DRC - Emergency Assistance - People in Need 2020

FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-30

Summary
February 2020 - The crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is characterized by inter-ethnic conflict and widespread human rights abuses, including sexual violence. In 2020, 15.6 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in the DRC, a 22% increase from 2019, and it is expected that 2020 brings additional population movement, creating significant needs in protection, livelihoods, and food security. Currently, the DRC is home to the second largest food crisis, with almost 16 million people severely food insecure. In addition, it is home to the largest internally-displaced persons (IDP) population in Africa with 5.01 million displaced people. These needs are exacerbated by the ongoing Ebola outbreak, increased violence, and the forced return of hundreds of thousands of Congolese refugees. With GAC’s support, People in Need is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 24,524 conflict-affected people in Kabambare territory, DRC. This project focuses on improving water, sanitation and hygiene conditions of health structures (such as hospitals, clinics, health care centers), preventing and treating malnutrition, and providing basic health services to conflict-affected people. Project activities include: (1) distributing up to 48 medical kits to existing health structures; (2) providing sanitation and hygiene kits to health structures; (3) providing training to over 60 community health volunteers; and (4) distributing food supplements and equipment to help treat severe acute malnutrition.

Description (French)
Février 2020 - La crise en République démocratique du Congo (RDC) est caractérisée par un conflit interethnique et des violations généralisées des droits de la personne, y compris des violences sexuelles. En 2020, 15,6 millions de personnes ont besoin d’aide humanitaire en RDC, soit une augmentation de 22 % par rapport à 2019, et 2020 prévoit des mouvements de population supplémentaires, créant des besoins importants en matière de protection, de moyens de subsistance et de sécurité alimentaire. Actuellement, la RDC est le foyer de la deuxième crise alimentaire en importance, avec près de 16 millions de personnes en situation de grave d’insécurité alimentaire. En outre, elle abrite la plus grande population de personnes déplacées à l’intérieur de leur propre pays (PDIP) en Afrique, avec 5,01 millions de personnes déplacées. Ces besoins sont exacerbés par l’épidémie actuelle d’Ébola, la violence accrue et le retour forcé de centaines de milliers de réfugiés congolais. Avec le soutien d’AMC, People in Need, offre une assistance pour répondre aux besoins urgents de 24 524 personnes affectées par le conflit dans le territoire de Kabambare, en RDC. Ce projet se concentre sur l’amélioration des conditions d’eau, d’assainissement et d’hygiène des structures sanitaires (telles que les hôpitaux, les cliniques, les centres de soins), la prévention et le traitement de la malnutrition, et l’offre de services de santé de base aux personnes touchées par le conflit. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) la distribution de 48 trousses médicales aux structures de santé existantes; 2) la fourniture de trousses d’hygiène et d’assainissement aux structures sanitaires; 3) la formation de plus de 60 volontaires en santé communautaire; 4) la distribution de compléments alimentaires et de matériel pour aider à traiter la malnutrition aiguë sévère.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to quality life-saving treatment for those suffering from severe acute malnutrition; (2) increased access to quality life-saving primary healthcare services and complementary packages for children aged 0-59 months, women in reproductive age, and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence; and (3) improved water, sanitation and hygiene conditions of health structures. The expected ultimate outcome is reduced suffering, increased and maintained human dignity and lives saved particularly of the most vulnerable girls, boys, women and men affected by conflict and nutrition insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) un accès accru à des traitements de qualité vitaux pour les personnes souffrant de malnutrition aiguë sévère; 2) un accès accru à des services de soins de santé primaires de qualité vitaux et à des trousses complémentaires pour les enfants âgés de 0 à 59 mois, les femmes en âge de procréer et les survivants de violences sexuelles et sexiste; 3) une amélioration des conditions d’eau, d’assainissement et d’hygiène des structures sanitaires. Le résultat ultime escompté est : des vies sauvées, la souffrance atténuée et la dignité humaine préservée dans les pays qui font face à une crise humanitaire ou à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
