CONTEXT:
The DRC has suffered from chronic instability since the late 1990s, linked to internal governance problems and its proximity to countries that have experienced major crises. Due to the fragility of its institutions, access to quality social services remains a major challenge for the entire Congolese population, estimated at between 100 and 120 million inhabitants.
The DRC faces a major challenge in resource governance, which has a significant impact on disaster risk management. As a result, when a disaster occurs, the government’s response often fails to meet all the needs, and this remains a major challenge for the population.
Eastern DRC has been the scene of a chronic crisis for over 20 years. Instability is constant, and armed groups are numerous. Humanitarian actors have been working in the area for many years, combining emergency, transition/resilience approaches and attempting to ensure some degree of development/stabilization.
Since January 2025, the security situation has deteriorated significantly with the capture of Goma and the resumption of fighting between M23 elements and those of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC).
Humanitarian access to these populations in emergency situations is a permanent challenge, both because of chronic insecurity and because of logistical access constraints (very degraded tracks and roads, regular landslides, flooded areas).
