The second data collection will soon be completed in the various regions of Rwanda and has just begun in North Kivu. For this new round of data collection, the same participants were contacted to complete the questionnaires and tasks, allowing us to track changes across the various measures selected by the Psycavi Observatory team. This fieldwork requires a very high level of commitment from the researchers, coordinators, and several research assistants with whom we are pleased to collaborate again this year. The value of enriching our data through a longitudinal design lies in building a comprehensive picture of the psychological health of populations affected by armed conflict and intergroup violence across three sites (Rwanda, North Kivu, and South Kivu), and in monitoring how it evolves in response to economic, political, and legal changes in the targeted societies. The initial results are already looking very promising.
