Democratic Republic of the Congo Insight and Key Trends by the World Food Programme (WFP) | 7 September 2021 HungerMapLIVE: Democratic Republic of the Congo insight and key trends By the World Food Programme (WFP) | 7 September 2021 FOOD INSECURITY AT A GLANCE 18.5M M 26.2M Chronic hunger 105.9 Acute hunger Population (undernourishment) (WFP D.R. Congo, 2021) IPC Phase 3+ (SOFI Report, 2021)1 (IPC, Aug 2021 - Dec 2021)2 The HungerMapLIVE tracks core indicators of acute hunger in near real-time. Acute hunger is measured by key indicators such as household food consumption, livelihood behaviors, child nutritional status, mortality, access to clean drinking water and other contextual factors. The HungerMapLIVE primarily tracks trends on household food consumption, consumption-based coping and livelihood changes to track multiple aspects of food insecurity. As these are outcome level 1 indicators in the Integrated Food Security Phase Classication (IPC) Framework, they can provide early indications of potential shifts in acute food insecurity. Insucient food consumption (HungerMapLIVE data)3 41.7M → 42.0M As of 9 June 2021 As of 7 September 2021 Crisis or above crisis level food-based coping strategies (HungerMapLIVE data)3 53.2M → 45.6M As of 9 June 2021 As of 7 September 2021 Methodology Note: The HungerMapLIVE includes data from two sources: (1) WFP’s continuous, near real-time monitoring systems, which remotely collect thousands of data daily through live calls conducted by call centres around the world; and (2) machine learning-based predictive models. Therefore, to note this dierentiation, this report indicates whether a region’s data is based on WFP’s near real-time monitoring systems (marked ‘ACTUAL’) or predictive models (marked ‘PREDICTED’). 1 Chronic hunger (undernourishment) is dened by people not able to meet long-term food consumption requirements.

Regions are divided into these tiers based on the following criteria: Tier 1: High Risk and Deteriorating. Regions with Tier 2: High Risk and Stable.

I counted 82 bodies most of whom had been killed by bullets. We did a survey and found that 787 people were missing – we presumed they were all dead though we don’t know. Some of the bodies were in the road, others in the forest. Three people were even killed by mines. Those who attacked knew the town and posted themselves on the footpaths to kill people as they were fleeing. -- Testimony to Human Rights Watch ITURI: “COVERED IN BLOOD” Ethnically Targeted Violence In Northeastern DR Congo 1630 Connecticut Ave, N.W., Suite 500 2nd Floor, 2-12 Pentonville Road 15 Rue Van Campenhout Washington, DC 20009 London N1 9HF, UK 1000 Brussels, Belgium TEL (202) 612-4321 TEL: (44 20) 7713 1995 TEL (32 2) 732-2009 FAX (202) 612-4333 FAX: (44 20) 7713 1800 FAX (32 2) 732-0471 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] “You cannot escape from the horror” This story of fifteen-year-old Elise is one of many in Ituri.

Discovered in 1903, the disease is endemic in all provinces. Ivermectin was introduced in 1987 as clinical treatment, then as mass treatment in 1989. Created in 1996, the NPOC is based on community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI). In 1999, rapid epidemiological mapping for onchocerciasis surveys were launched to determine the mass treatment areas called “CDTI Projects”. CDTI started in 2001 and certain projects were stopped in 2005 following the occurrence of serious adverse events. Surveys coupled with rapid assessment procedures for loiasis and onchocerciasis rapid epidemiological assessment were launched to identify the areas of treatment for onchocerciasis and loiasis.

Political and Security Situation in Kasaï, Kasaï Central and Sankuru Political tensions continued in Kasaï, Kasaï Central, and Sankuru in June. These were mainly due to fractures within the Front commun pour le Congo (FCC) and Cap pour le changement (CACH) political coalitions. The governor of Kasaï, Dieudonné Pieme, who is a member of the FCC, announced his cabinet on June 24 and the members of his government the following day. This announcement came more than a month after his return to Tshikapa after having taken part in the provincial gover- nors’ meeting with president Tshisekedi in Kinshasa. His government is composed of 10 mem- bers, unlike the government which preceded his, that had only five members. The government was immediately contested by various parties – not unlike the controversy surrounding the government of Kasaï Central in May.

  • Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Multi-Year Development Food Assistance Projects Fiscal Years 2016-2020
    Country Specific Information: Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Multi-Year Development Food Assistance Projects Fiscal Years 2016-2020 I. Introduction The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) Office of Food for Peace (FFP) intends to award up to three cooperative agreements with the goal of improving food and nutrition security and economic well-being in vulnerable populations in DRC by assisting Congolese people to identify and take advantage of transformational opportunities to learn, mitigate, adapt, invest and thrive. FFP investments are intended to contribute to the achievement of USAID/DRC’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS), particularly in creating a foundation for durable peace in eastern Congo and improving lives through coordinated development approaches. DRC is a pilot country for FFP’s new process for development projects called Refine and Implement (R&I). Please see Annex II to the RFA for additional information on R&I for this application process. Subject to availability, the anticipated funding for these new multi-year development food assistance projects is $150 million (total resources for up to three awards) for an initial five- year period. The three project focus areas are: (1) Kalehe, Kabare, and Walungu territories of South Kivu; (2) Moba and Kalemie territories of Tanganyika1; and (3) select locations in Kasai Central and/or Oriental provinces.2 Applicants may include variable annual funding levels over the life of the activity, but the total amount awarded for all three awards combined will not exceed $150 million. Due to the anticipated availability of Section 202(e) funds, monetization of Title II commodities is not authorized.

  • Climate Risk Profile: Democratic Republic of the Congo
    FACT SHEET CLIMATE RISK PROFILE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO OVERVIEW The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the largest country in Francophone Africa (spanning 2.3 million km2) and home to large swaths of arable land, vast quantities of natural resources and minerals, and critical habitats supporting rich biodiversity. Unfortunately, this abundance of resources has not translated into stability or wealth for the majority of people, as the country is currently characterized by significant social vulnerability, political instability, food insecurity and high poverty rates (64 percent). Climate variability and change are likely to exacerbate these concerns, particularly as the majority of agricultural production is rainfed (and provides livelihoods for the majority of the population), and climate-sensitive diseases like malaria are likely to expand into new areas. Increased temperatures and variable rainfall will also impact DRC’s forests (important for livelihoods and ecosystem services), which are already under threat from land use change and growing demand for charcoal and tropical forest products. More extreme weather events like intense rainfall after prolonged dry spells lead to erosion and flash flooding, damage roads and infrastructure, wipe out crops and put additional lives at risk. For example, heavy rains in January 2018 caused severe flooding, landslides and silting in nine communes of Kinshasa, affecting more than 15,700 people and claiming 51 lives.
