The objective of this activity is to: (1) increase resilience of the local communities in Mbomou-Uele region, (2) improve living conditions among the transhumant and sedentary population and (3) secure conservation and management of ecosystems. With the emphasis on Transhumance, Livelihoods and Gender-Based Violence, this activity will be built on the past programs.
This activity will enable local communities’ members to (i) connect and adapt to security and reduce threats for biodiversity conservation (ii) increase and promote sustainable livelihoods activities and foster economic security; (iii) foster social cohesion and rebuilt their communities from trauma; (iv) reduce gender-based violence and strengthen resilience of survivors of sexual violence.
The dynamic in the region is that armed groups and uncontrolled pastoralists, and the absence of effective good governance and security have combined to form a deadly mixture of violent crime, land-based conflict and displacement. In the recent past, LRA has had a particularly devastating effect on communities and particularly on women and youth largely because they
5 were frequent targets for abduction. Those who managed to escape, often struggle to reintegrate into their communities and must deal with the emotional trauma due to the violence they were exposed to. The Activity will address these challenges and pursue the above objective by partnering with other organizations operating in the regions.
