Officer and Team Leader, USAID/DRC.



After almost 20 years of civil war, the effects of armed conflict continue to plague the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Hundreds of thousands of displaced persons continue to search for a safe place to live; high rates of unemployment, crime and extortion are rampant; and infrastructure has been completely destroyed, leaving in their wake a lack of basic social services, such as clean water, basic health care and access to quality education. While many of these conflicts have subsided, the effects of the conflict are still impacting upon all levels of the educational system.
