The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the country with the largest internally displaced population in Africa
DRC hosts over 0.5 millions refugees and asylum seekers.
Lack of a proper civil registration system puts many at risk of statelessness in DRC. UNHCR joins the United Nations Legal Identity Program to help the DRC government put in place a strong registration system that is inclusive for all types of populations, ensuring that no one is left behind.
