Cultural Backgrounder: Congolese

This backgrounder contains historical, political, and cultural information intended to cultivate a general understanding of Congolese who are arriving to the U.S. The ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo is complex and spans decades. CORE produced this backgrounder to aid U.S. Resettlement Agencies (RAs) and their local affiliates to provide culturally appropriate Cultural Orientation (CO) and other services to newly arrived Congolese. The information provided is intended as guidance and does not represent the needs and challenges of all Congolese. As such, resettlement staff are encouraged to adapt their services as appropriate
