The Congo research briefs are a joint publication of the Conflict Research Group (CRG) at Ghent University, the Social
Science Research Council (SSRC), the Study Group on Conflicts and Human Security (GEC-SH) at the University Research Center of Kivu (CERUKI), and the Governance-in-Conflict Network (GiC). These will provide concise and
timely summaries of ongoing research on the Congo that is being undertaken by CRG, SSRC, GEC-SH, GiC, and
their partners.

The authors would like thank the researchers from GEC-SH who collected the data for the survey. They are:
Alice Mugoli Nalunva, Bienvenu Wakusomba Mukungilwa, Christian Chiza Kashurha, Damase Barhalikubagirwa
Buhendwa, Francine Mudunga Chakirwa, Irène Bahati, Jérémie Mapatano Byakumbwa, Stanislas Bisimwa Baganda,
and Lea Babite. We would like to also thank Philip Stickler who produced the maps featured in this brief.
