The Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple (CNDP) is a political organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was established in 2006 and primarily represents the interests of various groups, including former combatants and marginalized communities. The CNDP aims to promote peace, security, and development in the region, particularly in areas affected by conflict. The CNDP emerged from the broader context of the Congolese civil wars and is associated with the Tutsi community. It has been involved in various peace negotiations and has sought to address issues related to governance and human rights in the DR Congo.
