Emergency Health response for vulnerable populations affected by conflict in Eastern DR Congo
The population in the targeted areas of North Kivu remains highly vulnerable as a consequence of a long-standing and complex crisis. Communities are subject to abuses carried out by various armed actors, aggravating their already poor health status, attributed to a lack of quality health services, poor sanitation and insufficient water supply. The tense political and security situation in eastern DRC generates little hope for improved living conditions for people affected by conflict.

Contexto |
Despite small improvements in stability and security in eastern DRC, the situation in general has seen little improvement. The population lacks protection in the face of a multitude of armed groups and human rights are regularly violated. The security situation in North Kivu has deteriorated over the last year and currently there is little hope that this will change any time soon. Access challenges, frequent insecurity and displacement, together with chronically poor health indicators all contribute to excess morbidity and mortality for a highly vulnerable population in a complex context. |
Objetivos |
This project aims to remove barriers to essential primary health care and increase the quality of health services provided in order to contribute to the reduction of excess morbidity and mortality in volatile and hard to reach areas of Walikale and Masisi Territories (North Kivu, DRC). |
Grupos destinarios |
Populations affected by displacement (including IDPs, recent returnees, and host populations) in the catchment area of 5 fixed health facilities in Kibua and Masisi Health Zones (North Kivu, DRC) and other unsupported health facilities during population movements/IDP influx or emergency responses to outbreaks. Total number of direct beneficiaries (catchment area): 38’500 Total of indirect beneficiaries (surveillance area): 112’785 |
