The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the largest French-speaking country in Africa, with over 80 million hectares
of arable land and a population of more than 86 million people. Despite immense natural resources and financial wealth,
the DRC has a high level of poverty and social insecurity among its vulnerable populations, exacerbated by the ongoing
threat of violence from militias.
People in the DRC are repeatedly faced with disease outbreaks, including Ebola, cholera, yellow fever, malaria, typhoid
fever and acute respiratory infections, as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Natural disasters are also common,
with recurring floods and landslides posing a significant threat to vulnerable communities.
Access to clean, safe drinking water and basic hygiene and sanitation facilities are limited, further exacerbating the spread
of disease. Armed conflict has resulted in mass population movements and violence against marginalised groups is also
an ongoing issue.
