Who We Are

Participatory Ecological Land Use Management in the Democratic Republic of Congo

PELUM-RDC works through member organisations to promote agroecology, stronger governance, knowledge sharing and better livelihoods for small-scale agro-pastoral farmers.

PELUM-RDC is a Congolese network created in 2019 and strengthened through national mobilisation, legal registration, governance building and continental affiliation within PELUM Association.

Its work brings together sustainable land management, farmers’ seed systems, climate resilience, entrepreneurship, inclusion of women and youth, and institutional development so that member organisations can support communities more effectively.
