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. 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).
In response to needs and as part of its technical expertise, HI has been operating in the DRC since 1995 in numerous sectors and is a recognized player in humanitarian assistance and logistics.
In Kinshasa, multi-year development projects are being implemented on the themes of Physical and Functional Rehabilitation, Maternal and Child Health, Inclusive Education and Inclusive Governance.
In Kasai and Kasai Centrale, initially engaged in development activities, HI has intervened since the 2016 crisis on Food Security projects and is currently involved in an inclusive education project.
