SUSTAINED HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT | OCT 2021 - SEPT 2022
Key updates

The humanitarian landscape in the D.R. Congo has been
characterised by displacements, hunger, life-threatening
diseases, mostly driven by mass people movements
caused by spikes in conflict, mostly in North Kivu, Ituri and
parts of South Kivu.
Renewed fighting between the government forces and
the M23 displaced over 340,000 people This worsened
the plight of people in a country already home to 5.5
million internally displaced persons -the highest in Africa.
In DRC, 64% of the population lives on less than $2.15
daily. Food prices, especially in conflict-affected areas
have tripled, and 27 million people are in need of
humanitarian assistance. DRC is still struggling to address
the stubborn and interconnected effects of COVID19,
Ebola, the Mount Nyiragongo volcanic eruption and
ongoing conflict, as humanitarian funding dwindles. Of the
$ 1.88 bn appeal, only $ 703m had been raised (37%) by
end of September.
In addition to the loss of lives, economic weakening, and
the destruction of physical infrastructure, the insecurity
disrupted planting and harvest activities. Delayed rains in
areas like Ruzizi and below average rains reported by
FEWSNET further complicated the food situation for a
country where nearly 900,000 children are likely to suffer
severe acute malnutrition. Children have dropped out of
school, and many face the risk of early marriage.
DRC's multiple humanitarian crises exerted pressure on
health, economic and social structures. Kasai reported
rising incidents of measles, camps around Goma reported
cholera outbreaks and the provinces of Ubangi grapple
with an endemic refugee challenge.
This year, World Vision collaborated with UN agencies,
NGO's, DRC Government, communities and donors to
meet needs of children and families affected by man-made
and natural disasters in nine provinces.
Over 3.03m people, 1.81m children, benefitted from
World Vision's food, health, water and sanitation,
protection, and education programmes this year. World
Vision deeply appreciates partners and donors for
enabling this life-saving work, and celebrates its revived
eligibility to the UNOCHA-coordinated humanitarian
fund.
