On 22 April, representatives of the Communauté Islamique au Congo (COMICO), Religions for Peace Interreligious Council in DRC, and the Orthodox Church convened to plan of advocacy around the five-year program of the President of the Republic. The meeting had two items on the agenda: (i) the strategy for submitting the contribution note on forests, and (ii) preparations for the IRI DRC National Conference on Biodiversity. With regard to the first point, the religious leaders, together with the IRI DRC National Facilitator, set the following prerequisites: (a) finalisation of the Contribute Note to the Six Commitments of the President of the Republic, (b) preparation of the summary of the contributions of religious leaders to the Six Commitments, and (c) preparation of the letter requesting an audience with the President of the Republic to submit the Contribution Note. It was agreed that the letter requesting an audience with the President of the Republic would be signed by all leaders of religious denominations, after which a series of planning consultations with the Episcopal Conference of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (CENCO) and the Church of Christ in Congo (ECC) would take place in preparation for the potential meeting.
