Synopsis (short abstract) The Democratic Republic of the Congo remains the world’s largest food crisis, with one in four people facing acute hunger. While those most in need of humanitarian assistance rely on agriculture for their subsistence, only 4.1 percent of humanitarian funding to food sectors goes to support agricultural livelihoods. Emergency livelihood interventions are cost-effective. For example, with a USD 80 vegetable production package, a family can quickly produce a variety of nutritious food worth USD 480 on the local market.

    The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of Africa’s largest internal displacement crises, with 22 percent of the population acutely food insecure due to increased armed conflict and the impact of climate hazards. Emergency agricultural interventions offer cost‑effective solutions. For example, with a USD‑80 market gardening package, a family can quickly produce a variety of nutritious vegetables, worth USD 480 on the local market, improving their self‑reliance.

    The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to have the world’s highest number of people facing acute food insecurity: 26 million through June. Around 80 percent live in rural areas and rely on agriculture to feed and provide for themselves. Between 2016 and 2020, only USD 9 out 100 in food security assistance went to support rural livelihoods. This ratio needs to change for food security to improve.

    The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to face one of the largest food insecurity crises in the world, driven by armed conflict, natural disasters, disease outbreaks and economic challenges, including currency depreciation and high food prices. Nearly one-quarter of the population will likely experience high levels of acute food insecurity in the first half of 2025, of whom 3.3 million people are expected to be in Emergency according to the October 2024 Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) emergency programme is severely underfunded relative to staggering needs. Only 2.6 percent of its 2024 funding requirement has been met, marking a 72 percent drop compared to 2023. Urgent funding is needed to save livelihoods and reduce food insecurity.
