P008217001: The initiative will contribute to Canada's coordinated response to the Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC. The project will help strengthen or rebuild the weak health system in 22 zones at risk for the Ebola, not only to prepare them for the possible spread of the disease, but to increase supply, demand and quality of health services for vulnerable populations, including girls and women, living in this conflict zone. This development project will work in coordination with humanitarian efforts in the DRC. P008217002: This project's component provides additional funding to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic response in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This project aims to strengthen the coordination of national and provincial actors, and supports health structures and communities in the city of Kinshasa and provinces at risk of COVID-19 outbreak. This component of the project is being implemented in the health zones of the city of Kinshasa, which has an estimated population of 12 million, and 9 at-risk provinces (Kongo Central, Kwilu, Kwango, Mai-Ndombe, Kasaï, Haut-Katanga, Tshopo, Nord-Kivu and Sud-Kivu).

P008217001: The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 983,070 children under 5 (501,366 girls and 481,704 boys) and 196,614 pregnant women in two provinces in the DRC - North Kivu and Ituri - where the Ebola outbreak is taking place. The expected results are: (1) improved quality of preventive services to meet other health needs in targeted areas; (2) improved quality of curative services to meet health needs, especially for women and children, in targeted areas; 3) increased use of curative and preventive services in targeted areas.

P008217002: The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved coordination structures at both the national and provincial levels (support for the development of provincial plans) for the response to COVID-19 in the DRC; (2) strengthened capacities within structures for the management, monitoring and investigation of COVID-19 cases; (3) improved infection prevention and control in health structures and in the community (training of health personnel and community members, provision of hygiene kits and incinerators); and (4) strengthened risk communication and community involvement in collaboration with community organizations.
