabandu locality “I recognize the effectiveness of the in Biiri, Masisi participated in a community mobilization training received in November and activity organized by USAID’s SPR grantee, ACUDI, on for that I am proud.” November 4th, 2017. He received training on peace and cohabitation, and noted of his experience:
“I am no longer the same locality chief: I am transformed. The six-day workshop helped me to better understand my role in conflict management. I better understand land procedures, and the power of conflict prevention, as well as the importance of peaceful resolution of conflicts and the merits of protecting civil populations. After this, I dedicated myself to using my status in the community for peacebuilding.”
Two weeks after the workshop Mr. Wesley began community outreach on peaceful cohabitation with other peace and development community members. In May 2018, Mr. Wesley launched Community Implementation for Peace by opening an agricultural service road between two villages that had been separated. The road that links Chamarambo Photo: Mr. Munhire Kibira Wesley, Chief village in Mwendabandu and Kalembera village in Kalembera of Mwendabandu locality had been closed for twenty years due to intercommunity conflicts and violence.
Mr. Wesley’s testimony and actions demonstrate personal growth and development, and what it means to be a local leader, by managing public resources for the benefit of conflict resolution. With support from USAID’s SPR intervention, Mr. Wesley and his community’s efforts have built two sustainable roads to peace: a road for leadership to understand then deliver on their role as peacebuilders, and the establishment of a physical road which supports community cohabitation after 20 years of separation.

A STORY OF EQUAL LAND INHERITANCE
Claudine Mwamini, aged 22, is the only girl in a family of four children. She became economically disadvantaged when her father “I am happy today, because shared his land heritage with his three male children, according to I also have land inheritance like my brothers”

Claudine participated in training modules on human rights, land codes, and peaceful conflict resolution with ACUDI’s youth club. Armed with this knowledge, she began educating her father and brothers on the principle of equal rights between men and women. Claudine notes that the radio broadcasts in Masisi beginning in November 2017 (regarding land access in Congolese law), have also influenced her father to change his position on land heritage. Claudine now receives part of her father’s land alongside her brothers. According to Claudine, “I am happy today, because I also have land inheritance like my brothers.”

INCLUSIVITY OF ALL SOCIAL GROUPS IN PEACE STRUCTURES
Bwira Musengetsi Séraphin is the chief of Runyana-Kashenda village in Muvunyi Shanga groupement. On May 28th, 2018, USAID’s Amani Kwa Maendeleo grantee, Aide et Action pour la Paix organized the re-establishment of the local peace and development committee in Runyana-Kashenda and designated community members to represent his village. Mr. Mutsengetsi noted: “I am truly satisfied with the manner in which the peace and development committee was restructured in my village. Since the creation of this structure, we have taken into account an inclusive approach: before the structure’s creation, we did not take into account ethnic representation, women’s inclusion, and the inclusion of youth and other marginalized groups. As an example, among 12 members of the peace committee in my village, only two were female and all the members were ethnic Hutus. This structure, created with the objective of resolving conflicts in the community, was not credible for most of the members of the community Photo: Bwira Mutsengetsi, village chief, due to the belief that it was partial and injust in its manner of treating Runyana-Kashenda the different needs of the community.” Using the Amani Kwa Maendeleo project’s approach, the committee was revitalized and became more reflective of the community: segments of the population “I am truly satisfied with manner in which had previously not been represented in the which the peace and development committee had the opportunity to elect their members, committee was restructured in my notably women and other ethnic groups in Runyana village. village.” This inclusivity instills confidence within the community in regard to the peaceful management and impartiality towards conflicts.

The Myanzi locality is one of the five localities that is comprised of multiple ethnicities: Tembo, Pygmy, Havu, Shi, Hutu, and Tutsi. Among these ethnicities, Pygmies have little economic means and are often marginalized by the other ethnic groups. Leki Nabushako, 25, provided USAID’s SPR program with a testimony on her experience as a Pygmy in her groupement, following the activities of the Amani Kwa Maendeleo project. She notes: “In Myanzi, Pygmies no longer have land to carry out agriculture. They are not accepted by the other communities; they are mistreated and considered animals by virtue of the fact that they live in the forests, far from the other communities.” Nabushako notes that the social consideration of Pygmies has changed due to the activities of the “Tupeane Amani Wandugu”, literally translated as the “Give Us Peace” grant, implemented by Photo: Leki Nabushako, 25, Pygmy ICJP in Myanzi. “Pygmies feel involved, associated, and accepted in from Myanzi Village their localities. I have noticed that our dignity is taken into consideration. They (Pygmies) can express themselves; they seem able to speak, to give their opinion in meetings, and to share meals with other communities.” Leki Nabushako has observed the changes that have been made following the Amani Kwa Maendeleo project. Specifically, she noted that two Pygmies were included in the selection of members for the local peace and development community. Nabushako gave thanks to the USAID’s SPR program for the community inclusion that she has experienced, which has reinforced social cohesion between Pygmies and other communities.
INCLUSIVITY AND PARTICIPATION FOR SOCIAL COHESION
Biramirwa Magendo Emmanuel, 32, lives in Irambira North in the Lugendo groupement, Kabare. He is a husband, father of four children, and lives with a handicap. Despite his handicap, Emmanuel makes his living in agriculture.
55 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV Since the arrival of USAID’s SPR program via the CDJP grant, he has participated in two community forums on sustainability and training on conflict resolution. Emmanuel shared his impressions of this experience on July 1, 2018:
“Before this project, we were completely and totally rejected. We were excluded from all activities related to access to basic services, local governance, and decision-making...This was the prerogative of the rich, friends, brothers, and those close to those in power. We were marginalized. At my first participation in the community development forum, I met other individuals living with a handicap like me, child mothers, widows, orphans, elderly… The impression that struck me is to see them participate in these activities where we met with local chiefs, leaders, and other individuals occupying important posts in the community, and we shared together debates without discrimination or fear. This placed us in an elevated rank, Photo: Birimwa Magendo Emmanuel reciprocally equal as human beings in learning laws and local governance.

A PROBLEM RESOLVED BY LOCAL COMMUNITY MEDIATION
A community member, Ombeni Nyampanga, expressed her gratitude to local peace and development committee members in Irambira North Village (Lugendo, Kabare) during the reporting period, noting:
“Following this mediation, “I come to you to signify my gratitude for the CLOC’s mediation in my favor I live in peace and can following a debt conflict that I experienced.

The CLOC was a new structure, and I thought that it was put into place by the chief in my village. I feared appearing before it and had the idea to flee.
I responded to this invitation to the CLOC and, to my surprise, it was composed of individuals who I knew in my village, because I thought that it was the police who were to arrest me! The CLOC members heard me, with my debt-holder, and he insisted that I could sell my parcel (of land) to pay him his due. This parcel was the only thing I had, and I told them that if I sold it, I did not know how my children would live.
The CLOC understood that I was a poor woman, abandoned by my husband, and that I could not immediately liquidate the debt. They helped my debt-holder to understand, and he accepted that I could calmly find a way to pay him the sum that I owed him.
Following this mediation, I live in peace and can work to begin to pay this Photo: Ombeni Nyampanga, 38 debt without giving up my land. Glory to God and thank you to the CLOC for helping me to find a common ground with my debt-holder. Vive the Irambira CLOC for this work.

PEACEFUL MARCH OF THE LUGENDO AND ISHUNGU POPULATIONS
The populations of the Lugendo and Ishungu groupement were confronted with the issue of lack of water within two of their groupements. The project was initiated with the goal of improving the water supply, but the expected results were not achieved, which developed into conflicts between the population of the groupements and their leaders. The question of the right to water, is thought of as the most basic right and priority for populations. The right to water is often a recurring topic in trainings organized in Lugendo and Ishungu because this right has been violated.
57 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV The people of Lugendo and Ishungu learned about various human rights protection and advocacy mechanisms, among which include peaceful marches. Participants demanded to know how they can they organize a march when the local authorities did not authorize the activity. The trainers took the time to explain information on how to organize a peaceful march. They told participants that the Congolese law only requires informing the relevant authorities.
On May 26th, for the first time, the populations of Lugendo and Ishungu descended into the streets to reclaim their water rights. The local authorities alerted the Caritas’ supervisor that he had not authorized the march in Photo: Peaceful march of the populations in question, but also stated to the staff that it was Caritas’ Lugendo and Ishungu for reclaiming water in the intervention and support that had empowered the population two groupements after the training on ways to to advocate for their rights, even though he was against the reclaim human rights via peaceful march. action. The demonstrators, including individuals who had undertaken the human rights trainings, indicated that they had made arrangements to ensure that the march was in accordance with local law and public order, as was stated in the trainings. The march was successful, as demonstrators were ultimately received by a local authority who listened to their message and promised to work together with the demonstrators, so a solution could be reached, allowing everyone to have access to their right to water.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL COHESION AND DEVELOPMENT
Madame Nsimire was chosen to represent her groupement during USAID’s SPR workshop, organized by grantee COUD, with the goal of producing a community development plan for her community. Nsimire was provided with the opportunity to speak of the problems experienced in the groupement in regard to agriculture, the environment, fishing, and livestock sectors. For Nsimire, an agricultural worker with an awakened spirit and exceptional degree of charisma, this represented a unique opportunity to play a decisive role in the developmental dynamics of her community (Ishungu), which is frequently passed over by humanitarian aid in favor of its neighbor (Birava) in Kabare. This opportunity ensured female representation and points-of-view were taken into consideration during this process.
Nsimire’s contribution to the workshop was exceptional; she explained to members in her working group the process to plan and ensure participatory diagnostics in the local dialect and oriented her fellow working group members on data collection. Further, she presented input into environmental and topographical factors while developing the plan, which was linked to agriculture and soil fertility. In this regard, she empowered the community to mobilize itself to put into place strategies to counter soil erosion, noting: “Runaka heba e’miligoti, na kurhwera byasi e ‘bikuyu, e’bilula na e’chibingu!,” Madame Nsimire highlighted the role that men and Photo: Madame Nsimire expresses her impressions women in her community observe with the aim of after the Ishungu Community Development Plan planting flora capable of working to reduce soil erosion.” workshop.
58 | USAID SPR – AMANI KWA MAENDELEO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT USAID.GOV Additionally, Madame Nsimire shared her experience in the fisheries sector and helped to elaborate a collective analysis of issues. For instance, she raised the issue of FARDC’s presence, which prevents the smooth implementation of fisheries and contributes to lake pollution. These factors resulted in a forcible displacement of fishing activities and a lack of fish, which, in turn, have resulted in famine and poverty for community members.
Nsimire represents one of the first instances of women participating in community discussion circles which make decisions on behalf of her groupement, thanks to the efforts of the USAID’s SPR program and its partners. Her participation has a particularly important value contributing to gender equality in her community and by taking into account women’s viewpoints in the analysis of problems and in decision-making. Through her example, Mme Nsimire encourages other women in her community to involve themselves and to make their voices heard.
