"L'Institut pour la Libertie and La Democratie". This
organization has more than 100 members and its purpose is to
promote the development of democratic culture. This is obviously
of vital importance to the DRC as the country continues its
transitional process towards democratic elections. Mr. Fayulu

level. The Country Team has approved this nominee.
