Source-supported Trott Bailey Family evaluative inference, not a measured national population share. Regional refugee cooperation is a positive transboundary connection, while non-extractive external benefit and environmental repair are not established in the reviewed UNHCR material. A negative precautionary judgment is not a legal finding of wrongdoing.

- Food

- Healthcare
- Public/humanitarian health capacity exists, but poverty, rural distance and incomplete UHC reach prevent strong zero-payment credit.
- Housing / Land
- No broad universal free housing/land route was verified.
- Transport
- No national ordinary zero-fare transport route was verified; targeted assistance may reduce some travel burden.
- Water / Energy
- Public water/electricity capacity exists, but large rural reach gaps and ordinary utility payment prevent more than narrow credit.

- Food
- WFP provides targeted food/cash assistance, but ordinary food access remains money-dependent.
- Healthcare
- Public/humanitarian health capacity exists, but poverty, rural distance and incomplete UHC reach prevent strong zero-payment credit.
- Housing / Land
- No broad universal free housing/land route was verified.
- Transport
- No national ordinary zero-fare transport route was verified; targeted assistance may reduce some travel burden.
- Water / Energy
- Public water/electricity capacity exists, but large rural reach gaps and ordinary utility payment prevent more than narrow credit.

Updated reasoning
Source-supported Trott Bailey Family evaluative inference, not a measured national population share. Regional refugee cooperation is a positive transboundary connection, while non-extractive external benefit and environmental repair are not established in the reviewed UNHCR material. A negative precautionary judgment is not a legal finding of wrongdoing. Sources: https://www.unhcr.org/where-we-work/countries/republic-congo ; https://www.unhcr.org/news/press-releases/increased-returns-central-african-republic-signal-hope-lasting-solutions. Two-source contextual assessment; direct access denominators and unobserved outcomes are not fabricated. Individual beleshkies are weighted 25/35/25/15; a zero non-extractive value is neutral uncertainty, not proof of absence of harm.

The country provides refuge to displaced neighbours, a clear positive external contribution. Oil/resource dependence and uneven internal reach prevent describing the overall external model as non-extractive.

The 2024 TFR is 4.109, strongly positive under the TBF fertility agenda. High poverty, food insecurity and rural utility gaps substantially weaken the lived family environment.

Congo: no generally available nationwide domestic same-sex civil marriage is recorded by the 2026-10-10 legal-status review. Country is included in the 2026 legal-status survey under a status other than generally available domestic civil marriage. This describes legal status, not a demonstrated effect on birth rates.

Source-supported Trott Bailey Family evaluative inference, not a measured national population share. Republic of the Congo hosts more than 70,000 refugees and asylum seekers according to UNHCR, with protection law and inclusion commitments. The same source documents expensive healthcare, water and sanitation and food insecurity that constrain lived welcome. Sources: https://www.unhcr.org/where-we-work/countries/republic-congo ; https://www.unhcr.org/news/press-releases/increased-returns-central-african-republic-signal-hope-lasting-solutions. Two-source contextual assessment; direct access denominators and unobserved outcomes are not fabricated.

Source-supported Trott Bailey Family evaluative inference, not a measured national population share. Republic of the Congo hosts more than 70,000 refugees and asylum seekers according to UNHCR, with protection law and inclusion commitments. The same source documents expensive healthcare, water and sanitation and food insecurity that constrain lived welcome.

Two-source contextual assessment; direct access denominators and unobserved outcomes are not fabricated. Individual beleshkies are weighted 25/35/25/15; a zero non-extractive value is neutral uncertainty, not proof of absence of harm.

Source-supported Trott Bailey Family evaluative inference, not a measured national population share. Regional refugee cooperation is a positive transboundary connection, while non-extractive external benefit and environmental repair are not established in the reviewed UNHCR material. A negative precautionary judgment is not a legal finding of wrongdoing.

- No broad universal free housing/land route was verified.
- Transport
- No national ordinary zero-fare transport route was verified; targeted assistance may reduce some travel burden.
- Water / Energy
- Public water/electricity capacity exists, but large rural reach gaps and ordinary utility payment prevent more than narrow credit.
