| This report builds
on the work of Refugees International over the past 12 years on the
Great Lakes, all of which depended on countless interviews, meetings,
and visits with displaced people and refugees, UN offi cials, NGO
staff, and donor representatives. MONUC has been very helpful during fi
eld visits, particularly with transport, and the hospitality of friends
in the field, too numerous to mention, is always very much appreciated. At Refugees International, Andrea Lari and Sarah Martin laid the groundwork for this report through their missions to the DRC, and Emila Brkic contributed through her work on children associated with armed conflict, gender, and disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. Joel Charny guided the project; Megan Fowler managed the publication; and Nicole Mailman provided excellent mission support. For his patience and support, Tom Grote also deserves thanks. |
