Social issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo

''The Democratic Republic of the Congo'' is a country located in central Africa.
== Poverty ==
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has one of the highest incidences of poverty in the world. And unfortunately it is still going on. DRC is #1 out of 11 top poor countries in the world (2014) At a rate of 71.34, its incidence of poverty is “extremely high”, even in comparison with other central African countries. However, this poverty is not evenly distributed. The IMF estimates that poverty is more prevalent in rural areas (75.72%) than in urban areas (61.49%), while the provinces of Équateur, Bandundu and Sud-Kivu have a poverty incidence of over 85% compared to Kinshasa’s 42%.〔International Monetary Fund, “Democratic Republic of Congo: Poverty Reduction Paper,” ''IMF Country Report'', September (2007): 22.〕
The DRC’s high incidence of poverty is partly attributable to the ethnic conflict that spilled over from neighboring Rwanda and an ongoing civil war between government troops and rebel groups in Eastern Congo. The sustained levels of violence have caused massive infrastructural damage, internal displacement, and loss of property and lives. In 2007, the International Rescue Committee estimated that 5.4 million people had died from the war and that another 1,250 continue to die each day from war-related causes.〔Robinson,Simon. “The Deadliest War in the World.” ''Time Magazine'', 28 May 2006.〕〔Kristof,Nicholas D. “Orphaned, Raped, Ignored.” ''The New York Times'', 30 January 2010.〕
In order to reduce the levels of poverty in the country, the government embarked on IMF recommended reforms to improve its macroeconomic environment, initiate policies to support economic growth as well as improve its provision of basic social services. While the results have been mixed, the IMF notes in its 2010 report that Congo’s economic governance has improved, over 22,000 km of roads have been completed and “significant progress” have been made in increasing primary school enrollment from 64.1% in 2004 to 84.3% in 2008 and reducing infant mortality.〔International Monetary Fund, "Democratic Republic of Congo: Poverty Reduction Paper – Progress Report", ''IMF Country Report'', October (2010): 7-11.〕
