In 2015, the Democratic Republic of the Congo made a moderate
advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The
Government took steps to implement a UN-backed action plan to end the
recruitment and use of child soldiers, including by arresting Force de Résistance Patriotique en Ituri
leader Cobra Matata for use of child soldiers and launching the
Reinsertion and Reintegration Project. The National Labor Council also
approved the National Action Plan to Combat the Worst Forms of Child
Labor, originally drafted in 2011, and submitted it to the Cabinet for
approval and adoption. However, children in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor,
including in the mining of gold, cassiterite (tin ore), coltan (tantalum
ore), and wolframite (tungsten ore), and are used in armed conflict,
sometimes as a result of forcible recruitment or abduction by non-state
armed groups. The prescribed penalties for forced or compulsory labor
remain low and do not serve as deterrents. Decentralization, a lack of
resources, and poor coordination have hampered the Government’s efforts
to combat child labor, and laws mandating free primary education are not
enforced.
