Child Soldiers Initiative (CSI) is a project created and led by Lieutenant-General the Honourable Romeo A. Dallaire. CSI is working to build connections and partnerships as part of a global movement to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers; to generate new knowledge on the child soldier issue; and to influence national policies and training of security forces.
This blog will track and communicate research efforts by CSI in the Democratic Republic of Congo during July-August 2010.

Tanya Zayed, Shelly Whitman, and Patrick Musibi will be embarking on a two week fact-finding mision to the Eastern, DRC commencing 19 July 2010. Our hope is that by creating this blog you will be able to follow our "ups and downs" and contribute your thoughts.
We are encouraged by the support we have received from UNICEF, MONUC, and NGOs on the ground thus far. However, no trip to the DRC would be complete without its hiccups...!!!
