Direction Provinciale du Nord-Kivu a l’insigne honneur de présenter la liste exhaustive des avenues de la ville de Goma à l’intention des décideurs, chercheurs, enseignants, étudiants et autres personnes tant physiques que morales qui s’intéressent à la question démographique. Ces informations pourraient servir de base de sondage lors des études dans la ville de Goma. L’INS dédie cette publication plus spécialement à l’UNFPA et à l’UNICEF pour leur combat en faveur de l’amélioration de la situation socioéconomique en RDC en général et en province du Nord-Kivu en particulier. Le présent document comprend de manière succincte, un aperçu historique sur la ville de Goma avec ses deux communes : Goma et Karisimbi, leur délimitation géographique, la liste exhaustive des avenues réparties par cellule pour chaque quartier ainsi que les effectifs de la population par avenue pour l’année 2015. La méthodologie adoptée était de collecter les données dans les différents bureaux de quartier à l’aide d’un canevas préalablement élaboré et de classer les avenues par cellules et par quartiers. Ensuite, la validation des données a été faite au niveau de chaque bureau de quartier. L’INS profite de l’occasion pour lancer une fois de plus un appel au Gouvernement Congolais ainsi qu’aux Partenaires Techniques et Financiers pour appuyer sa production statistique dont l’importance pour la planification des actions de développement n’est plus

  • DR Congo: Volcanic Eruption in Goma Situation Report #15 08 June 2021
    DR Congo: Volcanic eruption in Goma Situation Report #15 08 June 2021 This report is produced by OCHA DRC in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period of June 08, 2021 (4pm Goma time).1 As of 09 June, the Situation Report will be issued on weekly basis, and in French. The next Situation Report will be published on Monday, 14 June 2021. HIGHLIGHTS • Return of displaced people from Sake towards Goma begins • Process of identification by the authorities of temporary relocation area Displaced people in Sake board a transport provided by the government to facilitate their return to Goma. 08 June, OCHA/Nadege Nodji SITUATION OVERVIEW On 08 June, the North Kivu provincial authorities started supporting with transportation the people displaced by the eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano according to the schedule announced the previous day. The Vice Governor was in Sake to oversee the return of displaced people. On the ground, OCHA teams observed a large movement of returns. Some displaced people, mainly those who lost their homes in the volcanic eruption, remained in Sake, having no accommodation in Goma. Local authorities in Sake have committed to relocating these people to a collective center, and to increasing their protection. According to the North Kivu civil protection, the distribution of government assistance announced by the Prime Minister will take place in the various districts of the city of Goma among the returnees. The Division of Social Affairs (DIVAS), UNICEF, the DRC Red Cross (CRRDC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) continue to work closely together in the identification, assistance, and reunification of unaccompanied children.

  • DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of the CONGO Hundreds of Schools Were Looted, Damaged, and Destroyed Or Used for Military Purposes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
    Global Coalition EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK GCPEA to Protect Education from Attack COUNTRY PROFILES DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO Hundreds of schools were looted, damaged, and destroyed or used for military purposes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Armed parties also reportedly threatened, abducted, injured, and killed students and education personnel. Both boys and girls were recruited from schools or along school routes, and reports indicated that girls were taken specifically for sexual purposes. Context Already ongoing for more than two decades, conflict continued in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. 678 A new conflict began in the Greater Kasai region in April 2016, when tensions between the government and traditional chiefs led to the emergence of the Kamuina Nsapu militia. 679 This violence surged in 2017, with conflict also escalating in North and South Kivu and Tanganyika provinces. 680 The armed parties included the Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo) (FARDC) and more than 120 non-state armed groups. 681 Most armed groups were small. One of the largest remaining groups was the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda) (FDLR), which was estimated to have between 500 and 1,000 fighters in 2017. 682 The UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), which began its peacekeeping mission in 1999, also continued to operate in the country. 683 As of August 2017, 3.8 million people were internally displaced throughout DRC. 684 State and non-state parties reportedly raped, sexually enslaved, and forcibly impregnated women and girls because of their ethnicity.
