The United Nations (UN) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) consists of a peacekeeping mission and 22 programs, funds and specialized agencies working together and alongside the Congolese government for the stabilization and the development of the DRC while providing humanitarian assistance to the needy.

Its interventions are derived from  the resolutions of the Security Council that secure the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the period 2013-2017 developed jointly with the DRC government.

DRC is a UN member since 1960, participating in discussions about the role and missions of the UN and thus influences the way in which its priorities are defined and its programs are implemented.
