Abstract

Following an assessment trip to Kinshasa and the Kivus in July 2001, Search for Common Ground in the DRC was launched in mid-October with the immediate goal of supporting communications around the Inter-Congolese Dialogue (lCD), which is seen by many as the cornerstone of the peace process currently underway in the DRC. Our immediate objective was to design and implement a strategic communications campaign aimed at disseminating information about the lCD nation-wide, and engaging all Congolese in wide-ranging discussions about the peace process. We requested funding from the International Development Research Centre to enable us to produce and broadcast a series of roundtable discussions and peacebuilding programs as a part of this overall campaign. This final report provides, first, details of the radio series produced and broadcast in terms of this grant. The second part describes the larger strategic campaign of which they are a part.
