Water Issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Challenges and Opportunities - Technical Report

This technical report comprises an integral part of the broader United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) post-conflict environmental assessment (PCEA) of the DRC. The UNEP PCEA aims to evaluate the key environmental problems and threats facing the DRC and propose strategic options and practical recommendations to address them in the short term. This study focuses on the key challenges in the water sector, which in the case of the DRC are strongly centred on drinking water supply. It was prepared in close collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism (MENCT) and various national and international partners.
