In recent years, we, the United Nations country team as well as the humanitarian country team, have worked closely with the In the Democratic Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and provincial authorities, together with other partners for development, humanitarian aid and peacebuilding, to operationalize the humanitarian aid, development and peace nexus.
