A/HRC/30/33 52. The resolution of land disputes relating to the return of displaced perso ns to their places of origin led the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to support local dispute resolution committees, 700 of which have been set up in the east of the country. Between 2013 and 2014, approximately 70 per c ent of land disputes were resolved, 20 per cent were referred to the law courts and 10 per cent were not resolved. 53. Between October 2010 and January 2014, in the province of Bas -Congo, the Comitato Internazionale Per Lo Sviluppo Dei Popoli provided foo d and medical and logistical assistance — through local NGOs — to 10,000 Congolese who had been expelled from Angola. The short duration of these projects and the way in which they are funded negatively impacts the sustainability of the results obtained. 4. Protection of indigenous peoples 54. According to the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper 2011-2015, 80 per cent of cases brought before the courts related to land disputes. Since 2012, there have been recurrent inter-community disputes between the Luba and the Twas (indigenous peoples) in the province of Katanga (Kabalo, Kalermie, Kongolo, Manono, Moba and Nyunzu), causing the displacement of approximately 4,000 Twas. These conflicts originated in discrimination against the Twas, including in relation to access to land ownership. UNHCR, through its partnership with Search for Common Ground, has run awareness-raising campaigns among internally displaced persons and returnees on peaceful cohabitation. The dialogue established between communities and local government, with technical support from UNJHRO and UNHCR, has led to a calmer situation in Kalermie. D. Economic and social rights 55. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has significant natural resources which are often exploited illegally. This situation remains a significant source of conflict and violations of human rights, including economic and social rights. 11 The interventions of international actors focus in particular on access to health and capacity -building in local communities to allow their participation in drawing up plans for local development with a view to improving their enjoyment of economic and social righ ts. 1. Access to basic health care 56. According to demographic and health surveys, the number of women benefiting from a skilled birth attendant in a medical facility rose from 74 per cent in 2007 to 80 per cent in 2014. 12 UNFPA and the United States Agency for International Development carried out advocacy and technical assistance activities which resulted in the drafting of a bill on reproductive health and a national strategic plan on family planning in 2013. With the assistance of UNFPA, training for midwives was integrated into the National Reproductive Health Programme and the work of the Ministry for Higher and University Education. In addition, the combined efforts of Cordaid, the World Health Organization, UNFPA and UNICEF resulted in the equipping of medical facilities and the regular supply of medicines and health products, which led to an improvement in the provision of reproductive health services. These improvements were achieved through good strategic planning and coordinated efforts by the international community working with national and provincial authorities. __________________ 11 12 GE.15-14279 Statement made in 2008 by the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers .
