Context
The security situation has deteriorateddue to a new round of armed clashes, especially in the provinces of Ituri and North-Kivu, which have triggered one of the most severe internal displacement crises in the world, with a total of 6.9 million displaced people registered in 2023.
In addition, the combined effects of the lasting conflict and numerous shocks (security, health, climate, economic) have exacerbated the population’s vulnerability to existing threats, in particular epidemics and waterborne diseases, while access to healthcare remains a challenge.

In early 2023, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL responded to the M23 crisis by providing assistance for displaced people on the outskirts of Goma. Faced with large-scale needs and a lack of resources, our NGO advocated for funding with our partners. As soon as funds were obtained from the European donor ECHO, we set up a “Petit Nord Kivu” operational zone, where we opened a field base, recruited a team and negotiated access with local stakeholders.
SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL systematically adapted its activities to the evolving conflict, enabling us to take action on both sides of the front line. However, there are still very substantial
humanitarian needs, and we are pursuing our advocacy to respond to them.
Institutional and private funding partners ECHO, BHA, CDCS, DRC HF, AFD, SDC, FCDO, AERMC
