The journey, milestones and founding organizations of PELUM-RDC.
1.2.2 Brief History
How the chapter emerged, organized itself, and gained formal recognition.
The idea of creating a PELUM Association chapter in the Democratic Republic of Congo emerged from consultations held in the eastern part of the country, where thirty-one civil society organizations supported the establishment of a national PELUM platform and the request for affiliation to PELUM Association.
Ten founding organizations signed the Constitution of PELUM RDC during the Constituent General Assembly held on October 19, 2019. These included ASOP Congo, ASOPD-GL, ABES Congo, Agir Ensemble, CEDERU, CAPA, CEPED, CFAP, JUDE, and SOCADI.
After an evaluation mission of the Regional Secretariat Committee of PELUM Association in 2023, a report was presented to the Continental Board. In accordance with the constitution and internal regulations of PELUM Association, PELUM RDC was provisionally admitted into the Green Africa network, and the decision was made official during the Triennial General Assembly held in Arusha from September 27 to 29, 2024.
As a result, the Democratic Republic of Congo became the fourteenth member country of PELUM Association. The head office of PELUM RDC is located at No. 10 Avenue de Misée, Quartier Himbi, Commune of Goma, City of Goma, Province of North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo.
