I. Introduction

1. The United Nations (UN) Strategy for Peace Consolidation, Conflict Prevention and Conflict Resolution in the Great Lakes Region (S/2020/1168) was adopted by the Executive Committee of the Secretary-General on 22 October 2020. The Strategy was subsequently transmitted to the Security Council and to all signatory countries and guarantor institutions of the Peace, Security and Cooperation (PSC) Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the region in early 2021. The Strategy identifies 10 priorities structured around three pillars: (1) peace, security and justice; (2) sustainable development and shared prosperity; and (3) resilience to long-standing and emerging challenges. The priorities provide an overarching 10-year horizon for United Nations action in the region.

2. Upon adoption of the Strategy, the Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region (OSESG-GL) was requested to establish a Senior Policy Group (SPG) and tasked to lead the elaboration of the Strategy’s Action Plan for the next three years (2021-2023). Composed of nine principals representing UN entities both at Headquarters and in the field, including Special Representatives and Resident Coordinators, the SPG serves as the political steering and management body for the implementation of the Strategy. Following a series of preparatory meetings, the SPG held its inaugural meeting on 20 May 2021 and adopted a roadmap for the elaboration of the Strategy’s Action Plan.

3. In terms of methodology, the Action Plan, like the regional Strategy, was developed following a consultative process led by OSESG-GL with key actors in the Great Lakes region and beyond. First, in May and June 2021, OSESG-GL conducted a series of consultations with a variety of stakeholders, including representatives of signatory countries and guarantor institutions of the PSC Framework, members of the International Contact Group (ICG) on the Great Lakes Region, UN entities at Headquarters and in the region, as well as civil society, including women’s organizations and the private sector from the region. Secondly, OSESG-GL compiled written contributions from these actors on the basis of questionnaires to seek their views on the most urgent priorities that should guide the UN political and programmatic engagements in the region. These two steps culminated in a hybrid workshop held in Kinshasa, the DRC, on 9-10 June 2021, facilitated by the New York-based think tank Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum (CPPF).

4. During the consultations, participants identified more than 100 “priorities of priorities” which for the purpose of efficient discussion in the workshop, were summarized and grouped under five clusters of priority interventions as detailed in Section II. The final priority interventions identified in this Action Plan (27 for 2021; 32 for 2022; and 30 for 2023), were selected on the basis of the following criteria: urgency, measurability, feasibility within the envisaged timeframe and potential to positively impact efforts towards peace, security and sustainable development in the region. Given the significant number of competing priorities, the Action Plan envisages a phased approach: an initial focus in the next six months on the implementation of the most pressing initiatives across the five clusters, including ongoing initiatives and projects, followed by the implementation, in 2022 and 2023, of other key initiatives identified during the consultations.

5. The objective of the Action Plan is to operationalize the Strategy and translate its vision of a peaceful, inclusive and prosperous Great Lakes region into feasible, impactful and time-bound priority actions for the period 2021-23. The Action Plan will take effect on 15 July 2021. It provides the United Nations entities, signatory countries, regional organizations, international and financial partners, as well as other actors such as civil society organizations, including women’s and youth organizations, with a tool for accountability, resource mobilization, programming, coordination as well as monitoring and evaluation of progress and results in the implementation of the Strategy.

6. The Action Plan is divided into two main parts: a narrative section and three annexes, outlining the key priority initiatives, lead entities, and indicators of progress for the remainder of 2021, for 2022 and 2023, respectively.

II. Priority Areas of Intervention

7. As indicated above, during the consultations, the following five clusters were identified under which priority interventions will be structured:

i. Promoting dialogue and strengthening trust;

ii. Reducing the threat posed by armed groups;

iii. Promoting sustainable and transparent management of natural resources,

as well as trade and investment;

iv. Finding durable solutions to forced displacement; and

v. Promoting regional preparedness to public health crises.

8. Youth and women’s inclusion, participation and empowerment, as well as the promotion of human rights and the fight against impunity will be addressed across all five clusters.

a. Immediate priority initiatives for the remainder of 2021

9. For the first phase of the Action Plan’s implementation, comprising ongoing and new initiatives envisaged until the end of 2021, the following immediate priority initiatives were identified, of which most are reflected in Annex 1:

Ten priorities guiding UN action in the Great Lakes region

3

Our vision: A peaceful, inclusive and prosperous Great Lakes region

4

Cluster 1: Promoting dialogue and strengthening trust

10. Activities under this cluster will be spearheaded by the Special Envoy, in coordination, as necessary, with Special Representatives of the Secretary-general, in the region, who will pursue the Secretary-General’s good offices, including shuttle and quiet diplomacy, focusing on supporting good neighborly relations among countries of the region. Furthermore, OSESG-GL, together with the African Union, will support the DRC Government in the organization of the 10th Summit of the Regional Oversight Mechanism, a critical platform for high-level dialogue between leaders of the signatory countries of the PSC Framework. Together with the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), the UN will support initiatives aimed at implementing the commitments made by the countries of the region under the 2019 Nairobi Declaration on Justice and Good Governance, including on transitional justice and on strengthening national human rights institutions. These engagements will be complemented with support to initiatives at the subnational levels such as intercommunity dialogues and reconciliation initiatives aimed at fostering trust and contributing to tackle root causes of conflicts.

11. As part of initiatives to strengthen the role of women in political processes, the United Nations will work with the Association of African Election Authorities (AAEA) and electoral management bodies (EMBs) of countries of the region to ensure gender balance and promote capacity building for women in the EMBs, including through the creation of a network of women electoral officials and administrators. It is also envisaged to engage regional parliamentary fora to promote women’s protection laws and adopt gender mainstreaming in national budgets.

12. Finally, efforts will be undertaken to strengthen joint analysis, early warning and prevention capacities among UN entities, regional and sub-regional organizations and regional cooperation mechanisms.

Cluster 2: Reducing the threat posed by armed groups

13. Under the auspices of the Office of the Special Envoy and the other guarantor institutions of the PSC Framework, key initiatives for the upcoming months will center around support to the newly established Contact and Coordination Group (CCG) on non-military measures as the key vehicle to support regional efforts towards reducing the threat posed by armed groups. This will include support to the operationalization of the CCG’s operational cell and, together with MONUSCO, the development of an engagement strategy with armed groups. In support of one of the CCG’s objectives aiming to support efforts to curb the illicit flows of arms and ammunition, technical assistance will be provided to further the implementation of applicable international and regional arms control instruments. This could be done in the framework of the joint UN Department of Operations-Office of Disarmament Affairs (DPO-ODA) project on “Effective weapons and ammunition management in a changing DDR context”. In support of the objectives of this cluster, support will be provided to prosecutors of the ICGLR Great Lakes Judicial Cooperation Network investigating and prosecuting cross-border crime, particularly crime related to the illicit trade and management of natural resources and the cross-border activism of armed groups. Efforts will also be undertaken to support the establishment of a disarmament, demobilization, repatriation, reintegration and resettlement (DDR/RR) working group to enhance coordination at the regional level, building on international and regional best practices and expertise. The DDR/RR working group will also focus on the specific challenges faced by children, youth and women ex-combatants.

14. During the period under consideration, OSESG-GL, in collaboration with the Network of African Women in Conflict Prevention and Mediation (AU-FemWise), ICGLR, UN Women Regional Office for Eastern and Southern Africa (ESARO) and UNDP will work towards the establishment of a pool of women mediators for the Great Lakes region to promote peacebuilding, including in support of community-based women networks. Through their expertise and experience, these women mediators will also contribute to the work of the CGC on non-military measures.

15. Consultations with countries of the region will also be initiated to define options for support to the development of national strategies on the prevention of violent extremism (PVE), which would include, among others, strengthening early warning capacities/mechanisms and building resilience of communities.

Cluster 3: Promoting a sustainable and transparent management of natural resources, as well as trade and investment

16. Efforts during the second half of 2021 will focus on support to the organization of a high-level workshop on natural resources in Khartoum, the Sudan, and of the Great Lakes Investment and Trade Conference in Kigali, Rwanda. These will be complemented by the Special Envoy’s political advocacy with stakeholders across the value chain, including transit and destination countries, for the adoption of a holistic approach aimed at strengthening transparency, formal cooperation mechanisms, and compliance with regional and international instruments on natural resources. Efforts will also continue to support the bankability of selected cross-border projects deemed suitable to transform border areas into catalysts for growth and shared prosperity and which have the potential to address root causes of tension in the region.

17. Women’s empowerment will be promoted through the design of capacity building initiatives, including on cross-border policy and legal frameworks, targeting women entrepreneurs in the region, taking into account women with disabilities.

18. Finally, support will be provided to existing regional mechanisms to further address the linkages between armed groups and the illegal exploitation of natural resources, including through tailored DDR/RR-CVR responses.

Cluster 4: Finding durable solutions to forced displacement

19. Initiatives in favor of the forcibly displaced in the Great Lakes region will be advanced through the implementation of commitments made by PSC Framework signatory States at the High-Level Meeting of Ministers in Charge of Refugees in the Great Lakes region on 7 March 2019 in Munyonyo, Uganda as well as pledges of the Global Refugee Forum (GRF). UNHCR, supported by OSESG-GL among others, will sustain high-level advocacy to encourage concerned countries to uphold access to asylum procedures, respect the principle of non-refoulement and the civilian character of asylum in accordance with global and regional binding legal frameworks. In addition, a joint UNHCR-ICGLR led study on the prevention of statelessness will be conducted in pilot countries of the region to inform the development of a comprehensive strategy for durable solutions to protracted displacement in the Great Lakes region.

20. Further to this, support will be provided to mobilize resources for the 2021 DRC Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) which caters for the lifesaving and resilience needs of 1 million Congolese refugees living in protracted exile in the region. The UN will also lend its support to resource mobilization efforts for the reintegration of over 140,000 Burundian returnees through the 2021 Burundi Refugee Return and Reintegration Plan (BRRRP) endorsed by the Government of Burundi and co-led by UNDP and UNHCR.

21. Building on ongoing progress in the strengthening of relations between the DRC and Rwanda, efforts towards the revitalization of Tripartite Voluntary Repatriation Agreements between UNHCR, the DRC and Rwanda will be pursued for refugees residing in each other’s countries. The Special Envoy will offer his support through high-level advocacy, as may be required.

22. Finally, in line with a people-centred approach and the “leaving no one behind” principle which underpins the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, intention surveys will be carried out in refugee-hosting countries to document evidence-based comprehensive and durable solutions for six million forcibly displaced IDPs and refugees some 80% of whom are women, children, and youth. Consequent efforts will also be made to include persons with disabilities in these intention surveys.

Cluster 5: Promoting regional preparedness to public health crises

23. An assessment of the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic will be jointly conducted by the UNDP regional resilience hub and OSESG-GL, together with concerned UN Country Teams in the region, as a decisive analytical tool to guide future action. This will be complemented by advocacy efforts to encourage governments to allocate sufficient resources for resilient and sustainable health systems, including

through greater investments in favor of digital and data systems for early warning, real time monitoring and response. Furthermore, steps will be taken to support the establishment of a network of health experts aimed at promoting coordination and preparedness on public health crises, with an emphasis on addressing the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on women and youths, and on these groups’ participation in the development of future recovery plans.

b. Priority initiatives for 2022 and 2023

24. In 2022 and 2023, the UN will continue to implement priority initiatives aimed at consolidating progress made in 2021, and addressing impeding challenges in peace, security and development. The priority initiatives for these years, outlined in Annex 2 and Annex 3, respectively, will be further adjusted based on the status of implementation of initiatives carried out in 2021 and the evolving situation in the Great Lakes region. Similarly, adjustments will include more specific priority initiatives, such as those related to the prevention of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), preparedness and resilience to climate change and natural disasters for which only general recommendations were made during the Kinshasa workshop and its preceding consultations.

III. Implementation of the Action Plan

25. Effective implementation of the Action Plan will be a shared responsibility among the relevant stakeholders, including signatory countries and guarantor institutions of the PSC Framework, United Nations political and peacekeeping missions in the region, Resident Coordinator Offices (RCOs) as well as Agencies, Funds, and Programmes of the UN. As appropriate, they will partner with and/or seek support from the ICG and other bilateral and multilateral partners, civil society actors, and the private sector, to implement initiatives and projects identified in this Action Plan, in support of the Governments and people of the region.

a. Planning, coordination and division of labor

26. The Special Envoy will lead and coordinate the United Nations support to the full implementation of the Action Plan in concert with the SPG which will provide the overarching strategic guidance on the implementation process. To promote greater accountability to countries of the region and partners, the SPG will define roles and responsibilities, ensure adequate coordination, review the status of execution, and pool resource mobilization efforts for the implementation of initiatives outlined in this Action Plan.

27. In addition to this, the Special Envoy and/or the SPG will also engage with external stakeholders (including regional and sub-regional organization, international financial institutions, development partners, women fora, youth fora and other civil society organizations, as well as representatives of the private sector) to promote synergies between all stakeholders involved in the implementation process.

28. In line with the principles of partnerships, comparative advantages based on mandate and thematic expertise promoted in the Strategy, a clear division of labor between key actors, including among UN entities, will underpin the implementation of the Action Plan. In this connection, entities will lead and coordinate the implementation of the activities related to their respective mandate and expertise as highlighted in Annexes 1, 2 and 3.

29. In addition to the SPG, UN Agencies, Funds and Programmes will also support the implementation of the Action Plan through existing mechanisms, including the Opportunities/Issue Based Coalitions (OIBC) of the UN Regional Collaborative Platform launched in December 2020.

b. Monitoring, evaluation and reporting

30. Implementation of the Action Plan will require regular monitoring and periodic evaluation of progress, gaps, challenges, opportunities, and results. This will be done mainly through the SPG and its technical arm, the Implementation Support Mechanism (ISM) which will focus on the day-to-day planning and coordination, monitoring progress and ensuring follow-up.

31. The ISM will develop a detailed monitoring, evaluation and learning framework of the implementation of the Strategy’s Action Plan based on the guidance provided by the SPG and in line with standards such as those defined by the International Aid Transparency Initiative. This will also include data collection

7

and disaggregation to ensure interventions are duly aligned with this Action Plan’s objectives, including inclusivity and consideration of the specific needs of vulnerable groups. Furthermore, dedicated thematic working groups will be established, which will report to the ISM. The ISM will further provide the link to the OIBC on the Great Lakes region, thereby ensuring that ongoing and planned interventions of UN Agencies, Funds, and Programmes are effectively aligned with the Strategy and its Action Plan.

32. OSESG-GL will support the SPG and its ISM by serving as its Secretariat. To this end, due consideration will be given to ensuring that the Secretariat possesses the required resources and expertise to provide the required coordination, planning and substantive support to the SPG and its ISM.

33. Beyond these UN mechanisms, review on the status of implementation of the Strategy’s Action Plan will also be informed by consultations with signatory countries and guarantor institutions of the PSC Framework, the Advisory Board for Women, Peace and Security in the Great Lakes Region, civil society organizations, experts and other stakeholders, as needed.

34. A review envisaged for early 2022 will inform adjustments as may be necessary in the implementation of the Action Plan and provide key lessons learned for the remainder of the period. It will be followed by another assessment in early 2023 or before, if deem appropriate by the SPG.

c. Communication

35. As highlighted in the Strategy, communication will be critical to its successful implementation. In close consultation with relevant stakeholders, OSESG-GL will develop a communication strategy to ensure that the priorities, initiatives and projects proposed in this Action Plan are well-known and supported by the peoples, governments and organizations of the region as well as international/regional partners.

IV. Funding, Resource Mobilization and Partnerships

36. Effective implementation of the Action Plan hinges on the mobilization of sustainable partnerships and adequate resources. Funding for most of the priority activities identified for the first implementation phase, from 15 July to 31 December 2021, has already been secured, except for some initiatives and projects under Cluster III and Cluster IV on natural resources and forced displacement (see Annex 1).

37. Funding needs for the second and third implementation phases of the Action Plan, from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023, and from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023, respectively, will be estimated by the ISM as part of the development of a comprehensive resource mobilization strategy in the last quarter of 2021. The latter will form the basis of all subsequent fundraising efforts to be undertaken by the SPG, under the leadership of the Special Envoy, including with key international financial institutions and partners of the region such as the World Bank, the Peacebuilding Commission, the African Development Bank, the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), the European Union, and GIZ. In the context of the consultations undertaken so far, some partners have already indicated their commitment in principle to support the implementation of the Action Plan, while highlighting the importance of sustained ownership by the signatory countries of the PSC Framework. Thus, resource mobilization efforts will build on this commitment.

a. Principles, Modalities and Approaches

38. In developing a comprehensive resource mobilization strategy for the SPG’s consideration, the ISM will be guided by the following principles:

i. Sustainable partnerships and impact: attention will focus on long-term, sustainable partnerships, including with international financial institutions (IFIs) and the private sector, which can provide predictable funding, particularly for initiatives and projects that have a catalytic character;

ii. Coordination and accountability: avoiding duplication of efforts and maximizing the use of limited resources through effective coordination of all UN stakeholders though the oversight functions provided by the SPG;

8

iii. Funding windows: pooling resources from multiple funding partners, including through dedicated funding management mechanisms and innovative fundraising, will allow for flexibility, prioritization and uninterrupted implementation of initiatives under the five clusters;

iv. Sustained and regular engagements: stakeholders will be periodically updated on the status of implementation of the Action Plan, including through engagements with the Special Envoy, the SPG, strategic dialogues and outreach events.

b. Resource Management

39. Resources mobilized for the Action Plan will be managed and channeled by UN entities through existing frameworks. Given the emphasis on a cross-border and regional approach, and the need to ensure coherence of UN action in the region, the SPG will work closely with the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF) to design efficient, accountable and transparent pooled funding mechanisms adapted to the priorities of the Action Plan.

40. OSESG-GL, as the Secretariat of the SPG and its ISM, will require dedicated human resources to effectively carry out this task. In view of the financial constraints of the UN, this could be done through extrabudgetary funding, partnerships with other UN entities or through existing programmes such as the Junior Professional Officers or the United Nations Volunteer Programmes.

V. Conditions for success

41. The successful implementation of this Action Plan will depend on several factors. These include a cohesive and coordinated approach by the UN entities involved and their ability to rally technical and financial support and mobilize effective action from key stakeholders in the region and beyond through effective partnerships. It will also require sustained ownership and political will by the signatory countries of the PSC Framework, as well as engagements by other important constituencies such as civil society organizations, to ensure that all the initiatives identified in this Action Plan are effectively implemented and respond to national and regional needs. Finally, success will be attained through collective commitment to address challenges that continue to impede progress in the region.

VI. Annexes

42. The three Annexes to this Action Plan each cover a phase of the Action Plan.

Annex 1, covering Phase I and running until 31 December 2021, includes ongoing and upcoming initiatives for which required and secured resources have been reflected in the Matrix, to the extent possible.

Annexes 2 and 3, covering Phase II and III, from 1st January to 31 December 2022 and 1st January to 31 December 2023 respectively, include initiatives for these periods, with less details.

During the evaluation of the implementation of Phase I, the Implementation Support Mechanism will provide more specific details on the initiatives envisaged for Phases II and III, including the commensurate costing and secured funding, when applicable, with due consideration to progress made and challenges encountered in 2021
