Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Green Negotiated Territorial Development (GreeNTD) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Promoting a peaceful and lasting resolution to landconflicts in a protracted crisis context through a fair andenvironmentally sensitive approach
2016Since the late 19th century, the vast natural resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have constantly provoked violent interventions from outside the country and fueled internal conflicts. Population pressure, competition for land resources, mining, forestry and hunting, lack of secure access to land, weak governance and the instability of the institutional framework have caused tension between different actors. Thus, competition over access to natural resources is a structural problem and one of the main factors fueling power struggles in the region. In the current context of constant insecurity, arable land is under-used and productivity is limited. Conflicts contribute to a shortage of livelihoods for the most vulnerable rural communities, environmental degradation, and underpin a propensity to use violence to resolve problems. Land disputes represent a serious threat to the development and stability of the country, particularly in the east, where frequent movements of peo ple fleeing conflicts increase tensions between groups, particularly host communities. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed an integrated approach to address the multidimensional and multi-stakeholder problem of land conflicts: the Green Negotiated Territorial Development (GreenNTD), a socio-ecological and people-centred approach to the territorial development that is characterized by openness and inclusion. -
Booklet2017 Response Plan - The Democratic Republic of the Congo 2017
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDemocratic Republic of the Congo: Belgium’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.For more than two decades, the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s northeastern Ituri province has been facing a severe humanitarian crisis marked by violent attacks perpetrated by non-state armed groups, triggering massive population displacements. In addition, many communities are affected by natural hazards, such as floods, landslides and drought, exacerbating their vulnerabilities and leading to increased levels of food insecurity. According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (October 2024), over 1.5 million people in Ituri are acutely food insecure (IPC Phase 3 or above). Alarmingly, 61 percent of those in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) are internally displaced people, who previously relied on agriculture for household consumption and income. About 82 percent of displaced people reside with host families, putting additional pressure on them given already limited resources.The Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA), to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to provide vulnerable households with timely, lifesaving food production and livelihoods assistance in Ituri. This will help them meet their most immediate needs while creating the conditions to strengthen their resilience. -
