Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDemocratic Republic of the Congo | Response overview (May 2021) 2021

No results found.The Democratic Republic of Congo has the highest estimated number of people in acute food insecurity worldwide. The key drivers of food insecurity in the country are protracted conflict, mainly in the eastern provinces triggering population displacements and the disruption of livelihoods, the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and related containment measures, the economic decline linked to the currency depreciation and drop in GDP growth, and natural hazards (floods, animal diseases, etc.). Any further disruption to food supply chains will worsen human suffering and hamper efforts to tackle and reduce food insecurity. It is thus crucial to deliver livelihood assistance throughout the country, particularly so as not to miss the upcoming agricultural seasons to quickly increase access to food, improve and diversify households’ daily diet, create alternative sources of income and supply markets with local, fresh products. -

No results found.In 2020, the humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo deteriorated significantly amid persistent armed conflict in the eastern regions and increased violence in several other parts of the country. While structural issues remain, such as extreme poverty, limited access to basic services and weak social protection systems, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has aggravated the situation, deeply affecting the livelihoods of vulnerable households. Its socioeconomic impact has exacerbated existing inequalities, triggered higher unemployment rates, led to worse living conditions and increased protection risks, especially for women and girls. Providing immediate agricultural support to vulnerable households in time for the upcoming planting season will allow them to produce their own food and generate income.
