Second, DRC actively engages in humanitarian disarmament and peacebuilding through active support to coordination mechanisms and regular follow up on international treaties and related updating of DRC policies.

Finally, DRC has is a signatory to the Grand Bargain and supports the efforts among NGOs, UN Agencies, and donors to have an effective humanitarian aid delivered through quality funding and genuine partnership with local actors.
