Description:
February 2018 – The humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has deteriorated at an alarming rate since 2016. A surge in violent conflict and inter-communal tensions erupted in previously peaceful areas and intensified in others in 2017, forcing millions to flee their homes; bringing the total number of internally displaced people in the country to 4.49 million and severely stretching the humanitarian community’s capacity to respond. Across the DRC, at least 13.1 million people require humanitarian assistance - an increase of 79% from the start of 2017. This includes 7.7 million severely food insecure people and close to 2 million severely malnourished children.
With GAC’s support, World Vision Canada is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 24,263 conflict-affected people in Kasaï Central province, DRC. This project focuses on increasing access nutrition, protection, and livelihood support for conflict affected populations. Project activities include: (1) screening up to 1,775 girls and boys for malnutrition;
(2) providing up to 3,600 children with safe spaces; (3) providing up to 180 households with livelihood kits; and (4) holding up to 48 awareness sessions on the importance of women and girls in livelihoods.
