    For over two decades, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has suffered from a series of shocks – armed conflict, epidemic outbreaks and natural hazards – that have continued to increase humanitarian needs and people’s vulnerabilities. In order to provide livelihood support in 2019, FAO requires USD 50 million to support 1.8 million people.

    The Democratic Republic of the Congo has the world’s highest number of people in acute food insecurity. Without urgent assistance, about one-quarter of the population is projected to be in IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse) by June 2025, with 80 percent residing in rural areas. The country also has the second-highest number of internally displaced people in Africa, primarily due to armed conflict in the eastern provinces. FAO's emergency agricultural interventions provide cost‑effective solutions for vulnerable communities to quickly produce nutritious food. For example, with just 50 g of quality seeds, a household can harvest up to 250 kg of vegetables in just four weeks, worth USD 480.

    In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, rural populations are the most affected by recurrent shocks. Violence perpetrated by armed groups and inter-community conflict are triggering massive population displacements, mainly in the eastern part of the country. Compounding the situation are floods, insufficient rainfall in certain areas, epidemics and fall armyworm, which are limiting availability of and access to food thus exacerbating vulnerabilities and humanitarian needs. It is thus crucial to provide timely agricultural support to vulnerable households to allow them to produce their own food and generate income.
