The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is experiencing a protracted humanitarian crisis. Extreme poverty, a fragile security context and intensified inter-community conflict have rendered communities increasingly vulnerable. 7.7 million people are facing crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity (phases 3 and 4), representing 11 percent of the rural population. This is mainly due to the crisis in Kasaï provinces and Tanganyika. The response will take an integrated two track emergency re sponse approach; combining emergency support to small holder agriculture production through the provision of seeds, tools and livestock as well as small scale livelihoods starter kits in order to save lives, protect livelihoods and build resilience of IDPs, returnees and host communities. Priorities for 2017 are as follows: Initial relief interventions in the areas most affected by population movements; fostering access and production of nutritious food; and supporting rural livelihoods opportun ities including income generation and social cohesion.

This Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) brief shares the results of a fifth-round assessment conducted in February and March 2023 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It presents key findings and recommendations for humanitarian actors to utilize in planning and implementing data-driven programming to sustain farmers’ livelihoods and build their resilience to future shocks – protecting the food security of rural people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) established the DIEM-Monitoring System to collect, analyse and disseminate data on shocks and livelihoods in countries prone to multiple shocks. DIEM-Monitoring aims to inform decision-making by providing regularly updated information on how different shocks are affecting the livelihoods and food security of agricultural populations. Information is collected from primary sources in the production process: producers, traders or marketers, input suppliers, extension officers and other key informants.
