STRATEGIC PRIORITY 21 MIGRATION AND IDENTITY Funding requirement in Swiss francs People to be reached 450,000 698,700 IFRC/Maria Santto High levels of internal and international mobility are a significant part of Congolese life. The economic situation, war and poor governance are the main factors affecting migratory trends in the DRC since 2000. Migrant remittances are an important source of income for recipient households. In large cities, 80 per cent of households receive such funds to maintain their livelihoods. Population movement is prevalent in the east of the country due to conflict between armed groups, and in the central areas due to inter-ethnic conflict. Despite figures that are difficult to estimate, the DRC remains a country of immigration. The mining boom continues to attract foreign labour, while some migrants travel through the DRC on their way to South Africa or Europe. The humanitarian needs of migrants and internally displaced people range from emergency aid for health, water, sanitation, hygiene and nutritional needs, to assistance in restoring family links and more long-term needs related to livelihoods, education and social integration. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated specific vulnerabilities for migrants, many of whom are exposed to multiple risks due to the difficulties they face in accessing information and services related to health and water, sanitation and hygiene. This is often as a result of their legal status, language or cultural barriers, and social stigma. The socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic could also lead to unanticipated population movements requiring greater preparedness from humanitarian organisations in the DRC. i 80% percentage of households in the DRC that receive migrant remittances O TARGET 1 698,700 migrants and displaced persons reached with assistance and protection services.
