Regarding refugee children, the UNHCR is working closely with the government to prevent discrimination, domestic violence and sexual assault on refugee populations. In addition to the repatriation, children of Rwandan refugees in Congo now seem to have access to education in the regular Congolese schools. However, access to secondary and higher-level education, the reduction of the number of students per classroom and the search for adequate financial sources remain a challenge. The refugee population does not also suffer from malnutrition more than the local population of the region. Most refugees attend to the needs of their children through agriculture. To this end, the UNHCR and its local partners are conducting awareness campaigns on health and hygiene. The Constitution in Article 42 provides: "foreigners enjoy in the territory of the Republic of Congo the same rights and freedom as nationals under the conditions determined by treaties and laws, subject to reciprocity." Article 819 of the Family Code states that "foreigners enjoy the same rights as nationals”. These two texts were relayed by Law 4-2010 on child protection in the Republic of Congo in particular Articles 5, 26, 27 and 41. In addition, the UNHCR provides legal assistance to victims of sexual violence and provides training on the issue of sexual violence to officers who work directly with refugees, to the police and parliamentarians. For now, according to the UNHCR, 56% of refugee children in rural areas continue to go to school, but it is difficult for those who are not registered as refugees and those who do not have ID. The enrolment rate in secondary school is 25%. Law No. 23-96 of 6 June 1996, sets the conditions for entry, stay and exit of foreigners. The National Committee for Assistance to Refugees (CNAR), which was established by Decree No. 99/310 of 31 December 1999, is responsible for the administrative support of refugees resulting in the issuance of refugee cards, travel documents, the outreach certificates and sometimes scholarships. It also deals with the repatriation operation. Local NGOs, with the support of the government, have developed programmes for unaccompanied children and vulnerable children. These programmes aim to ensure access to basic health care, psychological support, support in starting or consolidating incomegenerating activities, vocational training, and nutrition education. In 2009, with the outbreak of the conflict in the DRC, refugees arrived massively fleeing ethnic violence in the Equateur region of northern DRC. They crossed the Oubangui river to reach several locations in Likouala department. Faced with these problems, the government through its Ministry in charge of Humanitarian Action, Defence and Interior, was mobilised with important provision of food, non-food and medicine from its usual partners (UNDP, UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA, UNESCO, UNAIDS, FAO, CNAR (National Committee for Assistance to refugees) and medical supplies for the MDA charity. Venues and support of refugees were set up. A service package was provided for water, hygiene and sanitation, including rehabilitation / construction of wells, latrines, hand washing devices, water tank system was installed and campaign awareness about hand washing with soaps, cleaning, disinfection and cleaning of existing wells, water treatment, as well as advocacy on sanitation goshawks water points, showers built with support from UNICEF. At the end of January 2010, the number of refugees was estimated at 114 000. Among them were unaccompanied children (134) and separated (141). For these children, in addition to 101
