Synopsis (short abstract) 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 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.

    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.
