Cooperation with the Democratic Republic of the Congo dates back to 1978 when FAO opened its country office. Assistance has focused on improving food and nutrition security, including support to the formulation of policies and strategies for agricultural and rural development, natural resource management and resilience building in the face of climate change. After nearly two decades of persistent civil insecurity and conflict, FAO is contributing to peace-building and reconciliation by supporting food production and strengthening agricultural livelihoods for vulnerable communities, including returnees and ex combatants.
