Initiative

Kufatilia

Incident reporting and monitoring system for the mining sector, launched by IPIS with Congolese civil-society organisations and running since 2018; its Swahili name is glossed by IPIS as “to follow-up” on one page and “to track” on another. It has worked in Lualaba since March 2023, when IPIS trained ADDH, AFEDECO and IBGDH in Kolwezi, and its partners formalised it in November 2023 as a network of 17 civil-society organisations across Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu and Lualaba. IPIS's 2023 announcement describes reporting by text message, and the current project page a WhatsApp-based questionnaire. Its public dashboard shows confirmed incidents by province and territory only, with a downloadable subset. The project page names the EU Foreign Policy Instrument, Belgian development cooperation and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs as funders, and the dashboard page adds EPRM and USAID among donors over the years. Everything here comes from IPIS.
