Clinton replaced the local HEAL Africa Christian group who had a clinic in Africa for women and babies, with a Norwegian team back in 2009 or so. The team was upset with being replaced as you can see in the email link below, and even though it sounds like they were doing a good job, Clinton replaced them with a Norwegians team.

After the Norway Pedo network got busted, Norway pulled its funding from the Clinton Foundation!
Norway’s ministry of foreign affairs said that it has not renewed pledges it had with the Clinton Foundation which ended in 2015.
“Norway has signed several agreements which aimed to help reduce maternal and child mortality in countries with high mortality burden to ensure progress on the [Millennium Development Goals],” Guri Solberg, the communications adviser for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Finansavisen.
They don't specifically mention HEAL AFRICA, but you can surmise by the context that they are referring to the HEAL AFRICA program.

Ah here now have a look at this, the email states
Overview of some financial support offered to north Kivu from Norway https://archive.fo/CpLYH
There more info on activities in South Kivu - while geographically distinct I hope to continue to add more linkages if they exist.
Search this doc for Norway - South Kivu comes straight up - help directed towards ( among other items ) survivors of sexual violence
http://www.trustfundforvictims.org/sites/default/files/imce/Annual%20Report%20Summary%202016.pdf / http://archive.is/iAtVZ
Norways activities specifically in South Kivu brings up this report titled 'Rape with Extreme Violence: The New Pathology in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo'
http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1000204 / http://archive.is/0GZtt
So where had all the money for North Kivu been directed any help here?
UPDATE: Clinton in Goma, Kivu https://archive.is/o9wIW
https://archive.is/1UX8h
So Clinton promises a lot of money to Goma, nearly more than the US offered after the volcano erupted in 2002 which displaced 3-400k people - then shafts a local institution and gives it to the Norwegans 6 days later - no wonder they were donating to her.
Side note possibly related: There may to be linkages with Norwegian Church Aid - https://www.kirkensnodhjelp.no/en/ They have been working in the congo since 1990 and operate in North and south Kivu https://archive.fo/Rbho8
@DominicTesla - please see

What the fuck? These people are fucking psychopaths for sure!
From the Article
"We consider rape an efficient form of biological warfare that is inexpensive to implement, effective over large areas, and does not particularly endanger the attackers. Its effectiveness relies on the perception, deeply embedded in patriarchal societies, that women's sexuality is a prefecture of male ownership, and it is linked to the persistence of unequal gender relations and particularly to the way women's bodies are regarded ([8], p. 45). Its impact is multiplied when the woman becomes pregnant and the attack is then passed on to the next generation [9].
Rape with extreme violence, as evidenced in the DRC today, is implemented in three ways: (i) gang rape, usually by three or more men, leading to a high risk of injury; (ii) genital mutilation; and (iii) intentional transmission of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia and HIV. Extremely violent rape has been documented in the report of 492 REV survivors in South Kivu: 57.3% of the women were convinced that the extreme violence and cruelty inflicted on them by armed forces was “proof that there was a plan to destroy and exterminate the Congolese people or in any case the communities that these women belonged to” ([8], p. 48). Seventy-two percent of women reported that they were tortured during the rape itself (beaten, wounded with machetes, genitally mutilated/burned by drops of plastic melted by flame), and 12.4% had had objects inserted into their vaginas (sticks, bottles, green bananas, pestles coated in chili pepper, rifle barrels); some women, after being raped, were killed by shots fired into their vaginas ([8], p. 34). Many women interviewed also believed that the rapes are aimed at destroying women's identity by means of “ethnic cleansing,” and that spreading HIV/AIDS and impregnating women are also deliberate acts ([8], p. 49). Such a strategy was prevalent in the Rwandan genocide ([10], p. 49])."

Very important article indeed. http://archive.is/0GZtt#selection-2851.10-2857.89
Summary
In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the destructive and sadistic behaviour systematically perpetrated by different armed groups over the last ten years signals a new pathology we classify as rape with extreme violence (REV). Rape is considered an inexpensive and effective biological warfare as well as a means of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
REV (rape with extreme violence) is devastating to populations and can permanently damage women's reproductive capacity. The most severe REV cases will need surgical repair of urogenital trauma, including urological-genital and rectal-genital fistulas, simple and diverse genital and/or anal wounds, diverse genital mutilation, and other complications such as fractures of the pelvis and femur.
Compared with surrounding areas in the forest and in North Kivu where there are direct military clashes, Bukavu, South Kivu's best-funded hospital, the Panzi Hospital is one of the few established medical centres that has the capacity and the expertise to treat the victims and survivors of REV.
Attacks on women of child-bearing age severely impacts family life (to the extreme that many women are abandoned by their husbands) or the future prospect of one, brought on by the shame of rape and the associated psychological and physical consequences. Given the large number of survivors and the long period of time required for healing, it is necessary to train social workers in each health region and help them get settled for the long term to allow localised provision of care. Which is one department that needs the most funding, besides equipment and specialised experts. Daycare is also provided for schoolgirls who have children as a result of rape.
Trafficking of the DRC's minerals directly assists the occurrence of atrocities. While mass rape in the eastern DRC continues to be documented widely by NGOs and the UN, this has yet to curb the use of REV and end impunity for such crimes against humanity. Violence is indeed carried out by “warlords and drug-crazed child soldiers”, but the driving mechanism behind the war is a rational system that ultimately benefits:
-The military (arms deals)
-Commercial (acquisition of minerals such as, gold, cassiterite and coltan which contains tantalum (widely used in electronics manufacturing such as cellphones))
-Political elites (Bribes, cash, money laundering, slavery, human trafficking, et al)
This article definitely sheds a light on the atrocities that are occurring in DRC and how the CF could be connected to all this. I hope this helps.

Note how the author considers slavery and human trafficking to be a staple of the political elite, alongside bribery and money laundering.

It wasn't the author of this article's consideration but mine. I summarised it by putting forward the most relevant and important points, but also gave examples for some of the terms used. Here are some original passages that influenced this specific part of my summary:
