Acted
Created in 1993, ACTED is an international non-governmental organization. It pursues a double mandate for emergency and development responses and intervenes in 40 countries deeply affected by conflicts, natural disasters and / or socio-economic vulnerabilities. 7,000 national employees and 400 international employees collaborate and allow ACTED to implement 500 projects per year with activities reaching more than 20 million beneficiaries in difficult-to-reach areas.

Guided by its motto « Think local, Agir global » as well as its strategy 3 Zeros ( Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon and Zero Poverty ), ACTED puts the territories at the center of its action and develops activities adapted to the needs of the beneficiaries.
Acted Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo ( DRC ) remains shaken by the consequences of decades of civil wars. In precarious situations, the displaced 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-build effective governance and promote inclusive and sustainable growth. Intervening today mainly in the areas of South Kivu, Tanganyika and North with projects funded by BHA ( Office for Humanitarian Assistance ), FH ( Humanitarian Fund ), ECHO ( European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations) and FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office ), ACTED provides a flexible emergency response adapted to acute and complex humanitarian crises by intervening with the most vulnerable populations. With seven projects underway in our different areas, ACTED seeks to meet their immediate needs in terms of access to housing ( shelters ), food security, essential household items or access to water, while promoting a protective environment.
ACTED currently has three different projects in the South Kivu Zone. A multisectoral 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 South East area. And a project on Emergency Assistance in Shelters 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 the Coordinated Action for multisectoral programming in camps and outside camps and another carried out in a consortium with the aim of supporting agricultural recovery activities and provide food assistance for vulnerable people. Finally, for the North Zone,ACTED also has a multisectoral response project in terms of food assistance, agricultural support, economic recovery as well as support in the areas of Water, Hygiene and Sanitation ( EHA ).
ACTED is committed to acting today and investing in the future with the contribution of a large network of partners, local organizations, global networks and various clusters that provide their expertise, their experience and their voice for the smooth running of the mission and the achievement of its impact objectives. In the DRC, ACTED is therefore active in humanitarian coordination with existing clusters and working groups, as well as entities such as OCHA.
