Democratic Republic of the Congo: Improving the prospects for local peace through the Dimitra Clubs

As part of a joint programme between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), FAO implemented the Dimitra Clubs, a gender-transformative approach aimed at improving rural livelihoods and gender equality through collective action and self-help.

The Dimitra Clubs contributed to improving social cohesion and prospects for local peace in the Tanganyika Province in DR Congo. This promising practice is an example of a resilience-building intervention implemented through an integrated, communitybased, multi-partner approach operationalizing the humanitarian-development-peace nexus.
