ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT:

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of the largest hunger crises in the world. Hunger and conflict fuel one another, with armed conflict and widespread displacement prevailing for the past 30 years and multiple other crises compounding DRC's humanitarian challenges. In recent years, the country has witnessed an increase in insecurity and armed conflicts in the East, resulting in recurrent displacements, and subsequently, worsening levels of food insecurity and threats to durable solutions.

The security situation is not anticipated to improve significantly in the context of the regionalization of the conflict and MONUSCO’s phased withdrawal. These recent developments have further increased challenges for humanitarian access, particularly in the country's eastern provinces. These include ongoing hostilities and violence against humanitarian personnel, assets and facilities; interferences in the implementation of humanitarian activities; compounding constraints related to the physical environment and lack of infrastructure.

WFP aims to strengthen its capacity to obtain and maintain humanitarian access to beneficiaries in coordination with cooperating partners and other UN agencies. This work would entail developing strategies to increase WFP acceptance, strengthening analysis and networking with local stakeholders, and step up internal coordination mechanisms.
