Food security for crisis victims in DR Congo

Description

On the Impact level, the objective was to save lives and maintain the livelihoods of people in need. At the Outcome level the project targeted a multi-sector objective: (1) reducing and/or stabilising acute malnutrition in children under 5 and vulnerable adults, (2) ensuring adequate food intake of displaced people and refugees, (3) restoring livelihoods, (4) stabilising school attendance rates, and (5) reinforcing governance capacities. To this end, the project financed food distributions to displaced people and their host communities, school meals, the therapeutic feeding of malnourished infants, women and HIV/TB patients, as well as “Food for Work” measures to a limited extent. Given the fragile context, the promotion was handled via the World Food Programme of the United Nations.
