3 BURUNDI - Insecurity and violence in Burundi affect security and the economy in Uvira The political and security crisis in Burundi has resulted in the displacement of nearly 20,000 Burundians toward South Kivu, mainly in the Uvira region. Burundian rebels are also allegedly present on Congolese territory. The Burundi crisis is seen as a potential source of insecurity in eastern Congo. In Uvira territory, almost one in three (29%) think the Burundi crisis has had a negative impact on safety at night, and more than one in five (22%) argued that the crisis has had a negative effect on safety during the day. The percentage of people thinking that the crisis has had a negative effect on safety is lower in the city of Uvira compared to the rest of the territoire. However, the economic impact of the crisis is strongly felt in both the city and the rest of the territoire. Between a quarter and a third of respondents in the city of Uvira think the crisis negatively affects product availability (28%) and price (32%). The percentage is similar to the Uvira territory (30% and 28% consider a negative effect on the availability of products and prices, respectively).

Considering the effects of the crisis in Burundi on security, men are more frequently negative than women - 29% of men think that their safety in daily activities has deteriorated, against 10% of women; and 40% of men feel their safety to walk alone at night has deteriorated, against only 12% of women. There are fewer differences between men and women regarding the perception of the economic impact of the crisis in Burundi - 29% of men and 29% of women think that the crisis has had a negative impact on market prices, and 31% of men and 27% of women argue that the crisis has had a negative effect on the availability of products on the market.

5 INSECURITY Perception of insecurity remains high in the cities of Goma, Beni, despite overall improvement Persistent conflict and the presence of armed groups in eastern Congo contribute to a feeling of permanent insecurity among the population. However, in everyday life, it is the fear of thefts and assaults (28%) and the presence of bandits (20%) that are the main direct causes of insecurity. Among 14 situations examined, the situation in which respondents felt least safe is to walk alone at night. Overall the sense of security walking alone at night has improved in eastern Congo over the last 2 years (44% to 53% between December 2013 and December 2015), especially in South Kivu (38% to 55%). The sense of security is the lowest in North Kivu (December %) compared to other provinces. It is particularly low in the cities of Goma (Dec %) and Beni (Dec %).

6 The provincial-level analysis of the sense of safety masks significant differences between women and men. Data collected between September and December 2015 show that the relationship between gender and sense of security is not simple. In North Kivu, women often feel more secure than men in their daily activities (74% v. 68%). In South Kivu, these percentages are similar across gender (80%), and in Ituri, women feel less frequently safe than men in their daily activities (74% v. 85%). In all provinces, women feel less safe than men walking at night, although there are differences by territoires. Compared with men, women are more frequently trusting of the police to ensure their security in South Kivu (55% v. 35%) and Ituri (67% v. 51%). In North Kivu, the difference between men and women is not significant (57% v. 59%).

7 WEAPONS - The presence of firearms for protection is associated with insecurity and lack of trust in the police The conflicts in eastern DRC have had as a corollary a major proliferation of small arms among the population. According to a 2011 study, 1 about half or more of respondents had heard gun shots in their village / neighborhood during the six months period prior to the survey. According to the same survey, 72% of respondents indicated the likely presence or some small-caliber weapons in their neighborhood or village, but only 9% acknowledged the presence of small arms in the household. According to the polls from September and December 2015, 16% of respondents acknowledged that firearms were used in their village or neighborhood for reasons of defense and protection. The presence of firearms for protection reasons was mentioned more frequently by men (22%) compared to women (9%), and in Fizi (36%), Kalehe (33%) and Irumu (31%) compared to the other territoires. The results also suggest that the presence of firearms for protection reasons is associated with feelings of insecurity. Among respondents feeling safe walking at night, 15% reported the presence of firearms. Among respondents not feeling safe walking at night, 23% reported the presence of firearms. Similarly trust in the police is associated with a lower presence of firearms. These results suggest that enhancing the sense of security and trust in the police may be associated with a reduction in the presence of weapons.

8 DETAILED ANALYSIS - efforts against sexual violence are perceived positively, but remain relatively unknown The incidence of sexual violence during the 12 months preceding the interview revealed by the polls is low - about 14 per 1,000 among women and 10 per 1,000 among men. In one-third of the cases, women reported multiple experiences, and in two out of five cases, firearms were used. Compared to these results, multiple experiences are less common among men (one in eight case), and the use of weapons is also mentioned less frequently than among women (one in eight case). The incidence rate documented here is lower than other rates documented in eastern Congo, ranging from 44 per 1,000 in South Kivu to 64 per 1000 in North Kivu. 2 This can be explained by differences in definition and the interview format which does not facilitate engagement on sensitive and personal topics, resulting in an underestimate of the true incidence. However, the issue of sexual violence was explored in more details, directly and indirectly, during the December 2015 poll. This latest poll shows that of all the cities and territoires covered in December 2015, 3 39% of respondents believe that the fight against sexual violence is a priority of the government, and the same percentage, 39%, consider positively the performance of the government in fighting sexual violence.

9 and securing the population (30%), and significantly higher than the percentage of positive views on poverty reduction efforts (13%) or perception of the fight against corruption (12%) and on job creation (12%). Overall women perceive the government's efforts positively more frequently than men, but this difference is not significant with regard to the efforts against sexual violence. The same poll examined the perception of performances of the police and the judiciary in their work with victims of sexual violence. The percentage viewing these efforts positively are 35% and 46% respectively. The percentage judging positively the efforts of the Government is similar (39%), which is higher than the percentage of respondents who trust the civilian justice system in general (31% for the areas sampled in December 2015), but lower than the percentage of people who trust the police to ensure security (53% for the areas sampled in December 2015).

In terms of administrative divisions, perceptions are more frequently negative in the surveyed cities and territoires in South Kivu, especially considering the performance of the judicial system (36% against 48% in areas covered North Kivu, and 52 % in areas covered in Ituri). Police efforts are perceived positively most frequently in North Kivu (39% positive) compared Ituri (34%) and South Kivu (28%). Peacebuilding and Reconstruction Polls, Report 5, 01/2016 9

10 Across the areas sampled in December 2015, a majority of the population considers that the efforts of the judicial system in cases of sexual violence are better (29%) or similar (45%) compared to the previous year. Improved efforts of the judicial system in cases of sexual violence is most frequently noted in the territoires of Masisi (46%) and Rutshuru (50%). Conversely, this improvement over the previous year is less frequently noted in the territoires of Mahagi (32%) and Idjwi (32%). The efforts of the judicial system in addressing sexual violence are also often considered as better (30%) or similar (41%) to the efforts to address other crimes. The perception among women is however less frequently positive. Just 24% of women think that victims of sexual violence are better served today compared to last year against 35% of men and 64% of women think that victims of sexual violence are similarly or better served than other victims by the judicial system, compared to 78% of men.

Just 15% believe that these efforts are not as good as the last year, especially in the territories of Mahagi (33%) and Idjwi (30%). Improvement of police efforts in adressing sexual violence is most frequently noted in the territoires of Masisi 48%) and Rutshuru (60%). The police's efforts in addressing sexual violence are also considered as better (32%) or similar (37%) to the efforts for other crimes. The perception is different among women and men: 26% of women think that victims of sexual violence are better served today compared to last year against 35% of men and 64% of Peacebuilding and Reconstruction Polls, Report 5, 01/

11 women think that victims of sexual violence are similarly or better served by the judicial system than other victims, compared to 79% of men. Despite progress, challenges remain. Only half of those surveyed in September and December considered that victims of sexual violence may have their cases heard by courts (52%). It is in South Kivu that the possibility of such cases was the least frequently noted (44%). When people were asked to judge the impartiality of justice for sexual violence, only 30% felt the judiciary was impartial in such case, and 43% spoke of partial justice, in favor of men. Women were more frequently negative in their judgment of the efforts of the judiciary to ensure justice for victims of sexual violence compared to men. However, men considered the judicial system to be partial (48%) more frequently than women (39%). These findings suggest that, for women, the negative perception of the efforts of the judiciary for justice for sexual violence is not necessarily linked to a perception of bias, but rather to other elements such as the protection of victims, stigmatization or lack of results. These will be explored in more detail in future polls.

However, major campaigns and efforts remain little known among the population, including the work of the office of the personal representative of the Head of State against sexual violence (14% of respondents heard of this office), and the campaign "break the silence" (17% heard of the campaign). These initiatives are generally less known in Ituri.

12 results suggest no differences between men and women in the level of knowledge of these initiatives. However, it should be noted that women have on average a lower level of education than men, and the educational level was significantly associated with the level of information on the fight against sexual violence initiatives: Among those with a high school degree or higher, 24% have heard about the work of the office of the personal representative of the Head of State against sexual violence, compared to 10% among those with little (incomplete primary) or no education.

The percentage of people agreeing to the return of a woman victim of sexual violence decreases in the hypothesis that she had a child because of the violation (81%) or in case of health consequences in the form of illness or injury (77 %). In general, women more often accept the return of other women victims of sexual violence than men, whether in the community or household. The differences between men and women are more marked considering the return to the home of a female victim of sexual violence that led to the birth of a child (86% of women agree against 77% of men), or leading to illnesses or injuries (82% of women agree against 72% of men). The difference in attitude between genders is strongest in Ituri. For example, 80% of women in Ituri accept the return in the household of a woman victim of sexual violence that led to illnesses or injuries against 52% of men.
