Democratic Republic of the Congo Insight and Key Trends by the World Food Programme (WFP) | 1 August 2021 HungerMapLIVE: Democratic Republic of the Congo insight and key trends By the World Food Programme (WFP) | 1 August 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 36.9M → 42.3M As of 3 May 2021 As of 1 August 2021 Crisis or above crisis level food-based coping strategies (HungerMapLIVE data)3 52.6M → 49.1M As of 3 May 2021 As of 1 August 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.

Current food security outlook There are 17 regions considered High Risk or Moderate Risk and Deteriorating in Democratic Republic of the Congo Nord-Ubangi Bas-Uele Haut-Uele Sud-Ubangi Mongala Ituri Tshopo Equateur Tshuapa Nord-Kivu Maï-Ndombe Sud-Kivu Sankuru Maniema Kinshasa Kwilu Kongo-Central Lomami Kasaï Kasaï-Oriental Tanganyika Kasaï-Central Kwango Haut-Lomami Haut-Katanga Lualaba The HungerMapLIVE divides regions into various tiers of risk based on: the prevalence of insucient food consumption and the prevalence of households utilizing crisis or above crisis level food-based coping strategies, as well as the change in these prevalences from 90 days ago (3 May 2021) until now (1 August 2021). 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. Regions with more than Tier 3: Moderate Risk and Deteriorating. Regions Tier 4: Moderate Risk and Stable. Regions with less more than 40% prevalence for the average of the 40% prevalence for the average of the above two with less than 40% prevalence for the average of than 40% prevalence for the average of the above above two indicators AND signicant deterioration indicators AND no signicant deterioration the above two indicators AND signicant two indicators AND no signicant deterioration observed for the average of both indicators from 90 observed for the average of both indicators from 90 deterioration observed for the average of both observed for the average of both indicators from 90 days ago. days ago. indicators from 90 days ago. days ago. Regions marked for deterioration for these metrics must satisfy one of the following conditions: (1) >40% prevalence: 15% increase, (2) 20-40% prevalence: 20% increase, (3) <20% prevalence: 25% increase.

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: hrwdc@hrw.org E-mail: hrwuk@hrw.org E-mail: hrwbe@hrw.org “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.

Suspected cases have been reported in all 18 provinces and confirmed cases have been reported in 16 of 18 provinces and 80 of 125 reporting districts. Mass reactive vaccination campaigns first began in Luanda and have now expanded to cover most of the other affected parts of Angola. Recently, the campaigns have focused on border areas. Despite extensive vaccination efforts circulation of the virus persists. Eleven reactive and pre-emptive mass vaccination campaigns are ongoing in several districts in Benguela, Huambo, Huila, Kwanza Norte, Kwanza Sul, Lunda Norte and Uige provinces. Six other mass vaccination campaigns are nearing completion. Mop-up campaigns are being implemented in parts of the provinces of Cunene, Lunda Norte, Uige and Zaire. Other than an increase in the number of suspected cases recently reported, there are no updates regarding the epidemiological situation in the Democratic Republic of The Congo (DRC). For the last three weeks the national laboratory in DRC has been unable to confirm or discard any suspected cases of yellow fever due to technical issues. According to the latest available information (as of 11 July), the total number of notified suspected cases is 1798, with 68 confirmed cases (as of 24 June) and 85 reported deaths. Cases have been reported in 22 health zones in five of 26 provinces.
