(Figures are not yet available for funding through global initiative and other UK Government Departments).The Foreign and Commonwealth Office leads on human rights issues in the DRC. The British embassy in Kinshasa works closely with the UN mission to increase the international community's understanding of the human rights situation. It works closely with its EU counterparts to co-ordinate lobbying on human rights issues. The UK Missions to the UN in New York and to the Human Rights Council in Geneva work with international partners to ensure continued focus on the human rights situation in DRC, and the UK has pressed for the DRC to remain on the agenda at the UN Human Rights Council.DFID aims to improve the human rights situation in the DRC through its programmes. For instance, DFID is investing in promoting police reform with a specific focus on respect for human rights, and it expects to reach at least 12,000 victims of sexual and gender-based violence with medical, psychological and economic reintegration support. The DFID funded community recovery programme, Tuungane, specifically focuses on marginalised groups, for instance ensuring that water points are accessible to vulnerable or marginalised groups.
