Underpinned by participatory development and conflict resolution approach the study conceptualizes conflict resolution as a collective effort by Congolese to resolve their conflict in a peaceful manner to achieve better quality of life for the country through making it a better place for development activities. The thesis makes a contribution in the provision of a comprehensive historical account of the events, personalities and environment that formed the policy for conflict that is affecting development goals in the DRC. This historical account is analysed through institutional frameworks to explain the antecedents that have resulted in conflict resolution policy outcomes that exist in the country at the present time.enSOCIAL SCIENCES::Social sciences::Political science::Peace and development research
