DRC: Successful reintegration of refugees in Equateur province

The reintegration of thousands of refugees around Dongo in Democratic Republic of the Congo's Equateur province is surpassing expectations and could encourage others to return from neighbouring Republic of Congo. But despite the positive reintegration trends and the high level of returns, the lack of funding for UNHCR's voluntary repatriation programme for Congolese refugees remains a significant problem that could ultimately affect returns planned for the second half of this year.
