Agreement Number:

7464909 P015021001

Agreement Value:

$4,700,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 23, 2025 - Dec 31, 2026

Description:

November 2024 - Political instability, conflict and natural disasters have left more than 25 million people across the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in need of humanitarian assistance. Populations face insecurity, malnutrition, and limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. Also, hunger, displacement and conflict increase the risk of sexual and gender-based violence, especially for the most vulnerable. With GAC’s support, the Mennonite Central Committee provides a multi-sectoral response targeting displaced and conflict-affected people in North Kivu, DRC. Project activities include: (1) the provision of multi-purpose cash transfers (2) distribution of emergency non-food items and (3) the provision of protection services to mitigate the increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) for vulnerable women and girls.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project are: (1) increased capacity of beneficiary households to meet their immediate needs (including food, healthcare, non-food items, sanitation, etc.); and (2) increased use of protection services for forcibly displaced and conflict-affected women, men, boys and girls.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
