CONTEXT :

The DRC has suffered chronic instability since the end of the 1990s, linked to internal governance problems and its proximity to countries that have experienced major crises. Due to the fragility of institutions, for the entire Congolese population, estimated at between 100 and 120 million inhabitants, access to quality social services remains a major challenge.

The DRC is experiencing a major challenge in resource governance which has a major impact on disaster risk management. As a result, when an event occurs, the government’s response often fails to meet all needs, and this remains a major challenge for the population.

The east of the DRC has been the scene of a chronic crisis for more than 20 years. Instability is permanent there and armed groups are numerous. Humanitarian actors have been intervening in the area for many years, mixing emergency, transition/resilience approaches and trying to ensure a certain development/stabilization.

Since October 2022, the security situation has seriously deteriorated with the resumption of fighting between elements of the M23 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, areas flooded).
