Grant Description

On April 16, 2014, the first batch of peacekeepers in the 17th Peacekeeping mission set off for the DRC. The 218 peacekeepers in total came from the engineering unit and medical unit. The second batch of peacekeepers will set off 10 days later with 118 peacekeepers.

The peacekeeping mission is likely supporting the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or MONUSCO. The mission will reportedly last for 8 months. Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve.

Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
