Acted Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains shaken by the consequences of decades of civil wars. In precarious situation, displaced people suffer from chronic food insecurity’ or diseases related to the lack of’ access to’au,’ hygiene and sanitation. Acted has been present since 2003 and works primarily to respond to emergencies, build resilience, co-build effective governance and promote inclusive and sustainable growth. Presenting today’ 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 responsive’ emergency response 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 (shelter), food security, and, essential household items or the’access to the’eau, while ensuring the promotion of’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 region. And a project on the’Assistance d’urgence en Abris et articles maisonnes essentielles with displaced populations and hosts.

Finally, for the North Zone,Acted also has a multisectoral response project on’food assistance, agricultural support, economic recovery and’ Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (EHA) support.
