Patrick Milabyo Kyamusugulwa

I graduated in 2014 in Wageningen University (The Netherlands) where I did my PhD studies in community-driven reconstruction in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I am lecturer/researcher at the Institut Superieur des Techniques Medicales de Bukavu (ISTM-Bukavu) and the Institut Suprieur de Developpement Rural de Bukavu (ISDR-Bukavu) and researcher at the International Institute of the Social Studies (ISS) of the Erasmus University of Rotterdam (The Netherlands). I have published widely in participatory approaches to health, development and reconstruction. I am currently doing research on social accountability and gender.

Key words: community-driven reconstruction, community-driven development, power relations, capacity building for governance, labour, gender, social accountability, local ownership.
