The Democratic Republic of Congo is affected by violent conflict, natural disasters, epidemics, food insecurity, chronic
poverty and structural deficiencies and is facing a humanitarian crisis that affects nearly 16 million people.
The DRC is already facing several floods, 12 Ebola epidemics and several other epidemics, including cholera, yellow fever,
and measles, as well as the COVID-19 epidemic.
These structural and cyclical crises result in significant population movements, the deterioration of the living conditions
of the most vulnerable people, a reduction in the respect of their fundamental rights and in their access to basic services.
In 2021, the Red Cross of the Democratic Republic of Congo (CR DRC) as an auxiliary to the public authorities plans to
help respond to these various crises and to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable people in collaboration with
Movement partners and others. Despite the scope activities, the CR DRC must constantly strive to learn and improve its
organizational management capacities to become a more effective, efficient and responsible partner in the provision of
its services.
