Acted Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains shaken by the consequences of decades of civil war. In precarious situations, displaced people suffer from chronic food insecurity or diseases linked to lack of access to water, hygiene and sanitation. Present since 2003, Acted works mainly to respond to emergencies, strengthen the resilience of populations, co-construct effective governance and promote inclusive and sustainable growth. Currently operating mainly in the areas of South Kivu, Tanganyika and North with projects funded by BHA (Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance), FH (Humanitarian Fund), ECHO (European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations ) and FCDO ( Foreign , Commonwealth & Development Office), Acted provides a flexible and adapted emergency response to acute and complex humanitarian crises by intervening with the most vulnerable populations. With seven ongoing projects in our different areas, Acted seeks to meet their immediate needs in terms of access to housing (shelters), food security, essential household items and access to water, while ensuring the promotion of a protective environment.
Acted currently has three different projects in the South Kivu Zone. A multi-sectoral emergency project in food and non-food aid, in CCCM and also in agricultural recovery. A rapid response project managed by the SAFER consortium operating throughout the Southeast zone. And a project focusing on emergency assistance in shelter and essential household items for displaced and host populations. Regarding the Tanganyika Zone, Acted is currently carrying out two projects, one on the theme of Coordinated Action for multi-sectoral programming in camps and outside camps and another carried out in consortium with consisting of supporting agricultural recovery activities and providing food assistance for vulnerable people. Finally, for the North Zone, Acted also has a multi-sectoral response project in terms of food assistance, agricultural support, economic recovery as well as support in the areas of Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH).
