Democratic Republic of Congo

A national family life education programme was endorsed in the DRC by all education sector actors and resulted in the development of student textbooks and teaching guides. A ministerial order requires all schools to implement the curriculum. An SRH and CEI coordination group is operational, and an annual inter-sectoral roadmap to which all stakeholders adhere contributes to the effectiveness and complementarity of interventions. Due in particular to TV lessons on SRH, parents and other members of the community are increasingly supportive of family life education.
